How to organize assets in Adobe Audition

I've been exporting my Premiere Pro sessions to Audition for mixing and have liked the flexibility of what Audition can do.  But I've also been completely baffled by how one organizes assets in an efficient way (such as using folders or bins like in After Effects or Premiere).  I'm only editing a :60 trailer and I'm getting lost trying to find the files I need.  I can't imagine trying to do audio-post on a short film (or god forbid any kind of feature) if this option doesn't exist.  I've googled around and have found people asking this questions since 2009, with none of them answered.
Sometimes this sort of thing happens and I'm pleasantly surprised that there's an easy option I somehow missed.
Often times, I'm convinced that if Adobe built automobiles like it makes software, the cars would have no turn signals or headlights.
I'm afraid we have a "headlight" moment here.  Please, someone prove me wrong.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, the over-arching project, and the organisation of assets into bins is the making of Premiere.  All the audio files I use in my Premiere projects have been edited in Audition, using the round trip method from within Premiere.  With care I can put the extracted audio files from Premiere within my Windows folder structure for the video project.  Left to itself, Audition puts them in an obscure corner of my User folder within the Windows installation - the last thing I want in there is multi-megabyte audio files.
I have often wondered how you guys who work primarily with audio and no attached video cope with project organisation.  Even with my Premiere based use of Audition, a project/"bin" based structure for Audition would be very useful.  This is because I extract the audio from all my video files, and then work exclusively in Audition.  Finally, when the audio edit is done, I import my nice clean audio files back into Premiere.

  • How to sync settings in Adobe Audition

    Hi all.
    I am an Adobe Audition CC user on Mac. I've just bought a new Mac (hooray!) and want to sync over all of my workspaces, preferences, presets etc.
    I know that there's a specific button to do this in some CC apps, but I can't seem to find it in Audition. Is it just not possible? Is there a manual way?
    Or am I just being stupid...?
    Help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Will

    The Prefs Sync isn't an Audition feature at this time, but it's not too difficult to migrate your existing preferences.
    On the old system, open Finder and click Go in the menu.
    Hold down OPTION to see "hidden" folders and click on Library.
    Open Adobe > Audition and copy the "6.0" folder.
    On your new system, repeat the first two steps, but in the third step, copy the "6.0" folder into the Audition folder, overwriting the default.

  • How do I install VSTi in Adobe Audition CC?

    I've been trying to follow some tutorials, but they all seem to be really old. As it is now, my Audio Plug-In Manager can't find anything at all, including the .dll files that were provided at installation. What I want to do is install some VSTi and use them with a MIDI keyboard, which seems to be possible in recent versions of Adobe Audition - but I can't find much information on how. I can't tell if the files I try to install are just not compatible, because the Audio Plug-In Manager won't register anything at all.
    Any help on how to use VSTi with Adobe Audition CC would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply!
    I guess I will go back to Reaper for my VSTi needs.
    Thanks again, good to have it clarified.

  • How To Extend Adobe Audition CS5.5

    I've received a number of questions on how to extend Adobe Audition with questions similar to:
    How do I import file format X?
    How do I import a project from application Y?
    Will there be an SDK available?
    How do I add plug-ins to Audition?
    I had made a post similar to this in the public beta of Audition for Mac, but I can no longer find the thread. So I'll reiterate some stuff here:
    Area
    Info
    Adding VST Plug-Ins
    Most of you have found this already, but the best place to start is in the Audio Plug-In Manager
    If you want to "write" new plug-ins for Audition, writing a VST plug-in will be the best option as it will allow you to write something that will work on Windows as well as OSX.  Info on writing a VST plug-in may be found here (http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developer.html)
    Adding Audio Unit Plug-Ins (Mac OSX)
    Same as Above.   Note that OSX ships with some built-in AU plug-ins that Audition can utilize for free if you just scan at least once.   We don't scan on startup because there's several plug-ins out there in the world that don't behave well.  Info on Audio Unit plug-in development can be found here (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/AudioUnitProgr ammingGuide/TheAudioUnit/TheAudioUnit.html)
    Adding more import formats via libsndfile
    libsndfile is an open-source C library for reading and writing audio files (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/)   Ambitious people could download the source, write support for another format, and create their own custom-rolled library of libsndfile.  You would then replace the version of libsndfile with which Audition CS5.5 ships, with the one you rolled.   Due to the way we use libsndfile, any format you add would show up in Audition.   This is also true if there's an official update to libsndfile that comes out in the future, you could just plop it in and it should work. 
    If you're interested in exporting or writing formats that libnsdfile supports, please tell us which formats are the most important to you and in what way you use them in your workflow.
    Adding more import formats via QuickTime components
    QuickTime has the ability to be extended via QuickTime Components.   There's several examples out there, but here are some websites to check out:
    QuickTime Components (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html)
    Learn about even more QuickTime capabilities (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html)
    Flip4Mac for Windows Media support on OSX (http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm)
    Perian -- the swiss-army knife for QuickTime (http://perian.org/)
    Calibrated Software (http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/products.asp)
    In most cases, just adding the various QuickTime components will automatically add the import functionality to Audition.
    Importing project formats from other applications
    As seen on other threads in this forum, Ses2sesx (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/ses2sesx.html) and AATranslator (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/) seem to add quite a bit of support.
    SDK
    At this time, we haven't released an SDK for Audition.   If you're interested in one, however, please tell us what you would want from an SDK for Audition and we'll take it into consideration.

