THE BASICS of SPLICING and DUBBING
•
SPLICING: the sound is physically cut apart and tape back
together again. Usually it refers to audiotape rather than
manipulating electronic sounds file.
•
DUBBING: transferring sound from source to source
electronically instead of snipping and cutting.
•
EDITING: the process of rearranging, correcting, and
assembling a finished product

Splicing and Editing a Sound File
• Destructive Editing; a lot like using the cut-andpaste function on a word processor, occurs when the
splice is made and the sound file is changed. –what
you choose to include in the newcast will be called
the “sound bite.”
• Nondestructive Editing (copying); occurs when the
original audio components are retained and can be
reused if the edit does not work out to your
satisfaction.

MARKING EDIT POINTS (for Destructive Editing)
• Before Editing
Mayor: We have decided to go ahead with construction of a
new crosstown expressway from the junction of interstate
440 to, as you can see the right here on the map, commercial
street, where there will be a major interchange.
• After Editing
Mayor: “We have decided to go ahead with construction of
a new crosstown expressway from the junction of interstate
440 to, as you can see right here on the map.

Though the destructive method of editing work just fine,
you might make a mistake.
Nondestructive Editing is a better solution because you can
edit the file by marking and choosing certain “regions”
within the sound file that you want to play back. (try on the
“Cool Edit Pro”)
Nondestructive editing has the advantage of allowing you to
change your edit points as many times as you want, without
altering the original sound file. It also allows you to play
segments of the audio file out of their original order.

COPYING, PASTING, and LOOPING
• Most digital audio workstation allow the user to
create a region within a sound file called a loop.
• Just as the name implies, a loop is useful for taking
a small segment of music or a SFx and making it
longer.
• Drumming or other percussive segments of music
frequently make exciting background tracks.
• Looping makes it possible to repeat rhytmic phrases,
thus creating longer portions that you can use in
audio production.

DUBBING
•
you essentially copy a source in one
location to another location or a different medium.
But the technology that allows you to dub is
essentially the same as the technology that allows you to
When you dub,
splice and edit.
•
Dubbing from one source to another too many times
can cause the
quality of the recording to deteriorate. (particularly when
you are dubbing with a minidisc)
• Every new dub of a recording is known as another
generation.

ADVANTAGES of DUBBING
• Dubbing allows you to overlap elements. If,
for example, you want to edit in a piece of
music and talk over it, fading the music out,
you will have to use dubbing or more
sophisticated features of the DAW.
• Another plus of dubbing is that it can be
accomplished very quickly.

ADVANTAGES of DUBBING
• Dubbing will probably account for most of
the editing work you’ll do.
• Station get most of their music on CDs or
from a music service, and they dub this music
onto a hard disk for playback
• Dubbing is very useful in editing because it’s
less work than some other forms of electronic
editing.
