- Re-recording Mixer
- Post mixer who balances dialog, music, and effects stems to deliverable: 5.1, 7.1, Atmos. The credit you want for "the mix sounds great."
- Sound Designer
- Creates the non-dialog, non-music sonic content — Foley supervised, ambience built, weapons / vehicles / creatures designed. Often blurs into supervising sound editor.
- Foley Artist

- Final mix delivery formats. Atmos adds height channels and object-based panning over a 7.1.2 / 9.1.4 bed.
- ADR
