Options Menu – Edit View
• Time/Date: If you want the recording to begin at a future time (for instance, to have Adobe Audition capture a radio
broadcast at a certain time), select the time/date option. Fill in the starting time and date in the appropriate fields, and
choose the desired time and date options.
Upon pressing OK, the record button will blink, and recording will start when your computer’s time reaches the time
specified. Recording will then continue for the length given, until it’s stopped manually, or when Adobe Audition runs
out of available hard disk space.
Monitor Record Level
Checking this option will activate the Level Meters and start monitoring the recording source, which is useful for setting
levels before recording. To quit monitoring, press the Stop control or uncheck Monitor Record Level on the Options
menu.
Use the F10 key to quickly turn on and off the Level Meters.
Show Levels on Play and Record
This item enables or disables Adobe Audition’s Level Meters, which are used to visualize audio levels during recording
and playback. It doesn’t, however, cause the Level Meters to go away. To do that, go to the View menu and uncheck Show
Level Meters.
MIDI Trigger Enable
By checking MIDI Trigger Enable, any of Adobe Audition’s shortcuts that have been assigned to MIDI events can be
called from a MIDI keyboard, a sequencer, or any other device capable of issuing a MIDI command. Disable this option
if you don’t wish to have shortcuts respond to MIDI events.
Note: Before attempting to enable MIDI triggering, you’ll need to choose a device for MIDI In that’s recognized by Windows,
such as a soundcard’s built-in MIDI interface or a MIDI interface card. To do this, go to Options > Device Properties… and
click on the MIDI In tab. Use the drop-down list to select the input device to be used for triggering.
Synchronize Cursor Across Windows
With this command check-marked, the playback cursor bar or currently highlighted selection will retain its position
when switching between open waveforms within Adobe Audition.
For example, if you are looking at 1.wav and highlight from 0:01:00 to 0:02:00 and then switch to 2.wav using the
Window menu or the Organizer window, 2.wav would also have 0:01:00 to 0:02:00 highlighted. This can be useful if
you’re switching between different versions of the same waveform during editing.
