The easiest audio editing for non-engineers in Adobe Audition

[@Arttective]

I love how excited you are in the video! Your eagerness to share awesome knowledge is commendable!

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks. I'm just an excitable guy. 😄

[@randyarnold9395]

Thanks Colin, quick easy and plain English. Thanks very much.

[@jimallenmultimedia7435]

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos and as a result, I love Audition even more. Crazy.

[@VideoRevealed]

I love Audition too! Thanks for your support.

[@nemomonteflores3890]

Your guided tour through this extraordinary feature is 100 helpful!! Thank you!!

[@VideoRevealed]

You are welcome.

[@gadgetgyre]

I love your work. I would love to see a full tutorial on how to make a perfect voice over for (youtube) videos. Like how you compress the voice, how to make it sound more powerful and bright (full), etc. that would be amazing. Thanks for these amazing videos, you are the man.

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks so much. I think a tutorial like that would be beyond most users because it involves having a good monitoring system and good ears. Most people can't hear the difference when adding compression. I think the best solution is what I show in this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX-6d4l_ncmVbqM Plus, you really have to start with a good recording and so many users skimp on microphones. If you're really interested in great audio, I use Slate Digital for my high end music projects; but that might be overkill for video editors. Slate has an incredible course on audio compression but you really, really have to listen closely to know what's going on. slatedigital.com/ultimate-guide-to-compression/

[@woodbyjeppe]

Thanks man - this fairly quick run-through is going to be a tremendous help for my first sound edit. Thanks from Denmark :D

[@VideoRevealed]

I'm glad you found it useful.

[@diggumjones]

Thanks for a great video, Colin! We're really excited about the Essential Sound panel (ESP for short) and what it can offer novices when it comes to mixing audio. One comment to add is that the different Mix Types - dialogue, music, etc - are each unique modes, and changing a selected clip from one to another will remove the old effects and settings. Of course, you're free to use whatever mix type you want, even if it doesn't accurately reflect the content, but if there's a certain effect you'd like to see added for a mix type, please don't hesitate to let us know.

[@VideoRevealed]

Okay, thanks Durin; I will add an annotation to alert users.

[@derChecker60]

I am new to this channel and must say that you are doing a great job and really helped me. Greetings from Germany :)

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks so much for watching and hello from Canada!

[@paulthelefty]

Wow, that is HUGE! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome.

[@JKJK]

As usual amazing, clear and informativ...thanks

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome.

[@Guruc13]

Coling you're blowing my freaking gourd over here. Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I feel like I can really understand - for the first time - what's really going on with my sound!

[@VideoRevealed]

I'm so happy to hear that.

[@rudolfchristian813]

As always... amazing.. Thanks for sharing..

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome and thanks for your support.

[@GordIsman]

Super video! Colin, can you tell me if there is a way or approach to using essential noise floor effects and apply it to a batch of files at once? For example, I record a batch of clips, all with same ambience and now I want to fix the noise floor in one go?

[@VideoRevealed]

You could process one file and save the settings for whatever effect you use (like reduce noise) then run a Batch Process. Here is a tutorial for my Adobe TV channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYikmWqErZ5se68

[@hamerovv]

Indeed you are an amazing guy asa R Zoz wrote . You are so generous for investing this time for our needs. No words to thank you. You helped and are helping so much to guys like myself who know nothing about video and audio and still want to use it. I was happy to see your passion and excitement in this video.Thanks. Thanks. Thanks

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome and thanks so much for the kind words.

[@hvmzaxib]

i really need this video thanks so much i was using fl studio as a multi track mixer

[@VideoRevealed]

That's great to hear. Audition is fantastic for multitrack editing.

[@hvmzaxib]

again thank you and good luck

[@FlyOnWall2]

Simply amazing . This will save me tons of time editing podcasts.

[@VideoRevealed]

Yay! That's great to hear.

[@henniibrahim6354]

you're an amazing guy !!

[@VideoRevealed]

Oh thanks!

[@stilmotionpicture]

wow!! thanks for this Colin! ive always thought audition is overwhelming program thats probably will takes months to learn? with the new update it simplifies many many things! its very similar to the Premiere Pro's Lumetri color where its all sliders now for color correcting/grading, in Audition is the same but editing Audio!!! awesome awesome! Im pretty good with Premiere pro, I would like to see a tutorials on working with audio using dynamic linking with Audition? otherwise a great tutorials on working with audio with Premiere pro.

