About Us Hero

HAL

Sounds and stories

HAL is a french audio post-production company, gathering sound engineers, sound editors, re-recording mixers and developers, that have been supporting directors and artists since 2006 in the conception, design and implementation of the sound of their artistic creations.

The HAL team has worked on hundreds of films (and won the Oscar for Best Sound for the film « Sound of Metal ») but their credits included also countless podcasts, art installations and commercials.

HAL has recently started to create its own audio plug-ins, with the aim of meeting the needs of sound people working in post-production, with innovative, efficient and great sounding tools.
