What actually happens after spotting?
The real job of audio post has now begun. In the next weeks or months, the sound editors will locate and synchronize all of the sound effects needed in the film. If necessary, they will create Field Recordings of new sound effects needed for the film. The Foley supervisor will cue all of the Foley effects that will be needed; they will be recorded by the Foley Mixer and the Foley Walkers; the ADR supervisor will cue all of the Automated Dialogue Replacement lines that need to be recorded during the ADR sessions, and the Music Editor will begin providing for the needs of the Composer and/or music supervisor. The Dialogue editor(s) will begin preparing the production audio for final mixing, and the ADR editors can commence editing in the ADR lines, once they have been recorded.
