Mixing for your target audience

I read somewhere recently that it is good to listen to the mix at various levels, so as to provide a balanced mix that sounds good at low, medium, and high levels.

When a movie is made, and there is an accompanying soundtrack of music, is this music produced differently than if it was strictly for audio release? Are there studios out there that specialize in working on music intended for film scores?

Although I have read about the difference between the two, I am still struggling. I do know that limiters have higher compression ratios, but could that be all there is to know? If I had a clear example of two situations, one where compression was the right tool, and the other where a limiter was, I might be able to find my way out of the dark.

Whats up recording.org,

Hi! Recently upgraded to Cubase 5 and now have Melodyne.

But Melodyne and Cubase won't sync on playback. Xfer to Melodyne via the Bridge in Cubase seems no problem - great quality, low CPU load, multiple tracks sync together. But they are all out of sync upon playback.

Even if I do no editing at all in Melodyne, they just won't play back in sync.

How is G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome) effecting the pro audio industry?

My mix sounds good, but is a bit wide. Yes, I could fiddle and pull each track more towards the center, but I understand there are plugins like the S1 that can pull the mix to the center, i.e., folding everything in proportion, right down to mono if need be. I need a plugin like this, but on a budget.

Are there any other options out there?
