OVERNIGHT · 30th June 2009

Having an awful issue prepping a film for Dolby mix. The studio we mixed in is not the same as the soundstage we're doing the final Dolby session in. We've spotted the film after the mix and everything looks good. There's three of us and we're not idiots. We dump the mix to stems and wierdness ensues. Sounds are starting early mostly... as though the left edge of certain regions are getting dragged out. Seems like it's mostly regions that had very slight fade ins, like they're suddenly 3 seconds long or something. What's also strange is that when we get to the soundstage the mix is as much as 3 frames off on certain reels. Not drift just a straight frames off picture. That's easily enough corrected but the random in/out of sounds is clearly not workable and a real serious problem with he Dolby dude sitting here to the tune of $600/hr.

A few facts... The session was mixed on PT 7 LE mostly, largely touched up on a PT HD 7 rig and the soundstage is on PT 8 HD. But I don't think that's the issue... it's getting spit out of the PT 7 Rig F'd up IMO. Does anyone know of a bug and what in gods name to do about it?
