Lulu- It's great to see how it all works I had a fair idea but I never new the name "Wild take" and "Worldising" was I new it was a part of the process but it's good to know the terminology for professional context. I didn't Know the terminology for Anamatic Tim and I have used this a lot in out project but never new the word for it. 

I didn't know what a Nagra was, old school gear is good to know if we ever need to record / mix on set for a shoot!

I have done a lot of the dubbing stages in prior work so I feel like i'm down with all of that process.
