©Bruce Williams studio@audio2u.com (Bruce Williams) studio@audio2u.com 1440 Audio, recording, mixing, editing, Audition, software, podcast A week by week tutorial on using Adobe Audition v2.0. (What used to be Cool Edit Pro... record edit and mix audio) Veteran audio engineer, Bruce Williams, takes you on a guided tour of how to use Adobe Audition (What used to be Cool Edit Pro). A continual user of the software since its inception in 1995, Bruce is intimately familiar with the interface, and delivers an insightful and comprehensive guide to making the most of the program. A must for anyone just starting out with Audition, and particularly for anyone hoping to use Audition to create their own podcasts. Episodes will be uploaded weekly around midday Sunday (GMT).

Then, we look at the next item in the 'Filters and EQ' section... the graphic EQ. The graphic EQ in 10 band mode. Each filter covers an octave. The graphic EQ in 20 band mode. Each filter covers half an octave. The graphic EQ in 30 band mode. Each filter covers one third of an octave. The waveform display, after a cut at 8kHz, in 10 band mode. Notice how far the dip extends to the left and right of the centre frequency (it covers a full octave). The spectral display, after a cut at 8kHz, in 10 band mode. Notice the area of the display which is NOT yellow, but rather orange (signalling a drop in amplitude). The waveform display, after a cut at 8kHz, in 30 band mode. Notice how far the dip extends to the left and right of the centre frequency (it now only covers a third of an octave). The spectral display, after a cut at 8kHz, in 30 band mode. Notice how the orange section of the display is shorter, because the amplitude drop is narrower than in 10 band mode.

In episode 126, I invited Michael Rooney (the author of the shareware program, Mediasweeper) to come over and have a chat about exactly what his application is designed to do, and how it works. For anyone who uses the multitrack side of Audition, this program is a MUST-HAVE! With versions 2 and 3 of Audition, pressing record in the multitrack writes the new audio directly to your hard drive, even though you may not yet be sure that what you're recording is going to be a 'keeper'. This means that over time, you can end up with quite a lot of saved audio files on your hard disc that you don't need or want to keep. Mediasweeper will help you identify (and move) those useless files to another folder ready for deletion (or archiving). And if you can spare a few bucks via a PayPal donation, I'm sure Michael would be most appreciative! !Podcasts,,Building,the,Pod,,Mediasweeper Bruce Williams no No http://www.audio2u.com/?p=787 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=787#comments Fri, 12 Sep 2008 08:29:45 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=787 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=787 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=786 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=786#comments Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:09:11 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=786 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=786 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=785 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=785#comments Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:27:50 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=785 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=785 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=782 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=782#comments Sat, 30 Aug 2008 23:00:58 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=782 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=782 16:59 This week, a bunch of listener e-mails to answer.

After editing and mixing this episode, it occurred to me that this really should have been in Sine Language rather than BTP... oh well, sue me! Bomar mentioned (among other things), a microphone which is alledgedly capable of picking up the sound of an ant's footsteps. Unfortunately, the site doesn't appear to have any audio samples of this awesome feat. Mmmmmm, sorry Bomar, but please forgive my scepticism! :) Bomar went on to talk about field recorders, which led to a discussion on 'auto gain control' circuits (and why I don't like them). Next up, I received an e-mail from Ken at Bear Creek Studios who alerted me to a piece of software called Mediasweeper. This looks really nifty, although I do need to spend some more time with it. What it is designed to do is to look at your Audition .ses files and show you a list of which assets (read: wav files, mp3's, avi's, whatever) are referenced by the session file, and then allow you to either move all those files, or delete any wavs in the project folder which are NOT referenced by the session file! If it does as promised, this will be a God-send! Unfortunately, there's no help file with it. When I've spent some more time with it, I'll report back. Then, Wayne Montle wrote to tell me about Pamela, a piece of software which sits in between Skype and your DAW of choice. What it does is allow you to split your outgoing audio (your voice) and your incoming audio (the person you're talking to) into a left/right stereo signal so that you can later edit your Skype call with split tracks. For those with soundcards which don't offer that flexibility natively, this could be a huge blessing. Thanks for the tip, Wayne. Finally, I received an e-mail from Patrique Osborne who was concerned that I was advocating the growing of marijuana in episode 124! I had a good laugh at this. !Podcasts,,Building,the,Pod,,Dynamics,,Field,recorder,,Limiting,,Mediasweeper,,Microphone,,Pamela Bruce Williams no No http://www.audio2u.com/?p=781 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=781#comments Wed, 27 Aug 2008 06:35:34 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=781 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=781 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=780 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=780#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:23:04 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=780 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=780 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=779 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=779#comments Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:38:42 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=779 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=779 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=778 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=778#comments Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:55:57 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=778 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=778 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=769 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=769#comments Sun, 17 Aug 2008 09:56:30 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=769 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=769 27:14 This week, a discussion on handling noise within your home, prompted by a discussion I had with Luke Stapely on Facebook.

This week, a couple of e-mails to answer. Jim Weishorn asked about the introduction of quantization errors from too much processing. And Mike Wills asked about encoding your mp3's from inside Audition, but using Lame instead of the Fraunhofer codec. Which led to a discussion of the CoolLame filter, available from Rarewares. Then, a look at the extended capabilities of the Extract Audio From CD tool in Audition v3 (which now has the ability to retrieve album metadata from an internet database so you can rip and tag your CD's!). As you'll hear though, going forward from here, it's going to be tough for me to maintain 3 weekly podcasts.

And it just so happens that there is a free plugin available which allows Audition to open AC3 files! You can grab it here, or you can visit ac3filter.net. There was also an e-mail from Vassya regarding salvaging clipped audio, which led to another of my rants on using the correct terminology ('bit resolution' instead of 'bit rate' when referring to wordlength). We also heard (literally) from Mike Wills who commented on the whole cpu usage argument. Then, editing music in multitrack view using the 'on track' auto-crossfades. Also, after an e-mail from a Shutters Inc listener, just a reminder on how you can find all the episodes of BTP (if you're interested in downloading the back catalogue.
