really struggling on the rationale in this one! its the first time in 20 years I ever been asked to mix sync sound and VO together in mono - and they dot want seperate either?!!
this is a history channel spec sheet I just got given...
Channel 1 Full Mix; Stereo Left
Channel 2 Full Mix; Stereo Right
Channel 3 M&E; Stereo Left (no dialogue, no VO/narration)
Channel 4 M&E; Stereo Right (no dialogue, no VO/narration)
channel 5 VO/Narration and interview/location dialogues;
channel 6 Mono Effects and Ambience/B-roll Audio; Mono
channel 7 Stereo Music & Effects & Dialogue Left (no VO/narration)
Channel 8 Stereo Music & Effects & Dialogue Right (no VO/narration)
channel 9 Stereo Music Left (undipped with clean fades)
channel 10 Stereo Music Right (undipped with clean fades)
if I got sent this to reversion - I think I would be upset! The M+E is basically useless? not an effect driven show,, and they want nat sound mixed with the VO?
I guess ch 7/8 is that one ?
actually the few SFX that are in - are stereo..
way prefer have 3 seperate D M E to do a reversion..
of course the spec sheet didnt appear til after I had basically mixed the show..
