The sound mixer has an important role in capturing the audio on set, which is predominantly dialogue, but also includes room noise and sound effects. They ensure that the radio and boom microphones are working properly, and the recorded audio is at a good level in every take. Although sound mixers work predominantly during production, they also have a role in pre-production, where they must collaborate with the director to discuss the best method of capturing sound. Before filming starts, they'll visit the locations to observe if there's any potential sound problems, like a nearby airport or road. If they observe an issue with sound during a take, sound mixers will communicate that to the director, who can decide whether to reshoot it or correct it in post-production.
