Patrick Giraudi was born in France where he studied electronics and became a professional drummer at age 15. He also own and operated a recording studio as well as performing live with his band. Passionated by music and sound for movies, he moved to Los Angeles in 1987. Patrick started working graveyard shifts in music recording studios in Hollywood and made his way up to lead engineer but his passion for sound effects and digital editing lead him to switch gear in 1991 and became a sound editor and later a re-recording mixer for motion pictures at Digital Sound and Picture a State Of The Art audio post production company. In 1999, Patrick started freelancing as a re-recording mixer bringing his own gear to the mix stages since Protools wasn't wildly used at that time. Over the years, he mixed films directed by David Lynch, Walter Salles, Robert Townsend, Kevin Bacon as well as major film networks including Tales From The crypt for HBO, Showtime features films, Xena Warrior Princess for Universal, Audio restorations for MGM, Austin Powers for newline Cinema to name a few. Some of these films were nominated or won MPSE awards for best sound and other festival awards. In 2010, Patrick has been expending his skills and brought his post sound knowledge to the film sets by doing location recording on films he was doing post on. It's a definite gain of quality for the filmmakers to have their sound designer on the set. Patrick opened his own State Of The Art digital facility; Virtualmix studios which is located in Burbank, CA. With his small and very talented crew, most of the sound recording of ADR and Foley, sound editing, sound design and mixing takes place there. The future looks promising for Patrick and Virtualmix as more films are being produced and the demand for pristine sound that each motion pictures needs is a challenge he is willing to accept and deliver. - IMDb Mini Biography By: PG
