Whether you’re comping a vocal track, restoring an old recording, working with dialogue or sound effects for film, or imposing your own vision with mash-ups or remixes, audio editing is a key skill to successful sound production. Digital Audio Editing gives you the techniques, from the simplest corrective editing like cutting, copying, and pasting to more complex creative editing, such as beat mapping and time-stretching. You’ll be able to avoid unnatural-sounding pitch correction and understand the potential pitfalls you face when restoring classic tracks. Author Simon Langford invites you to see editing with his wide-angle view, putting this skill into a broad context that will inform your choices even as you more skillfully manipulate sound. Focusing on techniques applicable to any digital audio workstation, it includes break-outs giving specific keystrokes and instruction in Avid’s Pro Tools, Apple’s Logic Pro, Steinberg’s Cubase, and PreSonus’s Studio One. The companion websites includes tutorials in all four software packages to help you immediately apply the broad skills from the book.
This book enables beginners and experienced users of audio editing software to quickly grasp the concepts and techniques used by Adobe Audition to produce audio soundtracks for any application. Along with detailed 'how to' procedures on multitrack recording, digital effects, editing and mastering, this book provides in depth information on the software itself from an established author who is a long term user of the software--from its origins as a shareware wave editor to its latest incarnation as a multitrack recording and editing suite. Adobe Audition is more than a tool for recording and creating jingles, events, effects and soundtracks for any situation--sound technicians and engineers regularly use it as a restoration and archiving tool for cleaning tape or vinyl recordings before remastering to CD or DVD. Adobe Audition is perfect for spoken word or highly sensitive recordings--you can even create sound effects, spooky noises and electronic drum sounds from scratch. And when you are ready to commit, use the detailed explanation of mastering and production techniques to ensure that your Adobe Audition creation sounds just as fresh away from your studio as it did the day you created it.
