Audio editing is the process of manipulating and arranging audio recordings to improve their quality or to create a desired sound. This can involve cutting out unwanted sections, adjusting volume levels, adding effects, and mixing different audio tracks together. Professionals and hobbyists alike use audio editing software to perform these tasks. Popular programs include Audacity, Adobe Audition, and GarageBand. The goal of audio editing is to produce a polished final product, whether it’s for music, podcasts, or film soundtracks.
