Mastering content to the highest global quality standard is finally possible without having to go abroad.
Guests who attended the opening of Waxiefied Sound Production were recently treated to an immersive experience consisting of listening to the songs of local artists in a variety of modes, ranging from stereo mix to Waxiefied stereo master to Dolby Atmos. This was recently displayed to attendees of the event.
Waxiefied Sound Production is the country’s first and only official Dolby Atmos home entertainment certified studio. It recently opened its doors to begin providing services to local customers. Hundreds of studios across the globe are equipped to produce content using Dolby Atmos.
Waxie Joaquin, founder of Waxiefied Sound Production and executive mastering engineer, stated that there are around three to four studios in the area that are equipped to play Dolby Atmos. They accomplish this by using headphones or by relying on their visual stock knowledge.
Dolby Atmos, a pioneer in the field of audio technology, has recognized Waxiefied Sound Production as deserving of their highest accreditation, the Home Entertainment Studio Certification. We were given a sneak peek at what immersive sound engineering will be like during the opening of the first and only certified Dolby Atmos Home Entertainment Studio in the country. The equipment used to create, edit, mix, and master high-quality footage for Blu-ray and online streaming was shown to Wes. Dolby Atmos Sound Mastering Service was also unveiled as a means to locally master and manage the audio of a wide range of media, including music, audiovisual clips, reels, TV programs, TV series, and movies, without the need for costly international travel.
The people behind this endeavor are all professionals in the music business with a deep love and commitment to sound and music. This includes acoustic and audio mastering engineers, event DJs, and sound consultants. Waxie G. Joaquin, the company’s creator and Executive Mastering Engineer, is at the heart of this effort. He detailed every step they took to get where they needed to go. The process of placing orders for the studio’s necessary equipment. They had us do the “feel it to believe it” thing, and now we can.

“The new threshold provided by Dolby Atmos Home Entertainment Studio opens more room and possibilities for cultivating, uncovering, and sharpening the creativity of artists with the help of this cutting-edge technology,” Joaquin shared. “With the track record and expertise of our team, we are confident to produce top-notch and immersive quality audio that will give a multidimensional approach to storytelling,” he added. When asked if we should look forward to hearing OPM classics remastered in their room, Joaquin happily shared that they are more than happy to do it and are making “ligaw” to have the original copy from an unnamed artist that they want to remaster.
Their employment of the Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite facilities in the country spells the end of multiple back-and-forth accession of local content to mastering studios abroad just to have it certified by Dolby as well as do quality control and certify high resolution lossless files and Apple Digital Masters sound for Apple Music. To put simply, submitting content or sending a piece of music to digital platforms such as Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, or Amazon can be done faster, more efficiently and conveniently at a fraction of the cost of having this done abroad.
“With Dolby Atmos Music, songs can live and breathe in new ways to fully immerse you. It has levels of detail and depth that you simply can’t hear with standard sound — like listening to your favorite songs for the first time!” shares the Dolby Atmos team.
