Mix Down to Track (Bounce) This functions performs a mixdown as the Edit > Mix Down command does, and places the

result – a mono or stereo ﬁle that exactly replicates the sound of your complete session – in the selected track. (This

process is commonly known as “bouncing”.) Session elements such as looping, images, effects and envelopes are all

reﬂected in the mixed waveform. You’ll ﬁnd the Mix Down to Track (Bounce) command handy for creating small sub-

mixes in the Multitrack View.

• All Waves: Selecting this option will mix all unmuted waveforms in the session and place the resulting stereo waveform

in the current track.

• Selected Waves: Choose this option to mix all highlighted waveforms in the session and put the resulting stereo

waveform in the active track.

• All Waves (Mono): Selecting this option will mix all unmuted waveforms in the session to a mono waveform, which

will be placed in the current track.

• Selected Waves (Mono): Choose this option to mix all highlighted waveforms in the session to a mono waveform,

which is put in the active track

Note: Adobe Audition treats your mixed track like any other open waveform. You’ll see its name in the Files tab of the Prefer-

ences menu as well as in the Insert > Existing File/Cue… pop-up window. It can also be sent to Adobe Audition’s Edit View

for modiﬁcation.

Mute Track Checkmark this command to mute the track. All blocks within the track are ignored during playback and

mixdowns, and are displayed as “grayed-out”. This command does the same thing as pressing the “M” button on the track

console.

Solo Track When this command is checkmarked, the track is soloed. A soloed track has the effect of muting out all other

tracks, and is used to quickly isolate a track or tracks from the rest of the mix. Unlike the Solo Current Track command,

you can run Solo on multiple tracks to place the track into solo mode. This command does the same thing as clicking

the “S” button on the track console. (You’ll need to hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the “S” button to solo multiple

tracks.)

Solo Current Track Run this command to put just the current track into solo mode. If any other track in the session

window is soloed, its solo status will be turned off.

Arm Track for Record Checking this command gets a track ready for recording. This means that the track will be ready

to record onto when the Record button in the Transport Controls is pushed. When recording into a track, the input will

be fed from the currently selected recording device. This command does the same thing as pressing the “R” button on

the track console.

Track Volume This command displays a small ﬂoating window which includes a slider for adjusting the track’s overall

volume.
