The flexibility of editing digital audio is one of the distinct advantages of working with nonlinear hard-disk recording systems. The user can precisely fix mistakes, adjust timing, rearrange sectional material, and combine elements in every way conceivable. What was once incredibly difficult or impossible to do with analog tape is now almost routine, if you have the right tool set and skill set.

Modern production is both blessed and plagued by this flexibility. On one hand, it allows sophisticated edits to be performed with great accuracy. On the other, falling into obsessive extremes is all too easy, and you can worry a track to a lifeless lump of 1s and 0s.

That said, good editing techniques can take your material to another level, turning a raw performance into a polished piece of music. Logic offers many possibilities for working with digital audio, whether fixing a mistake or recording problem that would otherwise ruin an excellent take, or creating new parts out of an amalgam of tracks.

In this lesson you will explore various techniques for editing digital audio, enabling you to rework raw material with speed and flexibility.
