Not in the rules as acceptable then NO.

Thanks, just checking.

Definitely enter them! These absolutely are, without even so much as a shadow of a doubt, the re-recording mixers we're after. Of course, if you're just collecting data for the sake of collecting data, and you really don't care about who you enter, you could decide otherwise. But if you're remotely interested in accurate data in this crew segment, then they belong there.

They may be the re-recording mixers you are after, but they are not the re-recording mixers that are allowed by the rules.  Until they are, they can't be entered...at least not if you are following the rules.

And for Ken: to you really should add "supervising sound mixer" to the crew chart. This job description is used more and more in recent films, and though luckily about 98% of the userbase correctly enters them without giving it another thought, it would be good to be able to put an end to these misleading threads.

I don't know where you get this 98% number, but it isn't correct...at least not in my experience.  Most of the contributions, I am re-auditing, don't include the supervising sound mixers.  Instead, they include the people that are credited as Sound Mixer.

The OP asked a question.  Per the rules, which we are all supposed to follow, the answer is 'No'...and a 'strict reading of the rules' isn't even required to come to that answer.

Anything other than that is personal preference and opinion, which is fine, but I didn't answer based on that.

Or, paraphrasing, it's tracking the people we're supposed to track, under the job they're doing.

These people are the re-recording mixers on this film. You may enjoy finding a loophole that you feel "allows" you to drop these valuable and valid credits, but they still are the re-recording mixers on this film. Again: I can see how people who just collect data for the sake of collecting don't care about this, but to those that actually care about this particular bit of data, your point of view is sheer lunacy. They are the re-recording mixers on this film, and they belong in the profile. Again, this is no different to how we deal with something like the "Original Material By" credit. By your reasoning, literally EVERY use of that credit would be "personal preference and opinion", wouldn't it? Yet most of do understand how to properly use it, yet like most of us know how to treat "supervising sound mixer" credits.

It's sad, really. If only people would be willing to spend as much effort on trying to get good and accurate data into the database, instead of merely trying to find ways to keep good data out...

They cannot be entered under the current Rules any more than Supervising Producers!

Which, indeed, is a similar oversight.

I wonder why I don't get that same consideration when it comes to Studio data...

As to the rest, on a personal level I agree with you, but I am not speaking on a personal level.  The rules are quite clear.

I agree with Unicus and Hal. They cannot - at this time - be entered.

T!M's personal preference should be ignored in this instance, as in many others...
