Very late to the party on this one responding as one of the podcast members, but I wanted to clarify that my frustration with ISOs and the amount of sorting through tracks while editing stems from ever-shortening schedules and budgets while having to accommodate more variables to deliver as pristine a track as possible to the mix stage. I know all departments have their own unique frustrations. I have nothing but respect for PSMs and their challenges - a thankless job so much of the time and one I wouldn't have the stamina to take on. The amount of ADR that has been reduced by the amount of ISO coverage is outstanding and the reasoning behind ISO coverage is understood. Definitely worth further discussion between PSMs, editors and re-recording mixers in general and on individual shows where it's possible to understand everyone's workflow, challenges, expectations and how best to accommodate.
