Editing is a necessary process which helps to improve the quality of audio and video projects. This is the process that must be done after the completion of recording.  Editing is not an easy task, as you have to deal with various factors. The following are some of the useful editing tips.

Edit Before Mixing

Editing must be done immediately after the recording of audio or video projects. Make sure that you edit the audio and video projects just before it is sent for mixing. This makes the mixing process quick and straightforward. 

Remove Background Noise

There would be silences in the tracks recorded. Listen to the tracks carefully and note the silent phrases in between the tracks. There are chances for various types of noise like breath, external sound, etc. Thus it is essential to cut the background noise and proceed with the compression. Editing with the background noise can increase the noise of the recorded track. 

Make Right Use Of Fades

During editing, make the right use of fades, which helps to reduce the aural unexpectedness of introducing some instruments to the mix. Using fades effectively can improve the quality of the result of your editing process. 

Cut At Zero Point 

Zero-point is a point in the waveform where the positive and negative side of your sound waves meets. This is the point when the volume is zero. Cutting at Zero Point during editing can help to prevent clicks and pops. 

Manage The Volume Of Individual Phrases

Alter the volume of the individual phrases before you compress the entire track. This would help to improve the quality of the editing process. Raising or lowering the volume of the individual phrases helps in compressing the tracks effectively. 

Make Use Of Mute

Try introducing mute in the various regions of recorded vocal. This would help to create suspense in the track. 

The above are some of the practical tips for improving the quality of the editing process.
