In the Most Recent CAS Quarterly: The Vital Role of ADR and Dialogue Mixing

ADR and dialogue mixing are crucial parts of the post-production process, where the best work often goes unnoticed. Over the years, this process has evolved dramatically—from handling noisier locations and CGI-created environments to dubbing entire languages. In our latest issue, Brandon Schuster CAS sat down with Mark DeSimone CAS, and Paul Zahnley CAS to discuss how ADR is integrated into a mix, whether blending new dialogue with production audio or adapting content for language localization.

It’s a must-read for anyone interested in the artistry behind ADR and dialogue mixing!
