Abstract

An audio editing system (50) comprises an audio store (51) for storing digital data representing audio clips. An editing processor (52) is operable in response to manipulation of a stylus and touch tablet (53) to edit the audio clip data. The editing processor (52) is arranged to generate edit data and store the same in an edit data store (54). A display processor (55) is arranged to generate from the edit data a set of data defining an image representing each of the audio clips and the manner in which they have been edited. The image is displayed on a monitor (56) and identifies audio clip portions selected to contribute to an audio sequence and all audio clip portions not selected contribute to the audio sequence.
