Oh and I should probably add, the way I was taught dialogue editing, you never technically delete/remove anything from the session. You just move it to a different set of tracks. Even things like the lip smacks and off camera noises, etc.. I was always taught to put them on "X" tracks at the bottom of the session... because inevitably the one sound you delete because you think it is insignificant will ALWAYS be the one sound the director is looking for and/or missing when watching the mix on the dub stage. HAHAHA...

So you put it on tracks that are muted or inactive, and it's there (still in sync) for the mixer to turn on in a second and continue mixing.

"We were working on Raiders [of the Lost Ark]. He [Ben Burt] told me that the sound source for opening the lid of the ark in the last reel was within 20'. I couldn't figure it out. It turned out to be lifting the back off the toilet above the water chamber, and slowing it down." -Tomlinson Holman
