Waveform Editing
Waveform Editing is for editing single audio files- .mp3, .wav, .aiff, etc. It is a form of Destructive Editing. When changes are made to the waveform file they also permanently alter the original file. Waveform Editing is useful for a Fade In or Fade Out, Normalizing, simple Editing, and converting sound files from Stereo to Mono. Waveform Editing provides a visualization of the audio file's Sound Waves.
Open a File
- Choose the Waveform Mode at top left of the Audition Panel.
- Under the Audition Main Menu select File > Open File > and select your audio file. PKF files are visualizations of the sound waves. Do not import these files into Audition.
- The audio file should appear in the File Window with its name and duration.
- The audio file can be dragged from the File Window into the Waveform Timeline to begin editing.
- If the audio file is a Stereo Recording the Left Track will be displayed on top of the Right Track.
- Each track can be independently disabled by clicking either the L and R or 1 and 2 boxes corresponding to the tracks on the far right end of the timeline.
Normalize
Normalizing your audio file is the application of a constant amount of Gain to an audio recording to bring the average or peak amplitude to a target level.
To Normalize your audio file:
- Under the Audition Main Menu select Favorites > Normalize to -0.1dB or to Normalize to -3dB, depending on how average peak amplitude change is necessary.
Editing
To isolate a Specific Clip from larger audio file for editing:
- Hold down the right cursor on the mouse, dragging it over the desired audio for the new clip.
- Once the desired clip is highlighted in the Waveform Timeline go to the Audition Main Menu and select Edit > Copy to New
To edit Volume of a Specific Clip in a larger audio file:
- Hold down the right cursor the mouse, dragging it over the desired audio.
- Once the desired clip is highlighted, use the Amplify panel that appears on top of with clip. Before any changes are applied the icon will read +0dB.
- By dragging the mouse over this icon, the amplitude can either be increased, by dragging to the right, or decreased, by dragging to the left.
- This change in Amplitude will only be applied to the highlighted selection.
To edit Volume of an Entire Audio File:
Fade In and Fade Out
Stereo to Mono
Converting Stereo to Mono takes the audio recording from two channels to one channel.
To convert from Stereo to Mono:
- Under the Audition Main Menu select Favorites > Convert to Mono
