Fair warning, I don’t want this post to come across as just another mixer rant… and I’ll do my best to keep things civil. I’ve been keeping track of a few bad habits I see in editorial that drive me a bit batty on the mix stage. So in an effort to “being the change I want to see in the world, I’m going to share them with you. Hopefully this will result in less of these nits to pick going forward and, as a bonus, its free therapy for me!
We have dozens of blog posts on how you can level up your sound editorial game. This post is intended to go beyond the basics - making sure you color code you work, cut for perspective, etc. This isn't about missing deadlines or forgetting to clean up markers in your session before turning in your work. These are mistakes that even seasoned sound editors make all the time. Avoiding these seemingly small mistakes could make a big difference in how you are perceived by your supervisors and those mixing your work.
