C A S Q U A R T E R L Y I FA L L 2 0 2 0 47 stated that she did all her notes with the stereo folddown, but then listened again to the full Atmos mix to make sure nothing had been disrupted while doing the notes. David added that he made sure the stereo was LoRo not LtRt. David, you mentioned ADR and that you use iZotope RX8 and Dialogue Match. You said you found a couple of other plugins that were useful, what are they? DF: There's one called Absentia DX by Todd-AO that is really good for hum removals. I also use an older program called DUY Magic Spectrum which helps match EQ. I use a combination of different things, including RX, Cedar, and Waves' WNS. You have to be very careful not to overuse them. Corporations tend to push back against people working at home for a variety of reasons, but the COVID world has shown that that's not required. We've been pushed into this remote workflow. Do you see anything from this experience over the last seven months carrying forward, like having more time for your pass on the mix? DF: It's inevitable we are going to see some sort of hybrid version of this going forward. I used to think that working from home would give me all kind of distractions, but it actually turned out to be really great. Editors have been doing this for a long time. WF: We will get a lot more work done in home studios, but I don't see the dub stages going away. I think a lot of producers are going to want to continue to stream stuff even when this is all over. MF: I don't see the stages going away because very few people have the equipment necessary at home to do all the deliverables. KU: I have a lot more privacy with me and my mix partner to finish our first pass, so our notes have gone down by 60 percent or 70 percent. WF: There are less notes for the sake of giving a note now as people's priorities have shifted.
