Digital audio editing
We edit music and recorded audio with precision and speed in a professional DAW: clean cuts, smooth transitions and unwanted noise removed, so your project is ready for mastering.
What is digital audio editing?
Digital audio editing is the careful cutting, joining and cleaning of recorded audio so it plays smoothly from start to finish. It covers edits between takes, trimming and tightening, fades and transitions, and the removal of unwanted noise.
We use professional DAW technology that lets us make even the most demanding edits with extreme precision, speed and efficiency.
Editing is usually done before mastering, so the finished master is built on clean material.
Who is it for?
Artists and bands
Takes, live recordings and compilations that need tidy edits that do not draw attention to themselves.
Producers and mix engineers
Precise edits and clean-up from a specialist before the project moves on to mastering.
Labels
Carefully edited material that is consistent across a release or catalogue.
Podcasters
Smooth transitions and unwanted noise removed from spoken-word recordings.

Editing questions
What does digital editing include?
Digital editing includes cutting and joining audio, trimming and tightening, fades and transitions, and removing unwanted noise.
Can you edit and master the same project?
Yes. Editing usually comes first, followed by mastering, so the master is made from clean, finished material.
Will editing change how my recording sounds?
Editing changes the structure and cleanliness of a recording, not its musical character. Tone, dynamics and loudness are handled in mastering.
