What audio covers
Sound is where an edit is judged and where it is least often worked on. These cover the chain: getting a clean recording, removing what should not be there, setting dialogue at a consistent level, and placing music and effects underneath it without burying the voice. Almost all of it is fixable after the fact, and almost none of it is fixable if the recording clipped.
| Clean first | Noise reduction and silence removal before anything else. Boosting a noisy track boosts the noise. |
|---|---|
| Level to a target | Dialogue at a consistent loudness is what makes a video feel professionally made. |
| Music sits under | A bed at roughly half the dialogue level supports it. Anything louder competes with it. |
