QC noob is more like it.

QC should NOT be an entry level position. If you can't think for yourself, you should be on the frier at the burger king.

The fact that some chuckleheads are willing to eliminate this from the chain in the file based world means we no longer will know, or be able to track down, any inconsistencies like those caused by the dub tech mentioned below.

I found out that the dub tech at the audio post facility was monitoring the DB edit master in composite and adjusting the machine to his scopes based on the bars when making the digital copy. He was in manual to do this, so this resulted in several IRE of difference on the copy (versus preset levels). The issue went away when I simply instructed him to leave the machine in preset when making the digital copy (aka "clone") and ignore what his composite scope said."
