What Audiomachine does

Audiomachine is a Los Angeles–based music production company founded by Paul Dinletir (and Kevin Rix, per company history) that specializes in epic, cinematic, orchestral-and-electronic scores for film and television trailers, video games, and advertising. Its core technology is human-driven composition and production combined with a large pre-produced catalog (albums including WORLDS OF WONDER 2, WHODUNNIT?, VISCERA, REIMAGINED, LIFE, CHROME OVER BRASS, QUARTETRA) that can be licensed, remixed, or trailerized for individual projects. The team of named composers (Paul Dinletir, Harry Lightfoot, Daniel Tauber, Jeffrey Gaiser, Ben Knorr) has credits on trailers for The Last of Us Season 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Top Gun: Maverick, Dune, The Batman, Severance, Shōgun, and scores for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Alan Wake 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Assassin's Creed Origins.

The company operates a dual go-to-market model. On the enterprise side, a sales-led motion engages major studios and global brands directly for bespoke composition and catalog licensing (clients include Disney, Universal, Warner Bros, Apple TV+, Paramount, A24, Focus Features, Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda, BMW, Volvo, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Nike, and Adidas). On the long-tail side, a self-serve micro-licensing website enables individuals and SMBs to license tracks across seven tiered price points from $3.99 (personal use) to $399.99 (small business website), with payment via PayPal or credit card and YouTube Content ID claim release for monetization. Distribution extends to Apple Music and Spotify for consumer streaming, and to YouTube and social platforms for licensed video use. Marketing relies on organic social (Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), an email newsletter, optional SMS updates, and a portfolio-driven website.

Audiomachine is a privately held, independent company with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors. It runs a community outreach sub-brand, Create Audio, in partnership with Create Now to deliver a 20-week music education program to emancipated foster youth in Los Angeles. The firm has 11–50 employees and remains operating, with active releases continuing into 2025.
