    Scott Bradley, Northern Heart Films

  • "Dissolve Audio was brilliant at enhancing the sound on our videos for Lancaster University. We required some audio polishing on interviews along with SFX for things like medical sounds. Communication was great and the end product was a series of really nice high-end corporate videos that the client was thrilled with. Brian is a pleasure to work with and we will be using Dissolve Audio again in the future!"

    Katy Bass, Lanor Productions
