How do I ask a question in this community, once I'm logged in.

And how come I can't figure out how to fade audio in Audition version 4.0.

It shouldn't be this hard to figure out.

JD

Thanks for the reply.

In Audition 3.0 I would just highlight audio and click effects/amplify/fade.

In Audition 4.0 I can’t find anything like that, and even when I click on volume envelope, and read all the “Help” topics on Adobe’s site, I still can’t do a simple fade out, or fade in, of audio?

Sincerely,

JD

Thanks.

Does this information below apply to version 4.0 which I’m asking about too?

Thanks Durin!

Ps I read I’m supposed to save my Audition 3.0 .ses files, as .hml, so I can open them in the new Audition versions...

But when I click “save as” and use that drop down box, the only option it gives me is multitrack.ses???

Also, is there a way in 4.0 to get it to only play what’s on screen, instead of continuing to scross.

I did disable the scrolling feature in preferences.

JD

I guess I’d better download that.

How do I use it?

Anyway, all I click from an open multitrack .ses file is:

File/save session as…and then in the “save as type” it defaults to the ONLY option and has no .hml option.

Thanks much for your helpful replies!

See you haven't figured out how to start a new thread yet, despite my very simple instructions... it's on the right at the top.

1.       When I remove an audio clip using ripple delete it moves the other clips on that same track, how to avoid this?

Well it would! That's what it's supposed to do! If you don't want the rest of the clips to move, just use Delete, not Ripple Delete. It's a right-click option if you highlight the clip, or just highlight and hit the 'Delete' key.

2.       Likewise, when I insert a clip into multi-track, sometimes it puts it on a brand new track by itself, how can I avoid this? And how to I remove a blank multi-track?

Easiest way to put clips exactly where you want them is to pick them up with the mouse, drag them and place them. If you have a blank track you want to get rid of, then highlight it, and go to Multitrack>Track>Delete selected track. Alternatively, highlight and go Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

3.       Is there a way to remove that left meter area that takes up so much space, with the mute and 'default stereo' and all that stuff I rarely if ever use?

Not really, no. If you shrink the box, it only shrinks from the left, not the right (click on the junction between the track and the box to do this). Unfortunately this means that the useful information in the text boxes shrinks, and the meter remains.

4.       Is it possible set multi-track to only play what is hi-lighted, rather than continuing on?

 

5.       Lastly, some clips that are short/small are very hard to grab in multi-track, and these red brackets show up, when I'm trying to grab the file to slide it, (what's that for, and how can I disable that, so I can slide tiny files around, easier?)

 

If you highlight a section and hit the loop playback button (two along from the play button) you won't stop playback, but it won't continue through the session, repeating from the start again when it finishes. In multitrack, there are no other options.

As for the short clips problem, I suggest zooming in on them. Ctrl-scroll will scroll them in and out horizontally very rapidly, with the scroll centred on where the cursor (not the CTI) is.
