Chapter 15: View Menu – Multitrack View
he View Menu displays options that relate to change the display or viewable area when in the Multitrack View
mode.
Edit Waveform View
This command switches to Adobe Audition’s Edit View mode, where individual waveforms may be modified.
Pressing the leftmost button in the Multitrack View File toolbar takes you to Edit View mode. The face of the View button
represents the target View that the system will “jump to” when pressed. For example, when you’re working in Multitrack
View, this button’s appearance changes to let you know that if you push the button, you’ll go to the Edit View.
Show Pan Envelopes
Checkmark this option to show the Pan Envelopes for each block in the session display. Pan envelopes appear as a vertical
blue line through the center of the block and represent the sound file’s left/right stereo placement – the top of the block
is hard left, and the bottom is hard right.
A wave block with its Pan Envelope set to pan hard left, then hard right, and then back to center
Note: To change a pan envelope, there must be a checkmark next to Enable Envelope Editing (further down the View menu).
Note: Pan Envelopes are nondestructive, meaning they don’t affect the original audio file in any way. Therefore, if you return
to the Edit View or go to another application and play a sound file that you’ve applied an envelope to, you won’t hear the
envelope panning. The only time this envelope is applied is within Adobe Audition’s Multitrack View.
Show Volume Envelopes
Select this option to show the Volume Envelopes for each block in the Session Display. Volume envelopes appear as a
green line that initially goes straight across the top of a block. The top of the block represents 100% (normal) application,
while the bottom of the block represents full attenuation (silence).
