2. Audio Editing: What to Edit and What to Leave Alone
In this episode, we delve into the dual nature of audio editing as both a technical skill and an art form. The philosophy centers on enhancing natural sound while preserving authenticity, adhering to the 'less is more' principle. We cover essential aspects such as safe editing practices for breaths, background noise, silences, volume inconsistencies, and more. Key technical concepts like peak distortion, noise gates, and compression are explained with practical advice to avoid common beginner mistakes.
