If you need to expand beyond those four tracks within a scene, then go ahead. 2. If you have alts for certain lines, then please choose the one that sounds best to you and mute the others—but please let me have them. 3. If you use iZotope RX or any other noise- reduction software, then please also supply the untreated tracks. 4. Please check the guide track to see how it sounds so that I get the mic that sounds the best. Often, the lav sounds muffled, so please check if it was used or if a mix of boom and lav was used. I sometimes get the lav and it sounds bad, so I check the guide and end up using the AAF track. 5. If one character has a totally different sound on certain lines, then please put those lines on a separate track. If possible, please put different characters on different tracks. 6. If within a scene certain lines need to be treated differently from others, then please put those on a separate track. An example would be lines that need reverb because they are in someone's head or a flashback. 7. If someone is speaking on a mic in the scene, then please make sure they are on a separate track. I often get these in my futz tracks, but typically I will use their full sound and use reverb to put them on mic. I sometimes use a futzed sound delayed by a frame or two to simulate a speaker in the room on top of the straight sound. 8. As a rule, if there is something different about the sound or treatment of lines within a scene, then please make sure they are on separate tracks.
