Dialogue Editor: Cleans up background noise, cuts around pops and clicks, and ensures the original on-set dialogue is crisp, intelligible, and consistent across shots.
ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) Mixer/Editor: Re-records actors in a studio setting when location sound is unusable or needs performance adjustments, matching it seamlessly to screen.
Sound Designer & Sound Effects (SFX) Editor: Creates or sources specialized sound effects, background atmospheres, and creative audio elements (e.g., sci-fi sounds, impacts, vehicle revs).
Foley Artist & Engineer: Performs and records organic, real-time sound effects on specialized recording stages—such as footsteps, clothing rustles, key jingles, or cup clinks—to add natural texture.
Re-Recording / Final Mix Engineer: Takes every audio element (dialogue, ADR, Foley, sound effects, and musical score) and mixes them together. They balance levels, apply spatial audio or surround sound panning, and output final master stems (Dialogue, Music, and Effects / M&E) to meet delivery specifications.
