PrefaceMy first introduction to Adobe Audition was when a friend showed me how thesoftware could remove a precise section of sound from within an audio filewithout affecting the surrounding areas. Since that time, I have used Audition onmany feature films for cleaning up dialogues, removing dog barks, bird chatter,camera noises and many other sounds that no other software currently availablecan accomplish. Audition 2.0 is also a very efficient audio editing application touse when time is limited; it can breeze through many complex editing tasks in ashort space of time.The goal of this book is to get you up-to-speed as quickly as possible usingall the tools that Adobe Audition 2.0 has to offer. Throughout this book thereare diagrams accompanying the text to ensure that you understand all theprocedures. Whether you are a complete novice or have a background in soundthis book is for you. If you are using the Adobe Production Studio, whichincludes Premier Pro 2.0, After Effects 7, Encore 2.0; then getting familiar withAudition 2.0 will reinvent the way you work with audio within the ProductionStudio Collection. The integration between the Production Studio product linesmakes the use of Audition easier than ever before.Adobe Audition 2.0 is Adobe’s main professional quality audio editing softwareapplication. It has a number of great functions including advanced restorationtools; fast editing functionality; a mastering rack with studio quality effects plugins; over 5000 loopology music content files to create complex music beds; lowlatency mixing engine with ASIO soundcard support throughout; and surroundsound mixing capabilities. Video files can be imported into the Audition 2.0timeline, and sound effects can be spotted with frame accuracy using both thethumbnail and main video monitor view. Audio files can be burnt directly to CD,and your files will be automatically converted to the correct format for this. You arealso able to group normalise files to make sure all CD tracks are the same level.I hope you enjoy reading this easy guide and that it will increase yourknowledge and give you new skills for working with Adobe Audition 2.0.Antony Brownxi

SET UPany specific file types you don’t want Audition to open, then deselect them;otherwise press OK.File association on loading the softwareNote: If you have the Adobe Production Studio Premium edition software, whichincludes Audition 2.0, Premier Pro 2, After FX 7, Encore 2, Photoshop CS2 andIllustrator CS2, the one serial number supplied will load the whole collection. Or youcan select individual components of the production studio collection (Audition2.0 Functional content) to load on your system.Project SetupAdobe Audition 2.0 will prompt you to set temporary folders on your drive touse. As Audition is dealing heavily with audio, it is best to use a separate driveif available for overall efficiency. When ready, go ahead and press OK andAudition 2 will open.3
THE FOCAL EASY GUIDE TO ADOBE AUDITION 2.0Setting Up the Device HardwareAudition 2.0 now supports ASIO compatible sound cards for optimised lowlatency performance and audio scrubbing. It also works with any Windowscompatible soundcard, although latency performance will be reduced. Inputsand outputs for Edit View, Multitrack and Surround Encoder View are set fromthis window. Depending on the physical layout of your soundcard, differentinput and output port configurations can be set for each of the three mainviews within Audition.To set up your audio hardware within Adobe Audition 2.0:1Choose Edit Audio Hardware Set up2Select the Edit View tab3Select appropriate ASIO soundcard from the Audio Drive dropdown menu4Set the input and output ports5Repeat process for Multi-track and Surround Encoder Views.Note: The ‘Release ASIO Driver in Background’ button releases the soundcard fromAudition 2.0, so that other ASIO programs can use the soundcard device to playaudio while Audition is open in the background. Highlighting Audition willre-allocate the soundcard back to Audition for playback – as long as the otherapplication releases its ASIO driver too.4
SET UPLatencyLatency in basic terms means the time it takes for sound to travel in and outof your computer via the soundcard. The standard Buffer Size setting of mostonboard computer audio soundcards is around 2048, samples which result in alag or delay in playback. An example of this would be talking into a microphoneplugged into your computer soundcard and hearing a delay when monitoringLatency: time it takes for sound to pass from Microphone –Computer soundcard – Speakers5

Using Audition with an ASIO driversupported soundcard will allow you to directly monitor your input signal whilerecording with very low latency, sometimes known as ‘zero latency’.Preferences/key CommandsPreferencesUnder the Edit Preferences tab you have a number of options to fine-tune theway you use Audition 2.0, including: Display and colour scheme Memory use The amount of times you can use ‘undo’ Auto save – timed amount to save your project External controllers – assigning external mixer controllers i.e. Mackie Control Temporary audio folders – setting the Hard Drive space available.Keyboard ShortcutsThe keyboard shortcut settings are another method for customising the wayyou work.
