This is true since CS 5.5 and at first I didn’t like that it forces you to create a session somewhere even if, like you say in the podcast, you’re just doing a few quick edits. Also, if you want to jump between multiple waveforms in multitrack you can hit cmd and left or right to do so and the playhead will snap to start and finish until you reach the end.Ĥ.
When I try Home and End on my Mac it takes me to the very end of the audio not workspace. You could simply mixdown your podcast and then run the feature after your post podcast editing to tidy up any silences.Ģ. The feature is under Diagnostics > Delete Silence in Audition but doesn’t appear to work in the multitrack in the present version. There may well be a better way to handle these ideas in Audition but here’s what I’ve come up with:ġ. As the Adobe fanboy here are my responses ? However, I don't let that corrupt my perspective and I don't May receive compensation from your actions through such links.

But this is only for a single track and you have to switch editors.) Check out Podcasters' Roundtable! (Within the wave editor, the paste inserts and shifts. If you have Sync-Lock Tracks enabled, it will even shift the other audio tracks, too.īut if you try this same procedure in Adobe Audition, it replaces any audio you're overlapping on that track in the multitrack editor. When you paste to an insertion point, Audacity shifts the remaining audio. Pasting an audio clip into the middle of another is easy in Audacity. You would have to change the actual audio's speed, and then slow it down again, in order to get this effect. This is a great time-saving trick in Audacity.īut Audition doesn't have any such feature. If you can listen to chipmunk Audio, Audacity has an easy playback speed adjustment that doesn't affect your actual audio, but it plays your audio back faster. But to switch back to just Track 1, you have to unmute it and then either solo it, or mute Track 2. To do the same thing in Audition, you have to switch which tracks are muted. Then solo Track 1 (without unmuting it) and you'll hear just Track 1. In Audacity, you can mute Track 1 and you'll hear Track 2. Imagine you have two audio tracks you're trying to compare. I prefer Audacity's Mute/ Solo switching over Audition's. Want to make a quick audio edit? This is no problem in Audacity because you can launch, import your audio, edit, and export all without ever saving or creating a project file.īut Adobe Audition requires any multitrack project to be saved before you can even stick two tracks together. Audition's multitrack editor is far more powerful, but you still can't actually edit your audio in the same editor. It's all in one place.Īudition has a wave editor for modifying the actual audio, and a multitrack editor for mixing tracks and applying nondestructive effects and edits. You don't have to switch back and forth depending on the edits you want to do. Combined wave and multitrack editorsĪudacity has a single editor it is both multitrack and a wave editor. Pressing End in Audition takes you to the end of the audio workspace, which is often far away from the end of the audio. Just make a selection and press Home for the beginning, or End or the end. Home and End jumpsĪudacity makes it easy to jump to the beginning or end of a selection or of the audio. So if you have multiple tracks for multiple voices, you'll end up with everyone talking at the same time. Audacity can do this across multiple tracks without causing insane overlaps.Īudition can only run its similar feature across a single track. This is an easy way to reduce awkward pauses.
Truncate Silence will find portions of audio that are quieter than a set level, and shorten those areas. I don't regret that decision, but there are 7 more things that I miss now that I'm using Audition. At the end of 2012, I shared 7 reasons why I was switching from Audacity to Adobe Audition.
