    34 - The Sound of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

    In this episode of SoundStart, Stephen sits down with members of the sound team behind Ready or Not 2: re-recording mixers Andrew Tay and Scott Hitchon, and supervising dialogue editor Mark Dejczak. The conversation explores how the team approached the sound of a fast, chaotic horror-comedy where there are almost no simple “talking heads” scenes. They discuss rescuing production dialogue, cutting around overlapping breaths and reactions, preserving production effects, blending Foley with real set sounds, and building ADR that feels seamless. They also dive into the film’s bigger sound moments, including the opening sequence, the ballroom fight, the industrial washing machine kill, the use of loop group, gore effects, Dolby Atmos mixing, and the pros and cons of working in large Pro Tools super sessions vs reels. A generous, technical and very practical conversation for anyone interested in dialogue editing, sound design, Foley, re-recording mixing and the realities of modern feature film sound post. Key topics covered: Dialogue editing in fast, chaotic action scenesWhy production effects matterBlending Foley with production soundADR for performance, breaths and reactionsLoop group for crowds and world-buildingCutting and mixing gore soundsDolby Atmos for movement, chaos and perspectiveMixing reel-by-reel versus super sessionsWorking with directors and picture editors on the dub stageWhy monitoring format matters when giving notes
