About Sounds In Sync
Sounds In Sync is a specialist software company dedicated to developing precision tools for the film and television post-production sound industry. Founded by developer and sound professional Mark Franken, the company focuses on solving complex technical challenges that arise in real-world editorial workflows.
Since its inception, Sounds In Sync has worked closely with dialogue editors, sound editors, re-recording mixers and post-production facilities to create software that integrates seamlessly into professional environments. The company’s tools are designed with a deep understanding of how sound departments actually work, ensuring accuracy, reliability and efficiency in high-pressure production schedules.
A History of Practical Innovation
Sounds In Sync’s development work dates back to the early 2000s, originating from the need to streamline conforming and editorial processes during feature film post-production. Over time, this work evolved into a suite of specialised tools that help sound professionals manage picture changes, assemble production audio, and streamline ADR cueing and recording workflows.
Rather than producing broad consumer software, Sounds In Sync has consistently focused on niche but critical areas of post-production where automation, accuracy and technical robustness provide the greatest value.
Supporting Professional Post-Production Worldwide
Software developed by Sounds In Sync is used by major studios, post-production facilities and freelance sound editors across the global film and television industry. These tools support workflows ranging from large-scale feature films and streaming productions to independent projects and documentary work.
By prioritising reliability and technical depth, Sounds In Sync software is trusted in environments where editorial accuracy and tight deadlines are essential.
