For a first dubbing handoff, what exactly goes into the Netflix premix dialogue WAV and the dialog editorial session, what stays out, and how are M&E and dialogue kept apart?
Two dialogue-only deliverables are defined: (1) a mono premix dialogue WAV for QC, an offline bounce of the whole picture length with group walla attenuated 10 dB and a -6 dB true-peak limiter on the dialog tracks or bounce bus; (2) a dialog editorial session of raw, untreated, synced dialogue, one track per character, zipped store-only, uploaded only after the premix passes QC and arbitration and mostly needed for centralized mixing. The M&E is not a studio deliverable in these articles: Netflix provides it, the studio listens to it while recording (do not re-record reactions already in it), and the mixer leaves it unaltered. The premix article never says whether M&E is summed into the premix bounce; "dialogue units" suggests not, which is an inference. Stems named: the OV dialogue stem (reference only) and the 5.1 dialogue pre-dub for extended versions.
