Primer
Hello,
I came across "primer" and wanted to see its meaning and pronunciation. Therefore, I looked it up in Cambridge Dictionary.
However, there is an inconsistency between the transcription and pronunciation:

Can you tell me whether it should be /'pra?.m?/ or /'pr?.m?/?
My second question is about a recording. What is the word which informs that a recording (or a tape) has been cut and rearranged in order to manipulate someone? Is it "assembly"?
Thank you
