Summary of Sidney Lumet's Making Movies

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The mixing room is where the sound tracks are assembled to make the final sound track of the movie. It is a job that can be left to sound technicians, but that has its dangers. For example, mixers can raise the audio level of a quiet scene or moment and lower the audio level of a loud scene or moment.

#2 The process of looping is when an actor recreates a performance, and it can be done by some actors who are good at it. Scenes of violence, car crashes, and battles can use all sixty-four tracks on the board or even more.

#3 The Dolby process simply took all the tapes and suppressed them so that the tape hiss was lost in the upper frequencies. Soon, in movies, because of the equalization problems between Dolby-recorded music and non-Dolby sound recordings, we had to start using Dolby on dialogue.

#4 The one pleasure in a mix comes when the music is added. The tedious effort seems worth it. The music pumps life back into the picture.
