This book enables beginners and experienced users of audio editing software to quickly grasp the concepts and techniques used by Adobe Audition to produce audio soundtracks for any application. Along with detailed 'how to' procedures on multitrack recording, digital effects, editing and mastering, this book provides in depth information on the software itself from an established author who is a long term user of the software--from its origins as a shareware wave editor to its latest incarnation as a multitrack recording and editing suite. Adobe Audition is more than a tool for recording and creating jingles, events, effects and soundtracks for any situation--sound technicians and engineers regularly use it as a restoration and archiving tool for cleaning tape or vinyl recordings before remastering to CD or DVD. Adobe Audition is perfect for spoken word or highly sensitive recordings--you can even create sound effects, spooky noises and electronic drum sounds from scratch. And when you are ready to commit, use the detailed explanation of mastering and production techniques to ensure that your Adobe Audition creation sounds just as fresh away from your studio as it did the day you created it.

A project-based book that deals with Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro), included in the Adobe Video Collection, this guide explores creating soundtracks for digital video and demonstrates how to use the software to start recording, editing, and producing immediately. Examined are how to edit, mix, and add built-in effects to AVI soundtracks while watching movie playback, how to clean up poor quality audio with powerful noise reduction tools, and how to use sound effects such as sweetening and mixing. Recording engineers will learn how to customize Audition, record multitrack sessions, transform the multitrack mix into a stereo or surround-sound experience, edit audio files using sample-accurate tools, and mix up to 128 tracks of audio. Working with powerful DSP and analysis tools including DirectX effects is covered, as is importing audio (WAV) files from Adobe Audition into projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects.

When Adobe acquired Syntrillium Software's digital audio editing software Cool Edit Pro, gave it a new name (Audition), and added content-sharing capabilities for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, it filled a big void in its home-studio software lineup. Here, to get you using Audition to create and edit audio tracks for your film, video, and DVD projects, is a self-paced guide from the instructional design experts at Adobe. Through a series of hands-on lessons, this comprehensive volume takes you step by step through Audition's enormous feature set, including its capabilities for recording, mixing, analyzing, looping, editing, and mastering audio. Each lesson builds on the last and includes a project you can create using the files on the accompanying CD. Review questions reinforce what you've learned so that by the end of the volume, you should have a solid mastery of Audition's noise reduction and audio restoration features, sophisticated spectrum and phase--analysis tools, extensive sound-editing capabilities, high-quality effects, and more.
