Envelope Follower

The Envelope Follower varies the output level of one waveform, based on the input level of another. The amplitude map,
or envelope of one waveform (the Analysis wave) is applied to the material of a second waveform (the Process wave),
which results in the second waveform taking on the amplitude characteristics of the first waveform. This lets you, for
example, have a bass guitar line which only sounds when a drum is being hit. In this example you would have the drum
waveform as the Analysis wave, and the bass guitar waveform as the Process wave.
Envelope Follower Dialog
In addition to applying an amplitude envelope to a waveform, you can also alter the dynamic properties of the result with
a variety of settings to otherwise expand, gate, compress, or limit the resulting signal.
To initiate Adobe Audition's Enveloper Follower effect:
Position the wave blocks so that the sections you want to process together are lined up.
•
Make a selection that covers the part of both wave blocks you want to process.
