Digital audio editor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A digital audio editor is a computer application for audio editing, i.e. manipulating digital audio. It allows you to:
- Record
- Audio from one or more inputs can be captured and stored in the computer's memory as digital audio.
- Edit
- The start time, stop time, and duration of any sound on the audio timeline can be altered.
- Mix
- Multiple sound sources/tracks can be combined at various volume levels and, if in stereo, to left-right panning to one or more output tracks.
- Apply Effects
- Apply simple or advanced effects or filters to change the audio. Effects could include compression, expansion, flanging, reverb, noise reduction, equalization or a wide variety of other functions.
- Playback
- Sound (often after being mixed) can be sent to one or more outputs; commonly speakers, additional processors, or a recording medium.
- Conversion
- A common audio editing task is converting between different audio file formats, or between different sound quality levels.
Typically these tasks can be performed in a manner that is both non-linear and non-destructive.
