What does a Music Editor do?

There are two types of Music Editor. One person writes about music for a publication, much like a sports editor or theatre editor might contribute in their particular specialty.

Another type works in the film and television industry. This Music Editor handles all the technical aspects of the production's music soundtrack. The editor works with the composer of the production to document the director's or producer's desire for placement, style, and length of each piece of music. He supervises the scoring -- or recording -- session and finally, the mixing -- or dubbing -- session where the music is blended with the other sound elements, the dialog and sound effects.
