Any Audio Editors?

Just wondering if there is any audio editors in Cincinnati or around these parts that would like to take a crack at editing the audio on my documentary? I am desperate and down to two months before my premiere and I just can't seem to get it right. I am just a beginner when it comes to audio and I am just lost as lost can be. I have all the narration laid in, all the music, sound effects, etc..I just need someone to help me figure out the volume levels, what plug ins to use, to beef it up and just to make it sound great. Please I am really worried about not getting this right. Sorry, don't mean to sound so desperate but I am, lol.

More details about your project please.

Length, Number of tracks, Number of audio clips, etc. Can your project be exported or is it necessary for the audio editor to come to you?

The length of the film is around 1 Hour and 3 minutes, number of audio clips is 300 with 9 tracks of audio. It is not necessary for the editor to be here just as long as we can figure everything out. Thanks.

Getting it right is impossible. Getting it useful is doable.

If you have access to a similar documentary you can look at the levels to determine if you are in the neighborhood.

Doing your final mix is a matter of first getting it to sound the way you wish everyone could here it. You then do final steps that compensate for the potential deficiencies of the system on which it will be heard. Without having someone else do it for you that is the best advice I can give.
