Opening and adding to sessions in Multitrack View

Create a new session
Session files contain no audio data themselves. Instead, they are small files that point to other audio files on the hard
drive. A session file keeps track of which files are a part of the session, where they are inserted, which envelopes and
effects are applied, and so on.
1 Choose File > New Session.
Select a sample rate that your sound card supports. (To determine supported sample rates, consult the documen-
2
tation for the card.)
Note: All files added to a session must share the sample rate. If you attempt to import files with different sample rates,
Adobe Audition prompts you to resample them, which may lower audio quality.
(Optional) Select Use Default Session to use that session as a template. (See "Set or clear a default session" on
3
page 47.)
Click OK.
