ABSTRACT
Sound editors are artists who use audio to enhance the audience's emotional experience of the film. Ever since the invention of talkies, as the early sound films were called, filmmakers have experimented with better ways to deliver better quality audio to their audience. Smartphones include, among their many apps, an audio recorder, sometimes designated as Voice Memo. Editors can tailor temp effects to a particular scene simply by recording them on their phones. The set's neutral ambience, usually recorded at the beginning or end of the shoot, is roomtone. It supplies the necessary audio fill for spots where the background sound would otherwise drop out, such as in MOS or ADR situations. The sound editor pulls the region out or shrinks it according to the sync needs. Instead of the current 48 kHz audio sampling rate, try sampling at twice the rate (96 kHz) when recording ADR.
