Claim One:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions to perform: determining matching portions of captured audio as a function of spectral characteristics of portions of the captured audio to form matched audio portions, wherein the spectral characteristics comprise spectral signatures of the portions of the captured audio, wherein the at least two portions of the captured audio: contain similar acoustical patterns captured for a same scene; differ from each other due to deviations comprising different rates of delivery of speech or differing utterances; and are from multiple takes captured from the same scene in substantially a consecutive, non-overlapping fashion during different intervals of time; said determining comprises calculating that the spectral signatures of the matched audio portions are substantially equivalent, indicating that the matched audio portions are substantially acoustically equivalent; and said calculating comprises determining that the spectral signatures of the matched audio portions are substantially acoustically equivalent regardless of the deviations comprising different rates of delivery of speech or differing utterances; and synchronizing at least two portions of the captured audio substantially at the matched audio portions.
