User Guide
Specifies a base (or root) note on a sampler that the current audio file is to be assigned to. The audio file's
Note
original pitch will be preserved whenever this key is played on a sampler.
Specifies the actual tone as a number of cents above the Note. You can enter values as precise as 1/100th
Fine Tune
of a cent.
Analyzes the audio file to determine automatically the Note and Fine Tune values. If a sampler
Find Using Analysis
loop is selected in the Sampler Loops list, the frequency at the center of that loop is entered into the Note and Fine
Tune text boxes. If no loops are selected, the center of the entire waveform is used to gain the current note.
Note: The Note and Fine Tune values can be off by a few hundredths of a cent, so you might need to adjust them
manually after the note is found. For example, you might need to adjust G#4 at 99.99 cents to A4 at 0 cents.
Specifies the SMPTE frame rate format for the currently opened sample.
SMPTE Format
Specifies the SMPTE trigger offset point for the currently opened sample. For example, an audio file
SMPTE Offset
for a film soundtrack that needs to be triggered at 45 minutes, 15 seconds, and 29 frames might have a frame rate
setting of 30 frames-per-second with an offset of 00:45:14:29.
Lists sample loops. You can add new loops by first selecting a range of a waveform, and then clicking
Sampler Loops
New in this tab. If no range is selected, click New to add the entire waveform as a new loop. You can also enter the
actual starting point, ending point, and length in the appropriate text boxes.
Samplers can usually play loops forward, backward, or back and forth and back again. Each loop can be looped a
different number of times or infinitely (as with a sustain loop, and the infinite loop would decay once the synth key
is released). This information, however, is saved only in .wav files.
Misc options
The Misc tab of the File Info dialog box lets you assign a .bmp or .dib image to an audio file. This image appears when
you view the audio file's properties in Windows. For best results, choose a 32x32 pixel image.
If Use Default Wave Color is selected, then the color is the same as the one used for your current color scheme (the
color of an unselected waveform in the Edit View wave display). If you want to select a different color, deselect Use
Default Wave Color to open the Waveform Foreground Color dialog box, where you can select another color.
Broadcast Wave options
The Broadcast Wave tab of the File Info dialog box lets you view and edit metadata for broadcast applications.
Important: To include Broadcast Wave metadata in a file, you must save in Windows PCM (.wav) format and select
the Save Extra Non-Audio Information option. For more information, see "Save audio files individually" on page 240.
Specifies that you want to include Broadcast Wave metadata when you save
Include BWF Data When Saving To .Wav
the file in Windows PCM (.wav) format. You must select this option in order to edit any of the other options. If you
deselect this option, Adobe Audition deletes all Broadcast Wave metadata associated with the file when you click OK
to close the dialog box.
