Dialogue editing duties

I was just wondering if most dialogue editors also edit the PFX??
I have a client telling me that editing the PFX is part my job. But I was hired to do a dialogue edit. If they had hired me for fx and backgrounds, then I’d take care of that. I know it’s ultimately up to me to say what I will and will not edit. I was just wondering.

how do you deal with revisions? (discussion)

Lately, for the past 3-4 projects I am really having some trouble with directors.
They are sending me endless revisions and I can't see the end of it for months.
it's like; let's move the piano chord 0.5 milliseconds ahead, and the next revision is "let's just leave how it was before" then the next one is "oh, let's re-do this part completely" and then "oh, i guess the last one was better let's do it again but make it more blue" i mean what the hell is this?

I was thinking at the beginning that just that specific director is acting like that, but then the another one and the other one.
How do you deal with directors and projects? How do you restrict the revisions? I mean, i just want to be clear I am totally not against it! It's just that there is no end of anything if there is going to be this endless revisions

Still on RX 9 Advanced, saw the underwhelming upgrade to RX 12, not to mention the state of NI and Izotope, anyone switched to Spectralayers?

Just trying the demo, bit of a learning curve, anyone done the change?

Hello everyone!
So i'm probably not the only one a bit dissapointed about the new Rx 12 release. I'm personally on Rx9 advanced and will probably switch to Acoustica when that stops being supported by the OS´s that comes in the future.
Anyhow, i was very confused about the new scene rebalance module. The demonstration video was really confusing to me, since how they used it were implying that they worked on the master file only and not in a Pro tools session. I don't know a situation were you need to adjust the mix of dialoge music or fx, in a single master file. Wouldn't you always have access to the full session if those adjustments are needed? I just don't see the use case for it but would be interested in hearing if any of y'all can think of something!

And also 770 USD for upgrading is absurd... like what the actual fuck hahahah

I went on the avid forum today and got this instead. Look's like their website is broken, it's showing a bunch of files and folders. Anyone else experiencing this?

Also I think its funny to see "images" and "imagesNEW" as a folder name lol
