Description
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. Read more

I liked this book. I found it to be pretty well written and outlined. It was informative, and not too technical. I certainly recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting an expert's take on the process of editing audio files in order to clean up, optimize, fine-tune, and polish them. I did not love the book however. I thought the author did too much compare and contrast from the old ways to the new ways regarding audio editing. He should have talked about the old ways in the first two chapters, and left it at that. Instead he sprinkled the old ways in the the prose in the later chapters as well. As a result, he muddied his message so to speak. I also would have liked the book better if the author had not tried to organize his book around editing objectives: corrections, creations, and restorations. I would have liked the book much better if the outline of the book had covered the various processes from basic to highly complex. He even admits there is tremendous overlap among the processes with regard to corrections and creations. Lastly, I must comment on the coverage of restorations. This is such an esoteric editing objective reserved to editors who work on old recordings for the most part. I suspect most of the readers of this book could care less about knowing how to do such things. If there is a real demand for that, then dedicate an entire book to it that would cover all the processes as they specifically relate to restorations. But to cover restorations as a separate section in this book diluted what I got from it. I thought the blue pages at the end of each chapter that discussed specifics in the various DAW applications was good. I'm glad the author took the time and trouble to include such material. 4 stars!

We are often faced with the challenges of operating the plethora of tools available in today's advanced DAW's, and there are a lot of technical publications geared at just that. Although this book glances at some of those specifics, it doesn’t go into them too deeply. What it does is look at recording conceptually. The author has provided three main sections; corrective editing, creative editing, and restorative editing. Each section is comprised of several chapters. Even though the book centers more on the theoretical, at the end of every chapter it concludes with a hands-on approach. Comprehensively enough the hands on sections cover each of the most popular DAW’s mainly Pro tools, Logic One, Cubase, and Studio One. My first computer-based recording system comprised of a Windows DOS based 286 with a MIDI card that would record digital based instruments, mainly my Roland synth while at the same time producing an SMTPE time code in order to sync with my Sony 4 track reel to reel tape recorder which would handle all the analog instruments such as guitar and voice. The author reflects on that era and how it evolved into the here and now. This book being grounded in theory as well as some hands-on is a good treatise for the intermediary technician looking for a way to conceptually approach their art. The author has a lighter prose style and understands the material so well that his conceptual jargon is easy to understand in light of the application he is trying to illustrate. All in all an enjoyable read as well as an enlightened one

First, this is NOT intended for audio recording and editing neophytes! It is for the experienced editor who wants to learn advanced techniques for corrective, creative and restorative editing. While primarily oriented toward Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase and Studio One, the techniques can be applied to any moderately sophisticated DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). You may have to search for the specific controls in other programs. The book is principally text with a few black and white illustrations which some have found fault with. I don't: this is a book filled with specific instructions and explanations of what you are doing a certain thing. It is not a learn-by-pictures kind of thing. It is a teaching manual, not a picture book. For example, the (very detailed, very interesting) chapter on time-stretching has twelve solid pages of explanation on what time-stretching is before it moves to ten pages of application specific instructions. For the audio technician who knows something, but not everything, this is an excellent technique instructional. For those who are just starting out, look elsewhere. Jerry

I received a free item to review. I've read Simon Langford's `Remix Manual' book and was impressed by his ability to communicate deep technical detail in a serious yet lively way. Fortunately the same approach continues in `Digital Audio Editing'. I found `Digital Audio Editing's top-down organization a major strength, framing the techniques and tool discussions into broad categories of Corrective, Creative and Restorative. I especially enjoyed the opening chapters that described a history of audio editing techniques, their context and purpose. It all serves to guide the reader subtly to narrow and focus their goals, increasingly important in audio engineering where the novelty of new software and hardware tools can often intrude, distract and overwhelm the attention span. The individual techniques range from what I'd describe as more rudimentary DAW functionality (cutting/paste/move, fades-crossfades, comps and multi-track comping to techniques requiring more `audio chops' to pull off well (transient detection, drum replacement, time-stretch, pitch-shifting and spectral editing. A second organizational plus is the division of most chapters into a discussion followed by a tutorial. If you're in a reading/contemplative mood you can bypass the hands-on and vice-versa. This works better for me than books and articles that attempt to integrate the two - pulling your focus back and forth. Although the book specifically targets Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase and Studio One, the techniques and functionality are for the most part applicable to all DAWS. Langford admirably shows no particular bias and the information should be easily transferable by anyone with an intermediate-level understanding of their particular tools.

This book provides standard audio editing guidelines, in a large print format. The information is applicable to just about any audio editor, and like any other audio editor, if you've read your documentation, you already know everything you'll find in this book. This book is an excellent alternative to reading online documentation on the monitor on which you're trying to work.
