Hello all,
Recently had a short film mixed in 5.1. All went well except for one line that is horrible. It was a bad mic that we had in mix (didn't have time to go back and search through source files for a better one - I'm operating on very low budget and we were already hours over) so ended up using it. But it basically drops off quite a bit compared to all other lines of dialogue in the scene.
Here's the issue. Out of money, so I can't go back and reedit that in, change in mix and reexport the 5.1 tracks as that's already been done.
Is there ANY way, I can do this myself? I have access to all source files, original offline edits. So I can easily find the better take (if one exists). But my question would be what's the best way to slip that dialogue into the 5.1 mix that already exists? Is it as easy as just dropping it over into the timeline in Premiere (what I'm editing on) and matching as best as possible to existing dialogue? Or should I be running it through Pro Tools or Adobe Audition and exporting with particular settings? But again, I'm sure I'd have to layer it over in Premiere since I don't have access to the original ProTools workflow from the mixer.
I'm fairly green when it comes to audio mixing and so forth so hopefully something like this is doable. Again it's pretty short line so hopefully there's a quick fix to this.
Thanks in advance.
