Chapter 4: Editing (Edit View)

By Antony Brown
From The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe Audition 2.0

Introduction

The Edit View gives you a visual representation of either a mono or stereo audio file in wave form view. It enables you to edit and fine-tune the original file in a number of ways, either as a selected range or the whole audio file. The Edit mode operates in destructive mode whereby any editing will directly affect the original audio file which, in most cases, is what you want. Edit mode also comes with an accompanying Spectral View for seeing the audio in a Photoshop style way, for further editing capabilities which we will look at in more detail in Chapter 7 on Restoration. For the moment, bear in mind that any editing changes done to an audio file can be undone using the standard undo function right up to when you save the file. In this chapter we will learn how to:

  • Zoom in and navigate around the Edit View workspace

  • Select a range

  • Cut, copy and paste

  • Delete unwanted audio

  • Add/remove silence

  • Process FX

Destructive Editing

Edit View operates in a destructive editing mode where any edit, cut, paste or process you make will directly affect the original audio file when you save it. If your file is not finally saved, then it will revert back to its original state when it is closed.

Non-Destructive Editing

Within the Multitrack, View Audition 2.0 operates in a non-destructive mode. Any editing or processing is applied only to the way that the file (or sections of it) are played...

Video and Audio Software
Video and audio software is used to process audio and video signals. Applications can include motion analysis, security, ID systems, etc.
Graphics Software
Graphics software is used to produce video graphics and to edit and convert graphic files of different formats. These types of software include raster graphics, vector graphics, raster to vector conversion (R2V), and others.
CID Cameras
CID (charge injection devices) cameras are a type of video camera employing image sensors that retain registered visible light until the sensor's pixels are ground, or ‘injected', into a substrate. This makes them functionally different than other more common digital cameras. CID cameras mainly find service in industrial and scientific applications.
Video Cameras
Video cameras record live-action scenes that are available for viewing via a stored or transmitted video feed. This allows the user to create a permanent and detailed chronicle of events. Video cameras record dozens of pictures (or frames) a second that when viewed in succession, clearly distinguish the translation of an object or person over time.
Media and Presentation Software
Media and presentation software include tools and applications for the creation of multimedia presentations for broadcast or advertising and marketing use. It often uses media such as CDs and DVDs.
