ADOBE AUDITION

User Guide

Note: Even if you do 16-bit pre-mixing, no data is lost, and a ﬁnal mixdown can still be 32-bit.

Panning This section sets the method used for panning waveforms in a multitrack session.

• L/R Cut Logarithmic: If this option is chosen, left-panning is achieved by reducing the volume of the right channel,

and right-panning is performed by reducing the left channel volume. The channel being panned to doesn’t increase

in volume as panning gets closer to 100%.

• Equal-power Sinusoidal: Choose this option to pan left and right channels with equal power, so a hard pan left will

contain the same loudness as both channels together. This results in an increase of 3dB RMS on the channel being

panned to when at 100%.

Note: Because panning can actually make one channel louder than the original waveform, audible clipping can occur in 16-

bit sessions. To avoid this, work in the 32-bit realm if you’re using the Equal-power Sinusoidal panning method.

Set As Default If you’ve changed the Pre-mixing and/or Panning settings, press this button to have Adobe Audition

remember them as the default settings.

Note: Adobe Audition’s default settings for Multitrack View are under the Multitrack tab of Options > Settings.

Tempo Tab

The Tempo tab of the Advanced Session Properties window

Tempo The tempo of the session is speciﬁed here. Any loops that have a tempo speciﬁed will be time-stretched to match

the session’s tempo. The time-stretch method used is determined by the individual loop’s settings. If you need more

detailed tempo settings, right-click on the horizontal ruler in Adobe Audition’s Session Display.

• Beats/minute: Enter the number of beats-per-minute here.

• Beats/bar: Input the desired number of beats-per-bar in this ﬁeld.
