What is audio editing?

Audio editing is the process of manipulating and arranging sound recordings using specialized software. This includes tasks such as cutting, trimming, mixing, cleaning up noise, adjusting levels, and adding effects to ensure high-quality audio output. Audio editors work with various audio formats and are essential in industries like music production, podcasts, film, and broadcasting. The goal is to create a polished and professional audio product that meets the intended purpose and audience expectations.

What are audio editing jobs?

Audio editing is used in TV, music, and film production to create and edit the perfect soundtrack. A sound editor or engineer builds the soundtrack by cutting the picture to synchronize it with sound elements. Their duties involve working with dialogue tracks, recordings, and analog and digital foley. Re-recording mixer responsibilities focus on the final sound balance, paying attention to volume levels as well as sound quality. Audio editing supervisors handle the sound post-production. They collaborate with the director to ensure the production soundtrack meets the requirements, stays within the budget, and everything proceeds as scheduled.

What are some common challenges audio editors face when collaborating with producers and other team members?

Audio editors often work closely with producers, sound designers, and other creatives, which can lead to challenges around aligning artistic vision and meeting tight deadlines. Communication is key in resolving feedback loops, managing revisions, and ensuring the final product matches the intended style. Adapting to different workflows, file formats, and software preferences among collaborators is also common. Building strong organizational habits and maintaining clear, frequent communication can help audio editors navigate these challenges successfully.

What is the difference between Audio Editing vs Audio Engineering?

AspectAudio EditingAudio Engineering
Required CredentialsBasic audio editing software skills, sometimes certifications in editing toolsAdvanced knowledge of audio equipment, certifications in sound engineering or production
Work EnvironmentPost-production studios, editing suites, remote editing setupsRecording studios, live venues, broadcast environments
Employer & Industry UsageMedia companies, film and TV production, podcastingMusic production, film sound, live sound reinforcement

Audio editing primarily involves manipulating and refining audio recordings using editing software, focusing on cutting, arranging, and enhancing sound clips. Audio engineering encompasses a broader scope, including recording, mixing, and managing sound during production. While both roles require technical skills, audio engineering often demands more advanced certifications and hands-on experience with audio equipment. Understanding these differences helps clarify career paths and job expectations in the audio industry.

Job description

Job Description:
POLITICO is seeking an experienced Senior Producer to help launch and shape a new audio and video show exploring the technologies, ideas and innovations poised to reshape politics, policy and power.
This is an opportunity to partner closely with our host to define a new editorial franchise for POLITICO. You'll work across every aspect of the show - from identifying the ideas worth exploring and booking world-class guests to writing scripts, overseeing recordings, editing episodes and helping grow the audience. We're looking for someone who enjoys moving seamlessly between big-picture editorial thinking and hands-on production.
This is a role for someone who enjoys helping shape an editorial product from idea to impact. You'll help define the show's editorial vision while also rolling up your sleeves each week to make it happen. On our team, there's no separation between "creative" work and "production" work. The same person who helps decide what conversation should happen is often the person who sets up the microphones, shapes the edit and helps make sure the episode reaches its audience. If that kind of ownership excites you, you'll thrive here.
Our shows are multiplatform products, with audio, video and social media elements. Experience producing across those formats-and identifying smart ways to adapt and grow journalism for different audiences-is a strong plus. As the show's cadence and scope evolve, this role may be dedicated primarily to this production or split time across additional POLITICO audio and video projects.
Who You Are:
  • An experienced producer with a track record of creating exceptional audio and/or video journalism.
  • Intellectually curious, with a genuine fascination for emerging technologies and the ways they will reshape politics, policy and society.
  • A strong editorial thinker who loves identifying original ideas, asking smart questions and turning complex subjects into compelling conversations.
  • Equally comfortable developing a show's editorial vision and executing the production work that brings it to life.
  • Someone who thrives in a small, collaborative team where everyone contributes across the production process.
  • Experienced producing across multiple platforms, with an understanding of how podcasts, YouTube and social video work together to build audience.
  • A collaborative partner who enjoys working closely with hosts, reporters and editors while bringing your own ideas to the table.

What You'll Do:
  • Help define and evolve the editorial vision for a new POLITICO show.
  • Research, develop and shape episodes that are intellectually ambitious, deeply reported and accessible to a policy-focused audience.
  • Identify, book and prepare guests from government, industry, academia and beyond.
  • Write episode outlines and scripts that balance editorial rigor with engaging storytelling.
  • Oversee recording sessions, coaching hosts and guests as needed while maintaining a high standard of editorial quality.
  • Edit podcast episodes to a polished final product and, ideally, help oversee or edit companion video versions.
  • Partner with editorial, audience, social and marketing teams to maximize the reach and impact of each episode.
  • Monitor audience performance and continually refine the show's editorial and creative strategy based on what resonates.
  • Help build a distinctive editorial franchise covering the future of technology, politics and policy.

What You'll Need:
  • 6+ years of experience producing podcasts, video journalism or similar editorial programming.
  • Exceptional editorial judgment and strong instincts for identifying original stories and conversations.
  • Demonstrated interest in emerging technology, innovation, science, economics or other future-facing policy issues.
  • Excellent writing skills, including scripting, interview preparation and narrative structure.
  • Strong booking experience and the ability to cultivate relationships with influential guests.
  • Excellent audio editing skills; video editing experience is strongly preferred.
  • Experience owning productions end-to-end, balancing editorial leadership with hands-on execution.
  • Outstanding organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple moving pieces on a weekly production schedule.
  • Familiarity with audience analytics and platform metrics to inform editorial decisions.
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm for building something new.

Compensation:
  • $100,000-$135,000 Annual Base
    The final salary offered will be based on factors including relevant experience, skills, and qualifications.

About Us.
POLITICO illuminates the forces shaping global power. Since 2007, we have delivered intelligence that anticipates tomorrow's headlines, not reports on yesterday's news. As politics has increasingly become the defining force of our era, our work has never been more vital.
Cabinet secretaries and Ministers start their mornings with our analysis. CEOs shape strategy around our reporting. Advocacy leaders rely on our insights to move policy. We deliver the straightforward facts and clear-eyed analysis they need to navigate the most complex political landscape of our lifetimes.
Our 1,100+ publishing professionals across the world's key democratic capitals-Washington, Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin, Sacramento, and New York-form the world's premier politics and policy newsroom. We tell the story of how power really works by explaining who wields it and how they plan to exercise it, connecting dots others miss and delivering scoops from sources others don't even know exist.
Innovation has always been a core tenet of our story. At launch, we bet that depth would trump scale, that talent would trump traffic, and that politics would become central to modern life. In 2011, we made another bet and launched POLITICO Pro to help decision-makers understand the business of government, transforming both how they shape government action and the business of journalism itself.
These bets have made POLITICO the most successful digital news startup of its generation and the indispensable resource for leaders who shape the future. Today, we are a rarity in media: a growing, profitable, and sustainable news organization.
POLITICO is a subsidiary of Axel Springer SE, a family-owned transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York. Axel Springer is dedicated to shaping the future of journalism in the free world, believing that a free and informed society is essential to democracy. Learn more about Axel Springer.
