Editing Audio editing software (section)

===Advantages of non-destructive (real-time) editing===
*Effects can usually be adjusted during playback, or at any other time.
*Edits may be undone or adjusted at any time in any order.
*Multiple effects and edits may be 'stacked' so that they are applied to the audio as an [[effects unit#Stompboxes|effect chain]].
*A stack of effects may be changed so that effects are applied in a different order, or effects inserted or removed from the chain.
*Some real-time editors support [[mix automation|effect automation]] so that changes to effect parameters may be programmed to occur at specified times during audio playback.
