Fresh, relevant, and story-focused sound

We help creatives around the world tell stories that resonate. Whether it’s making dialog crystal clear, or creating entire sonic worlds from the ground up, we erase the edges of the screen to draw the audience in. At Defacto, we’re obsessed with every nuance of sound. From the subtle whisper of a desert breeze to the explosive roar of a car engine, we remove the barrier of disbelief.

We specialize in natural, abstract, and hybrid sound design, and we're experts in mixing for any of the hundreds of delivery requirements, including web, broadcast, 5.1, Atmos, and beyond. You may not realize it, but you’ve likely already heard our work in the thousands of trailers and promos we’ve crafted for Netflix, HBO, Discovery and more. We can also be heard at major film festivals, in blockbuster video games, and in the advertisements of the world’s most thoughtful brands.
