Mike: Another masterful tutorial of Adobe Audition.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you so much Greg!

[@cleopete1]

Thanks, good tutorial, though I take exception to any love for Apple's "Magic" Mouse, which is a truly ill conceived piece of hardware, which could never have been seriously considered for human use. The Logitech MX Master series is just as expensive, but fits the hand better and has a horizontal scroll wheel right where the thumb can use it. It also comes with Adobe pre-sets.

[@josephmiller6677]

This was such a good introduction to my audio questions, especially dealing with over-clipped sound and wind noise. Thanks so much!

Thanks Michelle. Bear in mind while we can improve both of these issues they're also issues we should be aiming to minimise at source to get the very best quality audio 👍

I’m a voice over actress and thinking of switching to Adobe Audition because I’ve been having problems with Logic Pro lately, and I need my workflow to be simple so I can focus on performance instead. (Logic is more complicated than I really need.) Thank you SO much for this! This is so helpful! I even have the same audio interface. 😂

[@MikeRussell]

I’d recommend either setting up your own template or checking out mrc.fm/presets as either of these will speed up your own workflow.

[@philipomale6792]

I really want to appreciate you for the tutorials you provided it has allowed me to produce good sound recording as an armature but now a better. however i really need an audio interface, just cant afford it. wish i could.

[@TheStoneWhisperer]

Don't let that stop you. I believe the microphone is your greatest friend. Have a look at the Blue mics, several models provide some unique sounds for your voice. I use the snowball which offers a really nice warm sound. They are all direct USB plug and play without an interface and sound great! I think the phantom amps and interfaces are great for intermediate to advanced users, but are just not critical enough for beginners like me.

You are BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for this. I have had audition downloaded to my computer for a LONG time (I already had it because we use illustrator and have the plan with all the apps) and had been terrified to use it. Audacity keeps crashing on me, or I lose audio and I had finally had enough! Today was the day- but I opened it up and felt so overwhelmed. I don’t feel overwhelmed anymore, and think I have a pretty good handle on it!. Now I just need to figure out how to install my RX plugins and I’ll be good!

[@Bobw1954]

Nice one mike

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks

[@marglaing]

thank you! brilliantly succinct. 🙌Now I need the same for how to use Audition to do sound for a little video... 😸

[@MikeRussell]

In Premiere Pro you can export your audio to be edited in Audition.

[@marglaing]

@@MikeRussell I don't have Premiere Pro. I have been given piece of film and a bunch of sound files. The film has rough audio on it, but I need to recreate the audio. Match up good quality vocal tracks and create the sound design.

[@MikeRussell]

In that case I would suggest opening the video in Audution and wokring on the audio there. When you're done export as a wav file and import that into the video in your video editing software, muting out the original audio.

[@marglaing]

@@MikeRussell ok brilliant, thanks!

[@brandonwilbert4463]

Wow! AMAZING! Could you show to record with minus one music?

[@MikeRussell]

You mean how to set up a mix minus? That differs depending on your audio set up.

[@MikeRussell]

Check out my video on making your voice sound better. It outlines a step-by-step sequence of effects to improve your sound!

[@MTank7879]

Totally Awesome !I hope these would be covered in the next part : aligning clips to bpm in multitrack some of the effects in detail (especially dynamics processing) a list of changes of controls and UI from cs6 till now. My friend had a hard copy of a cs6 production course from Udemy (I believe it's old but I watched it anyway) and I found the shortcuts and the interface were a lot different from the CC version. I hope you don't mind doing a complete section for controls and shortcuts 😃

[@MikeRussell]

Hi, if you search through the channel most of what you’re looking for has already been covered in past videos. Hope this helps.

[@MTank7879]

@@MikeRussell Wow Thanks !

[@MikeRussell]

[@cardermedia]

I just starting playing around with Audition today. I followed your instructions here, but when I saved the session, it's dumped loads of files everywhere that I don't know what they mean or do. A ( AU Tracks) Audio folder, a /pkf file, loads of 'Audio Extracted.wav' files everywhere. You don't mention the mes Audition leaves when you use it. Have you done a video explaining what all files mean, and how to get back into Audition if you want to make changes? I think I'll stick within Premier for now! lol

[@MikeRussell]

I understand your frustration with the file clutter - I'll definitely consider creating a video explaining the file types and how to manage them in Adobe Audition to make your editing experience smoother!

[@CoryShubert]

For a videographer that is thinking of doing audio edits in Audition, what would the workflow be... do all cutting and editing of the video in whatever NLE but not anything with the audio, then output the final video in a uncompressed format to then import into Audition to do all audio edits before final delivery? Anything I am missing? thanks.

[@MikeRussell]

A lot of what Audition can do can also be achieved in Premiere Pro natively. Alternatively you can use Adobe Dynamic link to work with your video project audio in Audition. One tip I’d share would be to do all the video cuts before linking your audio as any changes to the audio duration made in Audition won’t make the corresponding changes to the video duration.
