Greg K. When mixing for Theatrical release the speakers are calibrated at 85 SPL in the front and 82 in the surrounds. When mixing for home it's anywhere between78 to 82 all the way around. See my link on "Room Calibration for Film and TV" here...
David, I agree with you. Nearly EVERY DVD Mastering guy has never ever mixed a Movie in his lifetime. People in mastering are remixing Movies the way "They" think they should sound. They are trying to be creative. How do they know how the movie was supposed to have sounded? There is a market...
Marti D. replies: lakshmant, Where are you located? Where is there a "DTS Mixing Stage" and where are they mixing Movies in Pro Tools at 192? It isn't done!!! I know, I have a Pro Tools Mix Stage (The Dub Stage) and you can't mix a movie at 192! Please let me know where this was and who was...

dr.sound replies: It really is a question of time and budget. Many do get remixed, but most don't. What is inportant is if it is remixed or rebalanced for DVD the Re-Recording Mixer who originally mixed the Film should either do it or at least overseee it. This many times...
Bobby T. In Feature Sound Mixing the mains get most of the work. The LFE does get some things sent to it but not constantly. Hope that answers your question.
Alex, Bass speakers and subwoofers are two different things. Subwoofers are put at the floor typically in the center of the screen. Bass bins are always directly below the mids and horns in a 3 way system. They are NOT put to the sides!. A Stewart Screen (Which most people in Hollywood mix with...
You are absolutely wrong on this!!! You start cutting everything below 150hz and it will sound like hell!! See my room : www.thedubstage.com No one I know cuts 150hz and below off their speakers on a perf screen with speakers behind it. I would suggest your make sure your screen is tight .
Lance, You're two responses from THX are correct. As for Gary W. I worked with him back in 1892 on one of his Surround projects. He is SOOOOO into surround. He has made a good living telling everyone his desire for 7.1, 8.1 , 10.2 etc. . He obviously doesn't know the Post Sound business. i...
Marti D. replies, Brent V, Having carefully mixed the Movie that you describe as "No contrast, no dynamics" and” the BG's were way to low" makes me curious on where you saw the movie. I am a 26 year veteran Re-Recording Mixer who definitely uses dynamics. I am surprised by a comment...
Thanks for the link of the review of Pro Logic II. I just want to let those of you out there know that Pro Logic II came out in home recievers LONG before it was released to those of who mix the movies. Dolby just released a professional encoder/decoder for us to use when we mix. Nearly all the...
Guys, Go to the my homepage and click under "Facility". The front wall is 3 identical JBL 3362 Triamped and a Dual 18 Subwoofer JBL 4642A The 6 Surround speakers are JBL 3310 This is typical to the rooms who mix your Movie soundtracks. Hope this answers some questions. You can...
