non-linear audio

Non-linear audio refers to a way of editing and manipulating sound that doesn't follow a straight, sequential order. Unlike traditional recordings, where audio is played in the exact same way it was recorded, non-linear audio allows for flexible editing—changing, rearranging, or adding parts without affecting the original recording. This approach is common in digital audio workstations (DAWs), enabling artists and producers to create complex compositions, fix mistakes, and experiment with sound creatively, all while maintaining high audio quality. It makes the music and audio production process more dynamic and adaptable.
