interesting to see more poeple doing dialog editing. i do it but we almost, rarley, never do ADR. we call it restoration .. e

. just a joke. the production tracks are so bad we basically do restoration.

so i do a ton of dialog editing.a show a day sometimes2 in a good day when the set recorders decided IT IS a good idea to stop a scene when a plane is flying by!!

but we dont catalog the scenes or anything. so im interested to see a little more of what u do that u need to catalog the scene and such. I know you need it for when u do ADR but that money wagon never came for us.

so what i do is take out the crappy extra audio and create fades so there is no sudden shift in noise/ambience. so imagine one scene with a plane passing by during dialog and then another take during the same dialog, there is almost no noise from the mic. then another caracter comes in yelling and there is more noise than actual screem, to later come bac to the caracter with the plane flying by.

also take out wierd sounds and production sfx from the production track.

the impressive part is that the shows after mixing sound amazing when they air.

i came from a music background and only have done dialog editing for these 4 shows which i already took u thorugh the process. can someone else care to share what else is involved in DIA editing for different tV and film.?
