Sound Mixing: Telling the Full Sound Story

Presented by: Mix Magazine 

Everything audio—the music, sound effects and dialog—comes together on the re-recording stage. No matter how much care and fine-tuning has gone into the edit, once the tracks are delivered to the dub stage, the full story begins to take shape. The balance and the tone, the pacing, subtle shifts in dialog, the size of the explosions, the boost of a Foley footstep, the music entrances and fades. Whether the supervising sound editor/sound designer is also the re-recording mixer, or whether the mix team provides a whole new set of ears, there will be some surprising challenges, and sometimes happy accidents, in bringing the full sound story to life.
