What is a temp track, what is 'temp love', and what does a music editor actually do from temp dub to cue sheet?
Two music editors describe the same sequence: a temp dub of existing music for previews (no licensing needed), a spotting session with director/editor/composer, cue-by-cue notes with IN/OUT points and director comments, scoring, stems for the final dub, and a music cue sheet listing every cue. Carlson (about forty years in the business) defines 'temp love' as the director or producer falling in love with what they first heard and not wanting it changed. The union page read only lists 'Music Editor' as a classification; the role descriptions come from the two practitioner interviews, one on a single film (The Greatest Showman) and one about a career.
