To identify a button, place the pointer over the button until a tool tip appears. The status bar runs across the bottom of the Adobe Audition work area. You can show or hide the status bar and select which types of information appear there. Data Under Cursor B. Sample Format C. File Size D. File Size Time E. Free Space F. Free Space Time G. Keyboard Modifiers H. Display Mode. A check mark indicates that the status bar is visible. Data Under Cursor Shows information such as channel for stereo files , amplitude measured in decibels , and time hours:minutes:seconds:hundredths of seconds from the beginning of the audio file.

This data changes dynamically when you move the pointer. For example, if you see R: — Sample Format Displays sample information about the currently opened waveform Edit View or session file Multitrack View. For example, a 44, kHz bit stereo file is displayed as — bit — stereo. File Size Represents how large the active audio file is, measured in kilobytes.

If you see K in the status bar, then the current waveform or session is kilobytes KB in size. File Size time Shows you the length measured in time of the current waveform or session. For example, means the waveform or session is 1. CD or 80 min.

Free Space time In Edit View and Multitrack View, displays the time remaining for recording, based upon the currently selected sample rate.

This value is shown as minutes, seconds, and thousandths of seconds. For example, if Adobe Audition is set to record 8-bit mono audio at 11, kHz, the time remaining might read Change the recording options to bit stereo at 44, kHz, and the time remaining becomes For example, To return to the original setting, click Reset UI. Each Adobe video and audio application includes several predefined workspaces that optimize the layout of panels for specific tasks.

These workspaces optimize the arrangement of panels for specific tasks. You can customize any predefined workspace. Maximum Session Dual Monitor Arranges the Multitrack View work area for a two-monitor setup, displaying the Main panel and application window on one monitor and other panels on the second monitor, providing maximum view of the Main panel display.

Maximum Waveform Editing Dual Monitor Arranges the Edit View work area for a two-monitor setup, displaying the Main panel and application window on one monitor and other panels on the second monitor, providing maximum view of the Main panel display. As you customize a workspace, the application tracks your changes, storing the most recent layout.

To store a specific layout more permanently, save a custom workspace. Saved custom workspaces appear in the Workspace menu, where you can return to and reset them. Type a name for the workspace, and click OK. Note: If a project saved with a custom workspace is opened on another system, the application looks for a workspace with a matching name. Note: You cannot delete the currently active workspace.

You can use a wide range of hardware inputs and outputs with Adobe Audition. Sound card inputs let you bring in audio from sources such as microphones, tape decks, and digital effects units. Sound card outputs let you monitor audio through sources such as speakers and headphones. Sound card inputs connect to sources such as microphones and tape decks. Sound card outputs connect to speakers and headphones. Some cards support both types of drivers. ASIO drivers are preferable because they provide better performance and lower latency.

You can also monitor audio as you record it and instantly hear volume, pan, and effects changes during playback. The main advantage of DirectSound is that you can access one card from multiple applications simultaneously.

In a multitrack session, you can override the defaults for a particular track. The options available will be different than those described below. For more information, consult the documentation for the sound card. When a port is deselected, it is not available as a port option in the Audio Hardware Setup dialog box. If you hear skips or dropouts in playback, you can adjust buffer size: Double-click the Buffer Size numerical entry for an input or output device, and type a new value.

Port Order If the selected device includes more than one port, click the Move Up or Move Down button to change the order of the ports for that device. Full Duplex Select this to enable Adobe Audition to record an audio track while another one plays back, if the sound card is capable of doing so.

Start Input First This determines the order in which Adobe Audition starts the sound card playback in and record out ports in a multitrack environment. Musical Instrument Digital Interface MIDI is a standard for communicating performance information from one piece of software or hardware to another. To close the Preferences dialog box without changing any options, click Cancel. When you click OK, most changes take effect immediately.

If a change requires you to quit and restart Adobe Audition, you are prompted to do so. For example, you need to quit and restart Adobe Audition when you set up a different temporary folder. In the Preferences dialog box, click the General tab to access the following options:. Force Spacebar To Always Trigger Play Plays a file when the spacebar is pressed, regardless of which dockable window has focus.

In the Preferences dialog box, click the System tab to configure how Adobe Audition interacts with your system:. Cache Size Determines the amount of memory that Adobe Audition reserves for processing data.

Recommended cache sizes range from 8 to 32 MB 32 MB is the default. Because undo requires extra disk space for temporary files and extra processing time, you may want to turn this feature off. Lower this number to free up more memory but lose more actions. Temporary Folders Lets you change the location of folders for temporary files, which Adobe Audition creates when you edit audio. All temporary files begin with AUD and have a.

Adobe Audition normally deletes temporary files when it exits. For the options below, click the Browse button to navigate to a new folder location. Ideally, it should be on your fastest hard drive. For best results, specify a different physical hard drive than the primary temp folder.

Auto-Save For Recovery Backs up files more frequently than needed for basic crash recovery. In Adobe Audition, basic crash recovery is on at all times.

This option expands that feature, saving backups more frequently. Because this preference can affect performance, select it only if you experience frequent power failures or system crashes. In general, leave this option selected.

Usually, after you finish with an Adobe Audition session, these clipboard files are no longer needed and just take up space. Force Complete Flush Before Saving Disables the quick save feature, which lets Adobe Audition quickly save files that contain only minor modifications.

