It actually has a pretty good interface for finding audio files.

It lets you browse your disks to import files directly. If you’re familiar with Adobe Premiere Pro, this panel should be familiar. So if you record something in Audition or drag in a file from elsewhere, that will show up here.īelow that is the Media Browser. In the top left, we have the Files panel, which will show all of your open audio files. Now that you know how to record, we can get familiar with the default interface of Adobe Audition. What happens now is where things get interesting.

Now you have a recording! No matter how advanced you are, every new Audition project starts with a recording like this. To stop the recording, click on the square stop button or hit the space bar on your keyboard. In general your voice should sit around the -12 to -6 db range to avoid being too loud or too quiet. If it’s peaking up into the yellow, that’s fine. If that green bar goes into the red, then your input gain is too high and you should turn it down on your microphone. There will be a waveform showing your recording, as well as a green bar on the bottom. If you have an input volume dial on your mic, this is where to calibrate it. Now all you need to do to record a basic recording is to hit the red record button! This first test recording will help you determine the optimal levels for your microphone. Great, now all of your audio should be going to the right place. If necessary, change your audio input and audio output to whatever microphone and speakers you’re using. To configure the microphone properly, open Audition and click on Edit, then Preferences, then Audio Hardware. I’ll be assuming you already have a microphone set up and plugged into your computer.
