Before digital, film dubbing was done from magnetic tape and the film was projected from a work print. In order to save time, mixing was done both forwards and backwards. In other words, when working on a particular scene, they would mix while running it and then run it at the same speed backwards while continuing to mix. Good times. I've worked in recording studios with huge recording consoles(up to 112 channels at Oceanway/Record One in the late 1980s), but the mixing desks for dubbing are insanely huge. It is quite probably the most technically challenging task in film-making.

Dear Anne, While exporting Cues from Cubase Pro with the help of cycle markers, does Cubase export the stems with SMPTE TC information also, so that one can easily drag and drop the stems using the spot mode on ProTools?

Thank you

This is so cool! I love these videos; they're clear, thorough, and to the point.

Wonderful! Thanks again for these easy to understand lesson. Excited for the (hopefully) upcoming tutorials! :-))

Hello Anne! Thanks for your wonderful videos! I would like to ask you something. What happens if the music needs to be composed before the picture editing? For exemple, a Streaming Show that will do the picture editing on top of what you are already composing. So in this case I´m delivering the Stems to the picture editing staff first and then they will cut to picture and then send to Dub stage. So I kinda have no control of how they are editing the music to picture. In some cases, if I know the dubbing staff I ask them to send me the Pro Tools session so I can fix possible editing issues coming from the picture editing staff, but if I don´t have any access to the dubbing stage, I´ll freak out! Thanks! I hope i made myself clear :)

I love you Anne but I’m in cubase/nuendo do I export my wav files to protools on another laptop and go from there? What is the best route for me?

[keitumetsebogatsu]

I doubt we Do this in My Country 🙁 Or maybe not at That Level Where it’s mixed in a theatre 🎭

Thanks for these tutorials, super useful tips. I just wondering is the 'v0510' at the end of your file names the date which you delivered this version to the dub? I've always wondered what was the best way to signal that a file is the MASTER in the name?

Awesome.. Thank you. Cool collection of info!
I mix for TV and film full time and it's fun to see this from your side of things.
Ps, just thought you'd want to know your dialogue is a bit sibilant. If you have a dynamic (or ribbon) mic kicking around that could be a simple fix to tame the sibilance without having to do any EQ'ing in your capture process and would be more pleasant for us to listen to. Not a HUGE issue and not trying to offend at all. I like your channel and would love to watch your content without having to make adjustments on my end to compensate. I know others (even unknowingly) would appreciate it also.
