• Select Left/Right Cut (logarithmic) to pan left by reducing the volume of the right channel,
Stereo Panning Mode
and pan right by reducing the left channel volume. The channel being panned to doesn't increase in volume as
panning gets closer to 100%. Or select Equal-Power Sinusoidal to pan left and right channels with equal power, so
that a hard pan left has the same loudness as both channels together. This results in an increase of 3 dB RMS on the
channel being panned to when at 100%.
To override the default panning mode for a specific session, see "Mixing properties for sessions" on page 210.
Note: Because Equal-Power Sinusoidal panning can make one channel louder than the original waveform, audible
clipping can occur in 16-bit sessions. To avoid this, work in the 32-bit realm.
Contains options governing the resolution and dithering of multitrack sessions.
Audio Mix Down

Determines the bit resolution for the Edit > Bounce To Track command. Regardless of the
Bounce Bit Depth
session format (16-bit or 32-bit), you can bounce audio at either 16-bit or 32-bit quality with this option. The default
is 16-bit.
• Select this option if the bit depth for mix down is lower than the bit depth of the session audio.
Enable Dither
• Opens another dialog box with three options for dithering 16-bit mix downs: Dither Depth (in

on both sides of the selection, the end points are at different amplitudes. This often results in an audible pop or click

Smooth Auto-Scrolling During Playback
default, Adobe Audition uses a paging method of scrolling in Multitrack View instead of the smooth scrolling
technique used in Edit View. This saves on system resources.
