Concepts of audio


The power of audio in film and television certainly becomes very apparent when you turn the volume down. A movie without its soundtrack, FX track, dialogue track, and ambient tracks, starts to create a void in the experience. Especially nowadays with nearly everyone having a surround sound theatre system in their lounge, or media room!

So to ensure that you can make the most form the audio tools in Vegas Pro 11, I will first give you a 101 of the basics and physics of audio. A good understanding of this basic knowledge will hold you in good stead and you will no longer be just guessing when you change the parameters of the audio plugins.
