Tom-
In my experience here in LA , a "Predub" session is what a mixer uses as the source for his "Premix".

Larry Blake's glossary is useful in an academic sense, but I think for practical definitions, we need to make a more concise collection available.

Dubbing.
what Charles is calling a pre-mix can also be called a pre-dub. is that right?
Dubbing can be the same as Re-recording. 'Dub' is an American term....and certainly doesn't refer to Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock (for you post-reggae dub fans) . Dubbing means copy, and since when you do the final mix of a film, you are re-recording what was already recorded onto another media : a 'Dubber'; a Mag Machine; a Magnetic Optical Disc... your are Re-Recording it, like in music when you mix to 1/4" or 1/2" tape.
Dubbing can also mean to replace dialogue either in the same language or in a different language.
