Audio mixing is a process during the post-production stage of a film or a television program by which a multitude of recorded sounds are combined into one or more channels. In the process, the source signals' level, frequency content, dynamics and panoramic position are commonly being manipulated and effects such as reverb might be added.

The process takes place in a studio (or a theater) once the final cut is produced. Normally the engineer will mix 4 main elements:

Speech (dialogue, ADR, Voice-Overs, etc.)

Ambience (or atmosphere)

Sound effects

Music

Well a composer will write the music, an orchestra will play it. Then the music editor will place and edit the movie into the film. The editting is usually done in the post production phases, the actual composing and recording of the music can be done while filming is taking place.
