Quote of the Day

“I ran the tracks, the music stops, the dead rat takes a solo. Nothing happens. I turn around and say to my assistant, ‘You a**hole, get out there and put the mic in the right place. About four inches up and a little to the left.’”- Jack Douglas

edit decision list (abbr. EDL)

A way to make changes to audio files in a DAW, where the original audio files are not changed. Instead, the DAW makes notations of the cuts and edits made. This notation is the edit decision list. The DAW uses the edit decision list to know what parts of the original audio file to play, when to play them, and how to play them.
