Audio Editing / Mixing / Restoration
I could argue I’ve been editing audio for 30 years, but the early decades track an obsessive desire to extract, compare, expand, condense, and improve music and later dialogue, with podcasting forming the best synthesis of what I enjoy in taking voice, music, selecting sound effects and other extracts for a concise program, usually involving an interview with a film composer.
For clients, I’ve condensed interviews for archiving, research, educational presentations, digital publication, and tackled issues with location noises, low volume levels, the quirks of phone and Skype connections, and the quirks of speech – the pauses, fragmented sentences, coughs, word repetition, and the Unconscious Um, which we all interpolate when forming or expanding a question, a reply, or a thought.
The extracts below illustrate how editing can help your audio program or audio track, and how several unwanted elements can be trimmed, softened, and balanced to present a distillation of a public Q&A that’s listenable in any environment and device.
