Dubbing and its Relation to Sound Picture Production

George Lewin

Dubbing is essentially a re-recording process and has three important applications. The first is the re-recording of a completed feature from one form to another, as from film to disk, for release purposes. The second is the re-recording of the dialog, for the purpose of mixing in with it, sound effects or incidental music which, for technical or economic reasons, could not have been put in during the original recording. The third application is the synchronizing of foreign voices to a picture which was originally recorded in English. This last is a “doubling” rather than a dubbing process.
