Sound editing
In radio, film, and television, the sound editor deals with the mixing, adjusting and fixing the soundtrack. He usually has a major decision-making and creative role.
A sound editor also decides what sound effects to use and what effects to achieve from the sound effects, edits and or makes new sounds using filters / combining sounds, shaping sound with volume curves, and equalizing. An SE takes the foley artist's sounds and put them in place so it works with the picture and sounds natural, even if the sound is "un"natural. In many cases, an SE uses a sound effects library extensively, either self-compiled, bought or both, as many of the sounds don't get enough focus in a 100% recording (on location actual sound). Mostly SE's uses pro tools on Macintosh computers with a digidesign I/O when it comes to movie and tv sound. (PCG)
