Using sound that already exists, rather than creating an original score within a film. The ‘Needledrop’ is used when producers want music to add a theme to a scene, and for the audience to associate the music with the mood of the scene.

The New York Times (nytimes.com) – ‘sound editing is about collecting the sounds needed for a film. Sound mixing refers to what is done after they are collected’

It is left to the sound editors to put in other noise to complement the spoken words. This could be ambient sound, like an air-conditioner or the approach of a distant train. In the case of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” this would mean the sound of Luke’s lightsaber in conjunction with the rustle of trees on Ahch-To, among many other sounds.

Sound mixing then refers to the postproduction after sounds are already inserted. The most essential goal is to meld the sounds seamlessly with the recorded dialogue. It could mean making that train actually seem distant or adding reverb to a bird’s squawk to create tension in a scene. It also includes matching the audio levels of dialogue recorded at different times.

Sound Editor: A sound editor is a creative professional responsible for selecting and assembling sound recordings in preparation for the final sound mixing or mastering of a television program, motion picture, video game, or any production involving recorded or synthetic sound.

Sound Mixer: Leading the process of capturing audio on set and location is the production sound mixer, an audio engineer who oversees the production audio crew, mixes and balances the audio as it is recorded, and works to identify and solve the many problems that arise in this field: background noise, echo, distortion, and flubbed.