[@VideoRevealed]

Dynamic link only works one way: from Premiere Pro to Audition and only for the video, not the audio. All audio editing between Premiere Pro and Audition has to be rendered. Dynamic Link is a "headless" version of either Premiere Pro or After Effects, but not Audition. They are working on how to better connect Audition and Premiere Pro, so stay tuned in the future.

[@ichifish]

Great tutorial -exactly what I needed. This should be posted on the Adobe Support site -so much better than what they have.

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks so much Josh.

[@MarcoPerri]

Really helpful video! Thanks a ton man :)

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome.

[@MrSnooooze]

Great Stuff thanks again Col

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome.

[@timyeah]

thank you best channel for learning

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks so much.

[@zsolteditor]

Very good tutorial thx for that but the noise reduction is just not that good. Izotope RX 6 does the best job as far as i tested. Any tutorial on that?

[@VideoRevealed]

RX is pretty amazing for sure. I don't have any tutorials on it, sorry.

[@bittersweetkark]

Thank you so much!!!

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome Vanessa.

[@Synsere_Lyfe]

how do I fix latency in Adobe Audition I have a blue yeti

[@VideoRevealed]

Go to the Preferences> Audio Hardware and change the buffer settings there. A smaller buffer size equals less latency.

[@ruedrolet]

Colin, thanks for an other excellent tutorial; informative, concise, and fun to watch! In my opinion, these could be *even more* effective if you provided the media files so that students could follow along with you exact steps. Ever considered this?

[@VideoRevealed]

I can't always do that for licensing reasons. I will be offering media in the future to anyone who supports VideoRevealed via PayPal. I need to give these wonderful folks something for all their support.

[@darius70]

What's the latest version of Adobe Audition?

[@VideoRevealed]

2015.2.1 Build 9.2.1.19

[@Joshuro]

is there a video showing how to transfer audio files back to premiere once they have been fixed in Audition?

[@hvmzaxib]

search for dynamic link

[@VideoRevealed]

Dynamic Link does not work *from* Audition, the files need to be rendered as a mix or separate stems. The easiest way is to Right-click on the clip(s) you want to send to Audition and select Edit in Audition. This operation will extract the video and import it into Premiere Pro, launch Audition and you're ready to edit the file. When you Save in Audition, the linked audio clip in Premiere Pro will also be updated. Just so you know, Dynamic Link is a "headless" version of either After Effects or Premiere Pro. There is no "headless" version of Audition.

[@hvmzaxib]

oh sorry ;) and thanks for the information

[@balramrohilla8249]

Wow I m starting day with yours videos.. 😊 Its 12.22am in India and I am happy 😊.. Thanks a lot.

[@VideoRevealed]

What a great start to the day!

[@radicalmatriarchy7428]

THANK YOU!!

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome.

[@radicalmatriarchy7428]

@@VideoRevealed I used Audition for the first time on my latest video and it made a HUGE difference. Powerful stuff thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/maO6aKV5q96tn5o

[@VideoRevealed]

That's great, now you have another tool in your arsenal.

[@agambhasin]

Super Duper Useful!!

[@VideoRevealed]

That's great!

[@patrickbareo7183]

I really hope you reply to my comment. I honestly thought Audition isn't good audio editing program. But now it changed up my mind. Perhaps, I'm not really familiar to the program (been using for week) or rather to how audio editing softwares work. My questions are "How does Audition stack up to the likes of Melodyne when pitch correcting vocals?" I've tried editing vocals like "auto-tuning" them. Putting auto-pitch correction, reverbs, etc. But it didn't acceptable for me or something close to "auto-tuned" pop shit songs from the charts. Any advice? Last is "How about for Logic Pro or Mixcraft?". Like can Audition substitue those two programs?

[@VideoRevealed]

I know Melodyne very well and nothing touches it in terms of manual and automatic tuning and quanitizing. It's pure magic. Audition supports VST 2 and 3 plug-ins so I don't see why you can't run it as a plug-in. Audition can definitely perform audio operation against all the "big boys" like Pro Tools, Logic and Cubase (my choice). I'm not aware of Mixcraft. But, there are no virtual instruments or MIDI in Audition so for me I use it specifically as an audio tool for video projects. Cubase is my main music creation program. On a side note, I'm forcing myself to *not* use Melodyne and instead, sing the parts correctly, no matter how many takes. :-)

[@VideoRevealed]

AMAZING! Adobe just released the Audio Essentials Panel to the latest update to Premiere Pro! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIrIp3qdibGKi8U

[@VideoRevealed]

Comment added for sorting purposes

[@bluefilmsltd]

Thanks for this, but i don't have Adobe Sound thingy and simply use Premiere Pro for editing audio, perhaps you have or will make a tutorial for dummies using Premiere Pro?

