ATMOS – TV – film – radio -  audio

Background, or atmospheric sound that is only just audible on a TV, film (or radio) location. Atmos is recorded at the place of the action by the SOUND RECORDIST, usually for one minute when everyone must keep silent. Used in editing to help make the audio joins smoother.  see AMBIENT SOUND, BUZZTRACK, SOUND DUB.
