The provided libdb.mysql database schema contains a number of predefined
role types, mostly from the film industry. Whilst most of them contain
descriptions of what they actually entail, some are still missing.
Those that are missing should be completed.

What is Audio Post-Production?  
----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Audio Post-Production is the process of creating the soundtrack for a
visual program of some kind. Ever since silent movies began to talk,
filmmakers have been looking to control and improve the quality of the
sound of their creation. As soon as creators realized there was a way
to control and enhance the sound of their pictures, Audio Post was
born, and has been a fact of life ever since. In Television, audio was
originally "live", like the visual program it was part of. As TV
evolved, and the art form grew to include "videotaped" and "filmed"
programming, the need for Audio Post increased. Nowadays, it would be
difficult to find any feature film or television show that hasn't been
through audio post.   
  
What is involved in Audio Post ?   
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Audio Post usually consists of several processes. Each different
project may need some, or all of these processes in order to be
complete. The processes are:   
Production Dialogue Editing  
ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement - if needed)  
Sound Effects Editing and Design  
Foley Recording (human sound effects recorded in sync with picture)  
Music Composition and Music Editing  
Mixing (also called re-recording)

From filmmusicmag:

3. What is an engineer (aka "scoring mixer") -

A scoring mixer, also known as an engineer, works during the recording
sessions to record and mix the music. The engineer is the primary
technical resource at recording sessions, and oversees all technical
aspects of the recording sessions.

Scoring mixers work closely with composers and songwriters to make sure
the recording process happens successfully, whether in a commercial
studio or at a home project studio.

Scoring mixers can also be a great source of technical information for
composers and songwriters, providing up-to-date information about how
current technology is used.

Regarding Orchestra Contractors:
From John Hopkin's Magazine:

It is the contractor's job to hire the musicians, handle the payroll,
and see to it that everyone abides by the union work rules.
