Abstract

An original film or video sound track and a translation of this sound track into another language are separately recorded and a predetermined positioning timewise relative to the original sound track introduced to the output of the translation to make for best clarity and understanding of the two audio outputs when they are superimposed. The audio levels of the original sound track output and the translation are then set to predesired levels and combined with each other. The combined signal is then fed to an audio compressor which is triggered by an attack signal generated by a second recording of the translation which is advanced in time by 0.5-2.0 seconds relative to the first translation recording. The combined original and translation audio signal is thus ramped down to a lower level a predetermined time period before and during the time the translation audio is present, the sound track level being restored to its original audio level a predetermined time period after the translation audio has stopped. The combined audio signal is then recorded for use as the video or film sound track.
