Basic Sound Editing

This project-based course will teach you all you need to know to create and edit audio with Soundbooth CS3, Adobe's new audio-editing application targeted at creative professionals in all disciplines (no sound engineering background required!) Soundbooth CS3 will appeal to users who want to use audio in their everyday tasks: recording and editing, removing unwanted noise, customizing sound effects, adding aural emphasis to a scene, or creating royalty-free music to match the mood of a production. Soundbooth's tight integration with Flash and Premiere Pro lets users create flawless voiceovers, remove pops and scratches from recordings, and create customized music for any video or Flash production. Using step-by-step instructions with projects that build on the knowledge learned in each lesson, students will learn techniques for recording new dialog tracks and sound effects while learning how to modify existing audio files with tools that cut, copy, paste, fade, stretch, and add effects. Students will also learn how to take advantage of AutoComposer, a feature that speeds the process of creating customized music to accompany their projects.
