ABSTRACT
Of course, it’s a safe bet to say that music itself, in all its various forms, is an indispensable production part of almost all types of media production. In video postproduction, digital video editors, digital audio workstations (DAWs), audio and video transports, automated console systems and electronic musical instruments routinely work together to help create a soundtrack and then refine it into its finished form (Figure 11.1). The underlying 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.
