Editing
Editing is the process of changing recorded or sequenced material to improve timing, structure, or clarity.
Level relevance: introduced at Nat 3; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Editing includes tasks such as trimming clips, cutting mistakes, aligning takes, cleaning noise, adjusting note timing, and arranging sections. Good editing can make a performance clearer and more professional without removing all musical character. In coursework, editing choices should be accurate and purposeful rather than random.
