  • Does Modern Music license music?

Yes. Our music supervisors have licensed thousands of tracks for use in film, television, advertising and new media.

  • How do I obtain a quote?

Our rates vary depending on the nature and scope of the service we provide.

  • Does Modern Music do final mix to picture?

Yes. We have done hundreds of final mixes for TV spots. Modern Music's staff has developed proprietary techniques for making our ads sound better (and louder) than almost any television commercial they are up against.

  • Does Modern Music do surround mixing?

Yes. We do 5.1 mixing for television. We recommend that projects intended for theatrical release be mixed in a theatrical surround sound mixing facility. We're happy to supervise and prep those mixes for you. If necessary, we can also refer you to a surround sound mixing studio.

  • Does Modern Music work on Spanish-language projects?

Yes. We've recorded voice-over(s) and composed music for dozens of projects geared for Spanish-speaking consumers, both in the U.S. and throughout Latin America. In fact, with fluent Spanish speakers on staff and proven relationships with Hispanic voice talent and Latin music composers, Modern is uniquely positioned to work on any Spanish-language projects.

about modern

  • What's the history of Modern Music?

CEO Tony Fischer opened the doors of Modern Music in 2000. Since then our music and sound design facility in Minneapolis has thrived as an independent complement to Fischer's family of film and video post-production companies, Fischer Edit and Fischer FX, and the full-service production company, Runner Runner. The four companies form a true one-stop shop without compromises.

  • Are you hiring?

We are always looking for composers and sound designers who produce outstanding work.