If you select this option, Adobe Audition saves an internal backup copy of entire files, considerably increasing the save time for large files. Select this option only if you have trouble saving back to the same filename or you have a problem with the Adobe Audition quick save feature.

To delete invalid characters without replacing them, leave this box blank. Specify a different option only if you commonly open WAV files in a more unusual format. If you typically open files in one format, this option helps you narrow the displayed list of files. You can override the default format in the Open dialog box. If you typically save files in one format, this option makes the saving process more efficient. You can override the default format in the Save As dialog box.

Deselect this option if you want to set transparency for selected ranges instead of reversing the colors. This option is not available when Invert is selected. UI Brightness Drag the slider, click the arrows at either end of the brightness scale, or type in a percentage to change the overall brightness of the work area.

Tint Colors all panels and dialog boxes with a tint you specify. In the Preferences dialog box, click the Display tab to adjust the Spectral and Waveform Display modes:.

Windowing Function Determines which method Adobe Audition uses to segment the spectral data before displaying it. Blackmann or Blackmann-Harris are usually good choices. Resolution Specifies the number of vertical bands used in drawing frequencies.

The larger this number, the longer it takes for Adobe Audition to render the spectral display. Performance varies according to the speed of your computer. This makes the display more accurate along the timeline left and right , but less accurate along the frequency scale up and down.

Marker and range entries listed in the Marker List appear in the waveform as vertical dotted lines overlaying the audio, connecting the arrows from the top to the bottom of the display. Show Grid Lines Displays grid lines in the waveform display. The grid lines mark off time on the horizontal x-axis and amplitude on the vertical y-axis. Show Center Lines Displays center lines in the waveform display. Show Boundary Lines Displays boundary lines in the waveform display.

The value in the Display Lines At option specifies the amplitude at which the boundary lines appear. Peak Files Specifies options for peak. Peak files make file opening almost instantaneous by greatly reducing the time it takes to draw the waveform especially with larger files.

Larger values reduce the RAM requirement for large files at the expense of slightly slower drawing at some zoom levels. The ideal zoom level depends on your current task.

For example, you can zoom in to see details in an audio file or multitrack session, or you can zoom out to get an overview. YoucaneitherclickbuttonsintheZoompanel,ordragscrollbars and rulers.

The main window of a program is the application window. Panels are organized in this window in an arrangement called a workspace. The default workspace contains groups of panels as well as panels that stand alone. You customize a workspace by arranging panels in the layout that best suits your working style. You can create and save several custom workspaces for different tasks for example, one for editing and one for previewing.

You can drag panels to new locations, move panels into or out of a group, place panels alongside each other, and undock a panel so that it floats in a new window above the application window.

As you rearrange panels, the other panels resize automatically to fit the window.

Undock a panel in a floating window When you undock a panel in a floating window, you can add panels to the window or otherwise modify it, as you do the application window.

You can use floating windows to make use of a secondary monitor, or to create a workspace like those in earlier versions of Adobe applications. Select the panel you want to undock if it s not visible, choose it from the Window menu , and then do one of the following: Choose Undock Panel or Undock Frame from the panel menu.

Undock Frame undocks the panel group. When you release the mouse button, the panel or group appears in a new floating window. Drag the panel or group outside the application window. If the application window is maximized, drag the panel to the Windows task bar.

Resize panel groups When you position the pointer over dividers between panel groups, resize icons appear. When you drag these icons, all groups that share the divider are resized. For example, suppose your workspace contains three panel groups stacked vertically. If you drag the divider between the bottom two groups, they are resized, but the topmost group doesn t change.

Do not press Shift. Press the tilde key again to return the panel to its original size. The pointer becomes a double-arrow. To resize in both directions at once, position the pointer at the intersection between three or more panel groups.

Page 17 Adobe Audition stores each sample in sequence until you stop recording.

When you play a file in Adobe Audition, the process happens in reverse. Adobe Audition sends a series of digital samples to the sound card. The card reconstructs the original waveform and sends it as an analog signal through Line Out ports to your speakers.

Page Chapter 3: Workflow And Workspace With the integrated environment of Adobe Audition, you can move seamlessly between these views, simultaneously editing and mixing files to create polished, professional audio. This integrated environment extends to Adobe video applications, where you can easily incorporate Adobe Audition into comprehensive video-editing workflows.

To create a sonic collage, combine pasted audio from multiple files. Then, select noise or other audio you want to process with effects. When you create a new session, you specify the sample rate for audio clips the session will contain. In Multitrack View, edits are impermanent for maximum flexibility.

But if you want to permanently edit a clip, simply double-click it to enter Edit View.

Edit View and Multitrack View use different editing methods, and each has unique advantages.

Edit View uses a destructive method, which changes audio data, permanently altering saved files. Such permanent changes are preferable when converting sample rate and bit depth, mastering, or batch processing. Multitrack View uses a nondestructive method, which is impermanent and instantaneous, requiring more processing power, but increasing flexibility. This flexibility is preferable when gradually building and reevaluating a multilayered musical composition or video soundtrack. You can combine destructive and nondestructive editing to suit the needs of a project.

If a multitrack clip requires destructive editing, for example, simply double-click it to enter Edit View. Likewise, if an edited waveform contains recent changes that you dislike, use the Undo command to revert to previous states destructive edits aren t applied until you save a file. For more information about Edit View, see Editing audio files on page 65; for more information about Multitrack View, see Mixing multitrack sessions. In Multitrack View, double-click an audio clip to open it in Edit View.
