    Save a waveform edit session?

    Joe Riggs Community Member

      Hello,

       

      On CS5.5, about a week ago, I imported a audio file, added a bunch of effects and exported. Now, I have a similar file that I'd like to apply the exact same treatment. However, I can't seem to find my audition project file. I must have pressed saved at some point and I obviously exported the file at the end. Now, I was working with just the waveform editor and not in multitrack session. Just now I tried to save a wavform edit session and all it offers is a save as option that exports the audio file. What I'd like is to save the project file, so I may open it up at a later date.  

       

      Is it true you can only save a multitrack session and not when you're working on a single file?

          In Waveform/Edit View, because you can work on only one file at a time (more can be "listed" in the file window but only one can be "open") there is no "project" as such to save, only the individual files.

           

          In Multitrack you can have virtually any number of files "open" and allocated to tracks.  To save those tracks and ALL their associated files in the place on the track where you have chosen to put each one does need a "project" file (or, as AA calls it a "session" file) to be saved along with all the individual audio files.

            As previously explained, there's no project file to be saved in this mode. But, if you think that this might happen again, try putting all the effects into the effects rack, getting it to sound the way you want there, and then saving the rack settings as a preset. You would then be able to apply it to another file.
