MTV’s Promposal

Project

In 2017, MTV made reality television of one of the Internet’s favorite viral moments: the promposal. The show follows a series of high school students planning elaborate invitations to the prom for crushes and friends. Flavorlab Sound provided mix for the debut season.

Goals & Process

It was all hands on deck at the Flavorlab office. Every engineer available had a hand in building these magic moments of adolescence. The underlying feeling of youth and anticipation is integral to the show. The mix needed to keep up with the dynamic, high energy, while also building to the big reveal. “I have to be very precise in the way I mix the music,” says Brian Quill. For example, there’s always a big, important moment, when the promposal is answered, and I have to make sure the music builds it up in intensity without obscuring any of the natural energy of the moment.”

The team utilized the RX 6 plugin in Izotope for spectrographic analysis. This allowed them to remove extra voice from single audio sources. While still a challenge, they were able to study the waveforms and pick out the thread of each voice. From there, they removed whichever voice was getting in the way.

Results

Season 1 of Promposal wrapped July 3rd, 2017. Viewers can find it on MTV.
