Mexico City, MX, March 16, 2021 — As one of the preeminent feature film re-recording mixers working today, two-time BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Award nominee Jaime Baksht has spent almost three decades behind the re-recording console, credited for mixing I Am No Longer Here (2020, Ariel Award Best Sound), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006, BAFTA Nominee, Goya Winner Best Sound), and Darius Marder’s directorial debut Sound of Metal (2021, BAFTA, CAS, AMPS Sound Nominee). Most recently, he received an Oscar nomination for Best Sound for his work on “Sound of Metal.” While Baksht mixes on an SSL C300 at AstroLX, his most recent acquisition — an SSL 2+ two channel audio interface — has earned a permanent place in his studio set up for both critical listening and ADR applications.
Despite being impacted by the global pandemic like everybody else, Baksht and his team — including re-recording mixer and dialogue editor Michelle Couttolenc (2021 BAFTA, CAS, AMPS, MPSE nominee) — remained incredibly busy last year, completing mixing of Sound of Metal (sound design by Nicolas Becker and music by Abraham Marder) — a major motion picture released in November of last year. The new film, which has been hailed by critics and which just received an Oscar nomination for Best Sound, was the team’s primary focus during 2020.
