Music and effects track. When a film is dubbed and its component sound tracks are properly blended into a final track, it is often convenient to dub a separate track which contains all these elements except the dialogue. If a foreign version of the film is later made, it is then not necessary to have recourse to all the original tracks, but only to the M & E track. 1, record 3, English, - music%20and%20effects%20track
