#151 - Sound Editing vs Sound Mixing

What is the difference between sound editing and sound mixing and should you care?

Because understanding what you should be focusing on at each stage of the sound editing, design and mixing process will help you to craft a far superior final result than if you just 'throw sound' at the film and expect it all to blend well together.

This is true, even if you're only mixing dialogue and music in piece of branded online content for YouTube.

In these three videos, and in under 15 minutes, award winning editor, sound designer and mixer Walter Murch will guide you through what sound editing is, what sound mixing is and the differences between them with plenty of interesting examples from his incredible body of work.

Enjoy!
