Sound Editing

There are two types of Sound Editing:

Sound Mixing -- This can be done in either the original shooting process or in editing. Two or more sound sources can be connected to a sound mixer and then inputted into a camcorder's external mike jack (note: not all camcorders have an external mike jack). Two or more sound sources can be connected to a sound mixer, and then inputted into the record VCR's audio input jack(s). This enables the sound to be altered or added to during the editing process.

Audio Dubbing -- This is the technique of adding audio to footage that is already edited together or previously shot. The audio is added to the video tape without altering the previously recorded video and, in some cases, without altering the previously recorded audio. In order to do either of these processes, the VCR must have an Audio Dub function already built-in. In addition, the recording VCR must be a HiFi Stereo VCR with a built-in Audio Dub function.
