Sound Recording & Design
 |
Sound recording and reproduction is an electrical or mechanical inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording. Digital recording and reproduction converts the analog sound signal picked up by the microphone to a digital form by a process of digitization, allowing it to be stored and transmitted by a wider variety of media. A sound editor is a creative professional responsible for selecting and assembling sound recordings in preparation for the final sound mixing or mastering of a television program, motion picture, video game, or any production involving recorded or synthetic sound.
The essential piece of equipment used in modern sound editing is the digital audio workstation, or DAW. The standard DAW system in use is Digidesign's Pro Tools, with the majority running on Macs. Another system in use presently is Yamaha owned Steinberg's cross platform DAW Nuendo. There are primarily 3 divisions of sound that are combined to create a final mix, these being dialogue, effects, and music. Sound design is the art and process of manipulating audio elements to achieve a desired effect.
