Tron SFX Mix

Based on the video, I've learned that the before sound effects mix only includes what was recorded during production, whereas a sound effects mix adds a desired effect to every object, and a final mix puts it all together. When comparing the scenes from Tron before they were given sound effects, all of them felt empty as there was only diegetic sound coming from the dialogue of characters. After a sound effects mix had been added, the voices sounded redesigned and auto-tuned, which fit the theme of the movie. I also noticed that a room tone was added to each scene, which allowed it to feel more complete, something that's done using a sound bed in post. Perhaps the most obvious difference with a sound effects mix was the specialty sounds used to convey each mechanism and moving object. These specialty sounds were also present in the final mix, only tweaked a little bit to sound even clearer and with more depth. In general, the final mix expanded on the sound effects mix by including all the other sounds like music and dialogue, which overall enhanced the sound effects and evoked the emotional tone of each scene.
