| The best advice so far is to find a free-lance sound editor/mixer with a client base and bring them in and listen to what he or she says. The studio setup and attitudes are bit different in post--for one thing your "music rooms" won't help you much and you need a CR than can accomodate several people. The rule is generally that the higher the budget, the more people at the mix. You need to deal with surround and video and file transfer issues immediately, and today all of those are big barrels of worms. Your ears and aesthetics will help you a lot, but there is a lot of niggling detail stuff that is exclusive to post that you have to master before you do any real jobs. Next best advice: read ALL of Georgia's stickies at the top of this forum if you haven't already.