[@VideoRevealed]

Premiere Pro has limited audio effects so you really need Audition to follow this tutorial.

[@bluefilmsltd]

VideoRevealed Fair enough mate.

[@thomaskapica4742]

just Great!!!

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks.

[@graceclarkmedia]

I love your videos.

[@VideoRevealed]

Thank you!

[@alloneword154]

Seeems like a lot of these effects are in the new version of premier pro. Also what's the reasoning for having to be a multitrack season when it still gives you the option to treat each track independently anyways.

[@VideoRevealed]

These new effects methods require clips to have a tag to know what they are (ie: music, dialog, etc.). Those tags only apply to clips in a Multitrack Sequence. Also, the whole premise for this new method is based on track automation and the only place you can use tracks are in a Multitrack. Yes you can edit individual audio *clips*, but they aren't in a track, they're just clips.

[@alloneword154]

VideoRevealed. Well played sir.

[@checkmate4575]

Can I use Adobe audition for mixing to theatrical release??

[@VideoRevealed]

For mixing yes, but if you need Dolby export, you need to purchase that as an extra add on because Adobe removed the Dolby license from all its software.

[@Drumimages]

This is great timing, because I have an issue with audio in pp. I have recorded some audio on a device that creates .wav files. I can play them in windows media player no problem, but when I import the files into pp the file appears but there is no audio. Am i missing something really obvious?

[@VideoRevealed]

It's not your fault, try deleting the cache and make sure you're using Media Browser and not File> Import menu. Let me know if you still can't import the audio.

[@Drumimages]

Cheers- I found if I convert the WAV files to MP3 it works.

[@BongsOfTheWest]

can u tell the version of audition u are using?

[@VideoRevealed]

Whatever the latest Creative Cloud version is. Just update if you have CC.

[@BongsOfTheWest]

thanx a lot...your videos sre just awesome!

[@EvanFotis]

Export from pr to au, comes in xml multitrack, but tracks not editable?

[@VideoRevealed]

Yes, Adobe uses FCP XML to send to Audition and all the tracks should definitely be editable. Are they just locked? See this screenshot: imgur.com/a/fntqv

[@EvanFotis]

Tnx! They are greyed out. By double clicking it opens files in solo mode. Can muted music tracks from PR be unmuted in AU?

[@VideoRevealed]

It sounds like something is set that is preventing the ability to edit the clips. Yes you can unMute by pressing the M button but that shouldn't prevent editing.

[@aakashaakash4435]

Evan Fotis

[@PokerDudeOnTube]

But Lumitri is in Adobe.. I wish you could do this straight to the audio in Premiere...

[@VideoRevealed]

But the effects that are being adjusted in Audition, are not all available to Premiere Pro so the panel would only work *after* all the effects are written for Premiere Pro.

[@maryammon1610]

Can You Use Audition CC 2017

[@VideoRevealed]

Yes, this feature is in version 2017.

[@Synsere_Lyfe]

VideoRevealed how do I fix latency issues I have a blue Yeti and I'm using Windows with Adobe Audition the latest version can you make a video on that

[@VideoRevealed]

You can set that in the Audio Hardware settings. Here's a screenshot: i.imgur.com/Bj12ZnU.png?1

[@fineresolve1540]

why does my essential sound have nothing, it says no selection. edit: nvm, it must be in multitrack first

[@VideoRevealed]

Correct. You must select clips in Multitrack panel first.

[@TakingSouls4free]

Is this good for removing vocals from a song?

[@VideoRevealed]

To remove vocals, use the Center Channel Extractor. Here's a screenshot: imgur.com/a/KLUti

[@TakingSouls4free]

VideoRevealed by any chance do you think you can help me out? I've looked up so many KZbin videos on how to remove vocals but it doesn't work for me. But If you're busy its totally cool.

[@VideoRevealed]

Contact me here with a link to the audio clip: videorevealed.com/contact.html Removing vocals really only works if they were recorded in the center; which most recordings are. If they are not recorded that way, it could be more difficult.

[@TakingSouls4free]

VideoRevealed ok I sent an email with the link. Did you get it?

[@Modhumitamondal]

Nice

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks.

[@ponnivalavan1575]

Adobe audition to MP3 to 5.1 mixing video update

I'm not sure if you're asking a question or making a statement? The only update for 5.1 in all Adobe application is the removal of Dolby Digital.

[@ponnivalavan1575]
