Mark Franken is the double Emmy-winning creator of the sound editing software tools EdiCue, EdiLoad and EdiPrompt; products that since their inception in 2007, have come to be indispensable to dialogue editors, supervising sound editors, ADR recordists and re-recording mixers working in the sound for moving pictures sector. They are now the industry standard protocols for the organisation, exchange and delivery of post-production audio for film and television. With their time-saving capabilities, it's also fair to say that they have had a significant impact on the ability of streaming broadcasters to start the production trend for movie-length, multi-episodic series.

But the integral component in each of these products is borne out of the experience of Mark Franken as a highly successful sound creative in both hemispheres… Before Mark founded his software company Sounds in Sync, he was a busy and time-pressed dialogue editor, sound effects editor, music editor and re-recording mixer, working on major motion pictures.
