Hahah. Not massively, I've used loops here and there on certain stuff (it often works well on generally confusing-to-the-ear loud noises; if anything, that to me is *more* convincing than using it in quiet sections, because the absence of chaotic noise makes it very easy to discern). But I'm also really picky and obsessive, so...
A big part of my general ethos is cutting into the PCM as little as possible and still having it work. The absolute dream resync in that respect was probably A GOOFY MOVIE: it's basically in sync with the Blu-ray so I could literally just figure out a carefully chosen offset and align it, then not cut into it at all apart from things like fades in and out at start / end / side change! But that's rarely possible of course.
Mostly though the reason I want to figure this out in some way is for THE EXORCIST, and to a lesser extent ERASERHEAD. I'd like to re-record both before I start the proper full-on editing stuff because I don't want to redo it all after I decide that actually I'm not happy with the recordings. Which I think I basically already have decided.
