TABLE OF CONTENTS 
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
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.
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...
