Not for the beginner teach-yourself learnerBy Connie (She who hikes with dogs)If you already have a basic understanding of digital audio editing and work with digital equipment; this may be a good book. It covers all the areas audio editors need to know with todays digital equipment. Topics covered include:Corrective editing; cutting copying; pasting and movingFades and cross-fadesLevel controlTonal matchingComping and alternate takesMulti-track compingTransient DetectionCreative editing: beat-mapping and recyclingdrum replacementtime-stretchingElastic audiopitch-shiftingRestorative Editing: third dimensionSpectral editingApplications of audio restorationDemixingsound designBecause of the lack of illustrated step-by-step instructions; though; this is not a book for those who want to teach themselves this art form. This book reads more like a text book for intermediate-to-advance audio editors.
