Ben Burtt was a sound designer for Star Wars. He describes the three main jobs that work with audio, the production recorder, sound editor, and sound mixer. He talks about how he would do some of all three of the jobs that each role is supposed to do. He said that he’d gather the sound effects right after getting the script for the movie.
