Yes, you can edit audio tracks. I do it all the time when I want to make the drums a bit less busy by removing beats, adjusting volume, or moving things slightly to shift the beat.

But MIDI is a lot easier to edit, for a number of reasons. For one thing, it's easy to select all the drum kicks or some other element, because they're all on the same MIDI note number. MIDI makes it much easier to replace one instrument with another, like Notes was suggesting. And you can swap out one instrument for another - for example, use a crunchier drumkit, or different sort of piano.

Audio is also tricky when you remove notes, because the track volume falls to zero at that point, which can draw attention to the edit.

But for minor tweaks, it's certainly worth editing audio.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
