What does REDUB mean in Scrabble?
verb
To dub a film, video, or audio recording again, replacing an earlier soundtrack or voice track.
Redub belongs to the world of film and television production, where studios sometimes need to redub a scene because of poor sound quality, a change in language, or a replaced actor voice. Streaming services often redub older shows to release them with updated translations or improved audio quality for new markets. Unlike simple re-editing, a redub focuses specifically on the sound layer rather than the picture itself.
