Sound editing and mixing for film and television is a discipline distinct from music, with its own codes and skill set.
The crafts of sound for picture
The dialogue editor, who cleans and syncs voices captured on set. The foley artist, who recreates sound effects (footsteps, textures, objects) in the studio. The final mixer, who balances dialogue, music, and effects for 5.1 or stereo broadcast.
An active sector in Quebec
With a flourishing film and television industry, Montreal offers fertile ground for graduates interested in audiovisual post-production, notably through the city's renowned dubbing and finishing houses.
The transition from music
Several skills learned in music mixing at Musitechnic — spectrum management, dynamics, spatialization — transfer directly to mixing for picture, with a few adjustments related to broadcast delivery standards.
