1. What is Sound Editing ?
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. Sound editing developed
out of the need to fix the incomplete, undramatic, or
technically inferior sound recordings of early talkies, and over
the decades has become a respected filmmaking craft, with
sound editors implementing the aesthetic goals of motion
picture sound design.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences recognizes the artistic contribution of exceptional
sound editing with the Academy Award for Best Sound
Editing.