    Charles,
    could you please also advise what PC users can do to make common avi files useable in AA CS5.5? The obvious problem is, no matter how many exotic video formats a PC can play by way of video-for-windows codecs, these are useless for Quicktime, because Quicktime on the PC needs codecs specifically written for "Quicktime for Windows", which are, as I've come to find, EXTREMELY rare. So far I've only found ONE, sold by 3ivx, but this costs as much as the AA CS5.5 update itself. Without them, Quicktime on the PC will only handle mov files, which are not too popular on the PC. Is there any other way out of this?

  • How do I get the names of tracks I type in Adobe Audition 3 to copy to the Sony CD-RW CRX217E in myD

    How do I get the names of tracks I type in Adobe Audition 3 to copy to the Sony CD-RW CRX217E in my Dell Precision Workstation 670?
    I have recorded 10 tracks of voice with music using Adobe Audition 3 and Sony CD-RW CRX217E with no problem.
    The problem is, however, that the names I type in Audition 3 for each of the tracks and artist do not copy to the CD I have recorded. This means that when I play the tracks on any playback equipment that shows the names of the tracks and artists, etc. all that appears on the screen is the track number, such as Track 1, Track 2, etc.
    I am using a Dell Precision Workstation 670
    Inter®Xeon
    CPU3.2GHz
    3.19GHz,2.00GB RAM
    SYSTEM
    Professional x64 Edition

    Well, there is one possibility, but I can't absolutely confirm this. I had a look at the specification for the drive on the Dell website:
    http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/P89087/en/index.htm
    and nowhere does it say that the drive supports CD-Text, I'm afraid. Even though all drives can in theory write this, a lot have the header hard-coded, and simply can't. Yours may be one of them, but I think you'll have to ask Dell to confirm this.

  • In adobe audition cc how do i edit my audio stereo in waveform

    in adobe audition cc how do i edit my audio stereo in waveform i dont know where i tried everywhere please help 

    To expand on what ryclark says, you have to set the sample rate on your sound card or audio interface.  If you're just using the onboard sound chip, that'll be on the Sound menu on the control panel.  For that, go to the Playback Device menu, select your device, then properties, then Advanced.  There'll be a drop down menu listing the available sample rates you can choose.  You then have to do the same on the Recording Devices tab, at this has to match what you set on playback.  Finally, you have to make sure that Audition (Edt/Preferences/Audio Hardware) is set to the same as your sound card.
    If you have a specialist sound card, the setting will probably be in software you installed when you hooked that up.
    Note that you're unlikely to find ANY sound card or audio interface that can use 20,000Hz as a sample rate though.
    My normal advice if you need a low sample rate for some reason is to do your work at one of the standards (say 44,100 or 48,000) then convert the finished product.  I know that some things like answering machines want lower sample rates.  However, even this method won't give you 20,000.  The presets in Audition jump from 16,000 to 22,050 which are standards in the industry.
    Perhaps if you can explain why you want to use 20,000 Hz sampling?

  • How to transfer adobe audition to a new laptop?

