      PREFACE

      This booklet was written with a very casual attitude and style. It doesn't read like an official manual or a technical instruction book. Rather it offers some hopefully entertaining moments and a few useful tips to anyone interested in audio editing, be it analog, or digital.

      I feel very relieved for finishing another larger writing project on the use of a computer for audio editing. Originally my intention was simply to update my original texts from 2004, but once I started, that project became a real burden. I realized that I had to rewrite the entire book. During this painstaking process I realized how some of the topics would function much better as a literary work of their own – the one you are currently reading. What was originally a collection of just a few audio work tips, grew into a collection of 15 topics presented in this booklet.

      Sound is quite a miraculous phenomenon: Waves carried by air, caused by mechanical vibrations. We hear them as rhythm, noise, notes, speech. We attach meanings to these waves – vowels, consonants, words, sentences, and beats. Music. The most amazing thing is how our human brain interprets sounds and builds significance and structure into them. Why does a drop of the frequency of the middle tone of a major chord change the sound from jolly to sad in our minds?

      Ok, but let's return to the point before this text starts to slip too far from its original intent! The first ten tips are directly linked to computerized audio work and editing. The rest are other kinds of tips and tricks related to making music. I hope you find some of them helpful.

      1: CLIP BY CLIP TOWARD THE FINAL VICTORY

      Uh .. damn .. go again...  The red ON-AIR light is blinking and you start to feel nervous… Fortunately, it is no longer necessary to get a recording done at once, instead a track can be put together little by little. Recording the whole track piece by piece was learned already early in the analog era.

      In digital recording, and why not on a tape too, it is also easy to make parallel, alternative tracks. And unlike the physical tape, digital recording does not have much limitations with the number of tracks. You can easily make 5 or 10 or even 15 takes and keep them all in your project. That actually brings one downside: you might record a bit too many options and later it will be very time consuming to go through all of them.

      However, by using alternative tracks, you will be able to put together one really good track, when you collect the best parts from all the parallel
