How To Edit Audio

 Summarize the steps in editing your audio for video?  Why are each important?

    The first and arguably the most important step would be file management, this ensures that you are able to locate your files easily and in a timely matter and know where everything is to make your editing process smoother. Second is synching sound, this makes sure that your clips and audio tracks are synched up together and match up, if you do this as you go with your project it will help your editing process. Third step is dialogue editing and ADR which would consist of editing your best takes including best takes of audio and if there are audio issues to pull the actor in early on to do ADR(automatic dialogue replacement) which would fix audio. Fourth is sound design and foley which is important to your project because in this process you are adding sound effects, music, and manipulating preexisting audio. With foley it's adding or exaggerating everyday sounds. Fifth is background music which is important because it can help with pacing and tone and emotional weight of our story. Lastly is the final mix when everything comes together.
