final mix
Last sound version
The final mix is the last stage of audio production where all recorded elements—dialogue, music, sound effects, ambient sound—are balanced and blended into a finished soundtrack.
In film and music, this version becomes the master from which all copies derive.
We spent three days on the final mix before the album was ready.
