Sound editors are responsible for handling the dialogue, sound effects, ADR, foley effects, and music. Simply put, the sound editor decides what you hear in the movies. They aren’t concerned with how they should sound but only what they would like on their own. This process happens before the post-production stage of audio mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound editing requires more than one person, depending on the scale of the project. One person may be dedicated to finding sounds from libraries. One might be in charge of recording certain sounds. The lead sound editor is in charge of the sound design for the film, and they assign roles as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
