To do it, switch from Waveform to Multitrack in the top left, just beneath the menu. The Multitrack interface in Adobe Audition allows you to mix multiple clips. Watch the level lights as you play it back and try not to let them get into the red. If you need to make it slightly louder again, simply head back to the Favourites menu and Normalize. Click apply, and you’ll get nicely compressed audio all at the same level. Next, turn the Compressor on, and the Ratio up and perhaps add some MakeUp gain. This is a big effect, so I always set things to Default before I start. Keeping things simple, you can start by going to Amplitude and Compression > Dynamics. By default, there should be no effects in there. If you’d like to use some basic voice effects, you can do that too by using the Effects Rack to the left on side. You can also top and tail – or trim – your audio, by selecting just the audio you’d like to keep and hitting CTRL / CMD + T. However, if you record in 32 bit, you can go above 0 dB and still be able to rescue your audio and it will never distort – how cool is that?! Do this by going to Favourites and either Normalize to -0.1 dB, or if you don’t like being too close to the distortion, – 3 dB. Alternatively, you can just set your audio to the loudest it can be without distorting. Next, you can increase or decrease the volume by dragging the volume knob up a few dBs. Once you’ve recorded your audio, you can remove any unwanted sections by simply selecting the section with your cursor and hitting Delete. Always record at a Bit Depth of 32 (float) (you’ll thank me later!). Keep the Sample Rate at 44100 Hz, choose Mono or Stereo. Once that’s set up, hit record and give your audio file a name. You’ll also want to go to Audio Channel Mapping and make sure you’re recording to the right channels as well as playing back from the right channels. On Windows, that’s under Edit > Preferences and on a Mac, it’s under the Adobe Audition CC menu > Preferences.įrom there, you’ll want to go to Audio Hardware and make sure you select your audio input and output device. Before even hitting record (the red button at the bottom), make sure your audio devices are set up correctly.

The first thing you’ll see is the default interface. Well, the good news is that it can help you not only record great audio and podcasts, but also let you edit audio for your videos to upload to YouTube etc. If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about getting started with Adobe Audition.
