Automating Common Tasks - Adobe 22011292 - Audition - PC Using Instruction

USING ADOBE AUDITION
Editing audio files
•
Light is flat up to 14 kHz, ramps noise up to a maximum at 17kHz, and is again flat at higher frequencies.
Neutral
Background noise sounds the same as it does without noise shaping but is about 11dB quieter.
Heavy is flat up to 15.5kHz, placing all dithering noise above 16kHz (or wherever you specify the crossover). Sensitive
ears may hear a high pitched ringing if the crossover is too low. If converting 48 or 96 kHz audio, however, the
crossover can be placed well above 20 kHz.
Choose a Neutral shape to avoid sonically coloring background hiss. Note, however, that hiss will sound louder than
with other shapes.
• Shallow is mostly flat from 2 kHz up to 14 kHz but gets louder as audio approaches 0 Hz because low
U-Shaped
frequencies are much less audible. Medium places a little more noise in the highs above 9 kHz, allowing for lower noise
below that frequency. Deep increases noise above 9 kHz even more, but also lowers it much more in the 2-6 kHz range.
•
Light attempts to match how the ear perceives low-level sounds by reducing noise more in the 2-6 kHz
Weighted
range and raising it in the 10-14 kHz range. At high volumes, hiss may be more noticeable. Heavy more evenly reduces
the most sensitive 2-6KHz range at the expense of more noise above 8kHz.
Specifies the frequency above which noise shaping will occur.
Crossover
Specify the maximum amplitude of noise added to any one frequency.
Strength
Varies the distribution of noise across frequencies.
Adaptive Mode
Use sample rate conversion presets
If you need to make the same conversion on multiple files, you can save time by using a sample rate conversion preset.
Choose Edit > Convert Sample Type.

3 Click the New Preset button
After you create a preset, it appears in the Presets list at the top of the dialog box. If you want to delete a preset, choose
it from the list, and click the Delete button

Automating common tasks

Note: Some features in the Windows version of Adobe Audition 3.0 are not available in CS5.5. Examples include
advanced scripting, CD burning, MIDI, the metronome, some file formats and effects, and control surface support. For a
complete list, see Adobe Audition 3.0 features replaced or not implemented in
Favorites
Favorites are combinations of effects, fades, and amplitude adjustments that you can save and quickly reapply to any
file or selection in the Waveform Editor. The Favorites menu lists some defaults to get you started, plus any additional
favorites you create.
To assign favorites to keyboard shortcuts, see
Create a favorite from a combination of adjustments
In the Waveform Editor, choose Favorites > Start Recording Favorite.