    Hi,
    In 2005 I purchased a genuine license of Adobe Audition 1.5 and installed it on a laptop. I would like to
    1) update to version 3
    2) move it to a new laptop (that I'm going to buy).
    I got all the ref. no., card, date, time of my purchase but I didn't understand how to update. I found the cost of the update is 99 USD but I can't understand if I can move it to a new laptop. I do not need to keep the old version working. I do not want to have 2 copies of the s/w working. I just want to move to a new hardware as the old one is becoming very unstable and obsolete.
    Is it possible? If yes, how to do that?
    regards,

    My understanding of this is that if you purchase the upgrade version, it will ask you for the serial number of your previous version (or to insert the install disk if you have one?) before proceeding to install. And it would do this every time you did it. What you also have to be aware of is that on AA3.0 there is also a separate activation process which is normally carried on on line (but can also be carried out over the phone, I believe) which effectively registers that particular installation as 'belonging' to the machine it's on - and you can do this twice for the particular copy you have. The good thing about this particular activation process is that if you need to, you can also de-activate a copy, which means that you can easily transfer it to another machine if you want.
    You can install 1.5 on your new machine anyway, and use this installation as the upgrade 'key' if you like - and a lot of people actually do this, simply because for a lot of functionality 1.5 is fine, and rather more efficient. So they effectively use both versions for different things. Adobe have fortunately continued the old Syntrillium concept of all versions being able to co-exist with each other, so there are no down-sides to this arrangement at all.

  • How do you setup adobe audition 3.0 to record vocal?

    hi,
    I just bought some equipment for recording vocal but have no idea how to setup adobe audition 3.0 to actually pickup sound from my mic.
    So i have my microphone connecting to the interface which connects to my computer.
    Microphone: Audio Technica AT2020 XLR cord
    Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB connection
    The M-Audio fast track pro CD was useless, it said it wouldnt install on my Vista 32bit so I just downloaded the vista 32bit driver which worked perfect. I also downloaded the ASIO4ALL v2 driver since my computer only has an intergrated soundcard. (Realtek High Definition Audio, Screaming Bee Audio) I dont know why there is 2. But i have no idea how to get audition working and pick up sound. I went into audio hardware setup and clicked the ASIO4ALL v2 driver in Edit view tab, multitrack view and surround encoder but still no sound picked up. Ill post up some pictures of how it looks. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    I also tried choosing the M-Audio USB ASIO option but it wont let me
    sorry for being so stupid, I'm a beginner to all this and is still learning so please don't be too harsh on me.

    I use a different model of M-Audio interface so I don't know if this applies to the Fast Track Pro, but...
    I've noticed that mine can be fussy about the order of power up and if I boot the computer then connect the interface, Windows doesn't always detect it's presence.  I now have a switch on procedure that I follow without thinking:  I turn on the audio interface, make sure it's connected to the PC and only then boot the PC.  This seems to make sure the M-Audio device is always detected.
    Although I have Asio4All installed, I just use the M-Audio drivers.  Make sure the drivers you want are selected in the Audio Hardware setup window, then go through and then select your inputs in Edit and Multitrack windows.

  • Adobe Audition 3.0 and Pinnacle 700 USB - How to record audio from VHS tapes???

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to Adobe Audition 3.0. I need your help.
    Actually I am having a old Pinnacle 700 USB capture card. I want to record some audio in my computer by Adobe Audition.
    I downloaded and installed required driver for Pinnacle 700 USB (for Vista).
    But when I tried to capture audio from my VHS tapes, It not showing proper options. I don't know how to proceed further.
    Could any one please help me... Please let me know what all I need to do.
    Waiting for your helpful suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Yash

    The Pinnacle is a video capture device and as such captures the video and audio into one MPEG or DV stream. Audition can't see it as an audio card and therefore can't capture audio directly from your video source. However once you have captured a video file using the Pinnacle you can probably get to the audio by using the Open Audio from Video command in the File menu in Audition.

  • Is there any alternative vst plugins for adobe audition similar to Vocalign or how to install vocalign?

    I'm pretty sure it works for it but i can't get it to load when i install it in a folder and update my plugins through adobe audition. Anyone know how? or anyone know an alternative to that plugin, a plugin that aligns two takes of a the same vocal to make the timing correct?
    I know some exist but i can never get one to work perfect with adobe audition.

    There's a perfectly good solution built into Audition CS6 and CC - you don't need a plugin at all.
    In Multitrack, go to Clip, and you'll find a menu item called Automatic Speech Aligner. It's meant to work with speech only (as they all are) but in fact it works pretty well with sung vocals. I'd give that a go first before looking for any other solution.
