| | Posted: | | | | Can anyone enlighten me what an Audio Supervisor is.
I got a no vote on the movie Feed (5410504071294) for removing an audio supervisor. This isn't listed in the allowed credits. I tried to look for a job description using google, but found nothing.
Production Sound Mixer, Sound Designer and Sound Re-Recording mixer credits are also present.
The no-voter said Audio Supervisor is a direct translation of Sound Supervisor. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

I can see where the 'no' voter is coming from as audio does mean sound, but I also see where you are coming from as 'Audio Supervisor' isn't in the list. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Well, my reasons for removal are the following:
1.
If you google for a job description of Audio Supervisor, you can't find any.
2.
There are 12 entries for Feed in the database, only 2 have the Audio supervisor credited. The dutch locality, which I'm trying to update. And the Belgian locality, which is a copy of the dutch locality.
3.
If you use google to search the invelos site for Audio Supervisor, you get no results. This means nobody ever contributed an Audio Supervisor before. Otherwise, I would find some contribution notes. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

Audio may refer to: Sound recording and reproduction The first thing that strikes me in this definition is the use of the word may. So Audio may refer to sound recording. When there are other sound credits that are preceded by sound [anything] I wouldn't add the audio credit. If that's the only sound credit I probably would add it though (explaining in the notes why). | | | | Cor |

| | Posted: | | | | Reasons provided were the following:
He is credited at the top of the sound post-production crew, directly above the sound designers and there isn't a separate sound supervisor credit.
There is a separate section for the foley credits (so this isn't a sound fx credit)
There is a separate music supervisor, so it doesn't mean that either. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

The no-voter said Audio Supervisor is a direct translation of Sound Supervisor. Another valid role name variant. The rules should be clarified that those role name variants are allowed as direct translations. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

Now I could be wrong, but those both appear to be in the English language. Therefore, a "direct translation" does not apply. Unless it is added to the crew table, it is not contributable (is that even a word????). | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | The Rule doesn't say anything about a direct translation from a foreign language, it simply says direct translation. Because different localities will use different terms for the same roles, until Ken says otherwise, I'd say that these can be contributed. |

Besides, it's already in the database. Removing it will be much more difficult than adding was. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

Unfortunately, you are correct. Removing something is more difficult, even when it should never have been added in the first place!  | | | | Hal |
