POST OCTOBER 2014
A great mix doesn't draw
attention to itself. It's integral
to the fi lm and not a thing on
its own."
— Andy Koyama
If you can really believe
that you're in that location
with those characters,
going on that ride, then the

— Beau Borders
Dynamics and articulation.
One of the things you learn is
that everything can't be loud
all the time. The other thing
is picking your moments,
articulating things, making
things stand out."
— Tom Myers
It's the ebb and fl ow. I don't like an
onslaught of sound. I enjoy a soundtrack that's
part of the whole fi lm experience and I'm not
pulled out by something. I want to be involved
and absorbed into the screen."
— Daniel Leahy
The hero is the dialogue. Every syllable is
as important as the one after. You never want to
have the viewer taken out of the movie by not
understanding the dialogue."
— Lee Dichter
