Append files with CD Track markers to quickly assemble audio and apply consistent processing.
- In the Waveform Editor, do either of the following: >>To add to the active file, choose File > Open Append > To Current.
- In the Open Append dialog box, select one or more files.
- Click Open.
>>To add to a new file, choose File > Open Append > To New.
Note: If the selected files have a different sample rate, bit depth, or channel type than the open file, Audition converts the selected files to match the open file. For the best results, append files with the same sample type as the original file.
Import a File as Raw Data
If you can’t open a particular file, it may lack necessary header information that describes the sample type. To manually specify this information, import the file as raw data.
- Choose File > Import > Raw Data.
- Select the file, and click Open.
- Set the following options:
Sample Rate
Should match the known rate of the file, if possible. For examples of common settings, see Understanding sample rate. Adobe Audition can import raw data with rates ranging from 1 to 10,000,000 Hz, but playback and recording are supported only between 6000 Hz and 192,000 Hz.Channels
Enter a number from 1 to 32.Encoding
Specifies the data storage scheme for the file. If you are unsure what encoding the file uses, consult the supplier of the file, or the documentation for the application that created it. In many cases, trial and error might be necessary.Byte Order
Specifies the numerical sequence for bytes of data. The Little-Endian method is common to WAV files, while the Big-Endian method is common to AIFF files. The Default Byte Order automatically applies the default for your system processor and is typically the best option.Start Byte Offset
Specifies the data point in the file at which the import process should begin.
Insert an Audio File into a Multitrack Session
When you insert an audio file in the Multitrack Editor, the file becomes an audio clip on the selected track. If you insert several files at once, or a single file that’s longer than the space available on the selected track, Adobe Audition inserts new clips on the nearest empty tracks.
- In the Multitrack Editor, select a track, and then place the playhead at the desired time position.
- Choose Multitrack > Insert File.
- Select an audio or video file. >>In CS6, drag ranges from the Markers panel to the Multitrack Editor to automatically convert them to clips.
