Nathaniel Leith – Ngāti Raukawa
The Mixdown Ltd provides specialised Audio Post Production and Field Sound Engineering services. Owned and operated by Nathaniel Leith, they focus on collaborating with businesses to create high-quality media content, produced for TV, social media campaigns, and business marketing materials.
Leveraging expertise in Avid Pro Tools (210 certified), sound design, ADR, and audio mixing – they help bring imagery to life through their efforts in the power of sound.
The Mixdown takes pride in its proven track record of delivering high results for nationally recognised companies, including TVNZ, Whakaata Māori and many corporate entities. These associations along with industry recognition, further solidify their credibility and position in the market.
Poutama recently supported The Mixdown with funding for new studio equipment. Nathaniel says, “Thanks to Poutama we’ve expanded the Audio Post Studio with a second station, which has been a significant improvement.”
“With the seasonal increase in projects, having this extra space has allowed us to double output, which has been incredibly helpful here at The Mixdown!”
“One of the highlights of this expansion has been our ability to contract for the first time. We have brought on Mauri Shelford as a Junior Audio Engineer having recently graduated from university in Wellington on a television show called “Kāinga Whenua.” The show focuses on whenua Māori and what is being done all through Aotearoa from papa kāinga to business.”
“We decided to use this second station exclusively for the show including all mixing and editing which turned out great! We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and how this new asset has helped with our business expansion and growth already.”
“Kāinga Whenua” will be airing on Whakaata Māori early next month so be sure to keep an eye out. For further information on The MixDown check out Nathaniel’s page on LinkedIn.
