ABSTRACT

Over the years, electronic music has evolved into an indispensable production tool within almost all forms of media production. In video postproduction, for example, audio and video transports, digital audio workstations (DAWs), automated console systems, and electronic musical instruments routinely work together to help create a soundtrack and refine it into its finished form (Figure 11.1). The technology that allows multiple audio and visual media to operate in tandem so as to maintain a direct time relationship is known as synchronization, or sync.
