Preface

 

It is not uncommon for a television production company to spend more time working on the audio portion of a TV program than the video portion. At any given point in a show, for example, there is only one visual image on screen. But at that same moment there may be dozens of audio tracks all dancing together: dialogue, music, sound effects etc. Each audio track must be carefully created and adjusted to within very precise tolerances to produce the desired effect.
