DAWs and Audio Editing As Fast As Possible

Editing audio usually meant cutting and splicing physical tape until the 1970s. How has digital editing opened up a world of new possibilities?

haha it's a word you use when you see
something adorable like a box of puppies
no that's wrong cause our digital audio
workstations and in no way adorable
unless you know you're into that kind of
thing
well either way moving on does are used
in production of basically everything
from soundtracks from movies albums
voiceovers podcasts and so on
much like video editing the first audio
editing involved recording to and
splicing tape and unfortunately that's
really how it stayed until the late
nineteen seventies before then computers
just didn't have the processing power or
storage space needed to edit audio then
soundstream stepped in with what they
called the digital editing system it
uses a special mini computer running
custom software package and operating
system the system was capable of moving
and crossfading between audio clips
which for a time was pretty dang cool
and significantly easier than splicing
tape
not long after this in the nineteen
eighties consumer computers are becoming
powerful enough to run their own Dawes
digidesign sound tools and sound
designer could be hooked up to a
computer for editing audio samples and
yes people were sampling back in the
eighties this in fact started a huge
dispute over copyright laws over
sampling and shortly after this major
record labels all started going digital
digidesign answered this digital
revolution with their legendary software
pro tools which quickly became and is
still to this day the industry standard
da this was however expensive because
pro tools required dedicated hardware
for audio processing it wasn't until
$MONTH 1993 that a German company called
Steinberg released the first dog that
broke away from dedicated hardware but
what kind of hardware do you need to mix
and edit audio you could have something
as simple as an entry-level USB mic like
the blue Yeti connected to a computer
but studios usually have much larger
mixing consoles capable of receiving a
multitude of controllable audio sources
so is their benefit to this other than
just being able to record lots of stuff
at once of course a recurring theme
across many topics is the benefits of
dedicated equipment just like having a
dedicated graphics card in a computer
using a dead
cated compressor Mike amp or mixer makes
a big difference in sound and
performance so by performance you mean
moving and cutting up sounds right
well almost like video editing there's
lots of possibilities and dogs come in
tons of different flavors many does
allow you to synthesize and create your
own instruments from scratch and in some
cases break away from the timeline
editing view we are so used to Ableton
Live is a perfect example since you
store your ideas and blocks and can
activate them with a controller each
button playing a different segment of
your song programs like FL Studio a
well-known da for pc allows the user to
store ideas and segments in a side bank
as loops and pull them into the timeline
whenever they're needed
then there's programs like Pro Tools
sonar and logic which are more closely
it designed to emulate analog equipment
giving the operator similar set of
controls to playing a physical mixing
console ironically that means the
industry standard digital audio
workstations are actually emulating the
analog audio workstations that they
replaced so what's next
and she really expect many changes in
the future for audio editing well that's
actually a pretty good possibility many
smaller dogs are moving towards
modularity with third-party plugins that
are there to make the creative process
easier for the producer or artist
however with the rate analog audio is
changing which is too slow for even a
clever metaphor I wouldn't expect the
top dog industry-standard dogs to change
up anytime soon
