I was a, what the heck was I? Sound Re-recordist I think is what it was called. I sat in the back room during the sound mix and made sure all the tracks and recorders were doing what they were supposed to be doing.
It was a little wierd, they brought in their own mixers--hot shots from Skywalker--Randy Thom and Bob Edwards. Alas, Randy wasn't that fond of me.
They were doing cuttin edge stuff--they had a Mac with a 1 gigabyte (Wow!) magneto-optical drive. I don't remember exactly how it was hooked in--I think it was just a sound library that they could lay stuff off if they needed it.
I worked on lots of movies you probably haven't heard of (or wanted to hear of). Exceptions: The Freshman, True Believer, the Equalizer (TV) and a couple of PBS American Experience. I did work on Toxic Avenger 3--the first Troma movie to be done on the day shift. All previous ones were done on the night shift for lower $$$.
Errol has/had an occasional column in the NYTimes if'n yr interested. About doc/realism stuff.
In about 4 years, I received exactly one credit--and it got cut off when they put it on TV. Another Phillip Glass work, Anima Mundi.
