You want a gunshot, and you want it coming out of THAT speaker. You want the car to pass from HERE to THERE. The mixers are going to make it sound right in the room. So long as your speakers don't make cats sound like dogs and gunshots sound like pom-poms, you're probably going to be alright.


Well that might apply for most sound effects but things get way more critical when editing dialogue. You want to judge correctly for the right and wrong channels/takes. What seems to be matching fairly ok in a modest listening environment can literally fall apart on stage or better speaker systems. And thats not just theory. I've heard things dude!
