Audio production is the art and science of sound recording, editing, and mixing. It can consist of many different projects like films, records albums, games and more. The main formats that are used for these productions are digital recordings. Audio recording is the process that starts with capturing the best possible sound to be included in the final product. The next step is editing and mix sounds together to create a cohesive product. Finally the finished product must be mastered by listening for any inconsistencies in volume level or quality before releasing it to the public.
