In Episode 342 of the Tonebenders Sound Design Podcast, host Timothy Muirhead dives into the nuanced sound world of Nuremberg, a film that might, at first glance, seem like a straightforward courtroom drama, but reveals itself to be surprisingly deep and complex in its audio demands. 

The episode features a candid conversation with Ulrika Akander, Dialog/ADR Supervisor, and Michael Babcock, Re-Recording Mixer, Sound Designer, and Supervising Sound Editor. Together, they unpack the thoughtful approach the team took to audio post-production on a film where clarity, historical texture, and focus were paramount.

A fascinating part of the talk centers on the team’s use of what they call a “rolling premix”, an approach that spreads the sound mix over a longer timeline with a small crew, giving them room to refine and iterate with precision. Beyond this, they also discuss their approach to dial cleaning, historic footage, ADR recording and using audio to focus the audience's attention.
