Specifies how the input device sends 32-bit audio data to Adobe
Get 32-bit Audio
Audition. If supported by the recording device, you can send 32-bit audio as 3-byte Packed
PCM, 4-byte PCM, or 4-byte IEEE float.
Specifies the delay time (or latency) that the device introduces during
Multitrack Latency
recording. Many sound cards allow for monitoring input source signals with no latency.
However, if you notice that tracks are out of sync, it is probably because one of the devices
you used for recording introduced latency. Once you determine how out of sync a particular
device gets, you can enter the number of milliseconds to delay a track's playback in
relationship to all other tracks' playback to achieve synchronization.
Removes any detected DC bias when recording.

About using MIDI devices
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a way of communicating
performance information from one piece of software or hardware to another. This perfor-
mance information can take the simple shape of a note instruction, as in E4, or it can
transmit detailed information on things such as timing or sound patch data. Windows
provides a way of transmitting MIDI information internally between programs, plus you
can transmit MIDI information into and out of your computer to or from external devices
(such as a MIDI Keyboard) through the MIDI port of a sound card, or other MIDI
interface device.
