In the “Edit Volume” you’ll learn the elusive and sometimes overlooked aspects of making sound smooth, workable and even making things sound better than they are. Using Adobe Audition as the platform, you’ll learn to import from NLE-to-DAW and cut room tone, ambiences, how to best use cross fades, organization, and even how to turn dull sound effects into powerful Hollywood show-stopping-masterpieces, all while watching Mark do the edit in 5 real-world scenarios.

Chapter 1: Advanced Editing I (1hr 25m)

In this chapter Mark fires the opening salvo of information regarding the mysteries of audio editing, and he gives us the basic tools which don’t translate from NLEs – and which are mandatory to get audio organized and ready for the Fix and Mix.
