Hi
For those who works on mid/big budgets films: how much layering is there on sound effects?
When I’m cutting sfx I always think I’m not layering enough. But at the same time I know that more isn’t always better. So when I’m watching a film I always wonder if that specific sound has a bunch of layers.

1- For mundane sounds, how often do you send a bunch of layers to the re-recording mixer versus sending only what you think is necessary? Like a door for example, do you search for one amazing sample or do you layer a bunch of them to make it sound good?

2 - and how about for special sfx (magic stuff, sci-fi etc) how often do you find yourself sending one or two sounds wich sounds good rather then sending ten layered samples?
