With action films, youвЂ™re not only producing the sounds of explosions or car chases, youвЂ™re also mixing those to an acceptable level where they are not too overbearing and so the audience can still enjoy whatever else is going on in the scene. These types of films require developing more sounds to be added, or in the case of animated films, all the sounds need to be developed on a sound stage. Most years you will see more action, war, or animated films being nominated in these categories and thereвЂ™s a reason for that. Sound Mixing, by contrast, refers to the way that sounds are вЂњmixedвЂќ or layered upon each other. Sound Editing is the creation and recording of new sounds, and the work that goes into cleaning up and perfecting individual sound elements. HereвЂ™s how a fellow blogger ( ) sets the differences: And with the overlap in both categories most years, many people just begin to assume that they must be basically the same thing. Also, it is by the grace of the mixers that we can even hear dialogue coupled with score and sound effects. Since more often than not, the composerвЂ™s score or the dialogue ring much more clearer in our minds while watching a film, we usually do not take the time to even acknowledge that many of the sounds we are hearing are not even apart of the film until added. Re-recording Mixer вЂ“ John W.Instead of going into detail on each film and their chances (or lack thereof) as far as the sound goes, I thought it would be more beneficial to broach the topic of what the differences are between the Best Sound Editing category and Best Sound Mixing category, since I have to refresh my own memory most years when the Oscars roll around.
