Dialogue. Music. SFX. In a chaotic action scene, who wins? 🥊
Disney engineers use a strict "Sonic Pyramid" to ensure the story never gets lost in the noise. We analyzed how they prioritize frequency ranges so you hear both the whisper and the explosion.

#1 Step 3 is the Sonic Strategy. This is the bridge between business goals and creative art.
Here, we create a "Sonic DNA Document," which translates adjectives into audio rules:
- "Optimistic" becomes "Major pentatonic scale."
- "Tech-forward" becomes "Synthesized textures."

#1 Before we create, we audit. Step 2 is the Contextual Scan.
We look at two things:
✔️Internal Audit: Where are you already using sound? (Hold music? App notifications? That weird buzz your product makes?)
✔️Competitor Analysis: What does the rest of the industry sound like?
