Topic: Post-processing, mixing, and mastering w SBD feed

Happy Friday!

Curious as to what folks are up to in post when recording ambient sources plus a line or SBD feed.
Post-processing?
How do you mix it?
Any mastering effects?

Inquiring mind wants to know...

if they were recorded on a single recorder, it's fairly straight forward.  Normalize each source individually, then align tracks by zooming in to match the start times to account for the speed of sound, then listen, adjusting the balance between soundboard and audience mics til you like the result.  Listen to any edits using as many different playback methods as possible so you can make sure the results sound good everywhere.

QFT.  Also make sure you've got your sources mapped correctly (i.e., channel 1 of the ambient source is the same as channel 1 of the board feed).
