What’s new
Record and mix
Adobe Audition 3.0 is a powerful tracking and mixing application. Mix faster with new automatic crossfades, clip
fade handles, and automation-editing improvements. Take full advantage of the latest hardware with multicore
processor support and an optimized mixing engine.
VST plug-in manager Quickly enable or disable specific VST plug-ins, optimizing performance. (See “Enable VST
effects” on page 110.)
Auto crossfades and clip fade handles Simply overlap clips to crossfade them, and adjust fade curves with on-clip
handles. (See “Fade or crossfade clips in a track” on page 197.)
Improved multitrack editing Efficiently edit sessions with these key enhancements:
• Collectively trim and fade grouped clips. (See “Grouping clips” on page 192.)
• Ripple-delete ranges of clips, instantly removing time gaps. (See “Trimming and extending clips” on page 195.)
• Adjust selected ranges of automation points. (See “Edit automation envelopes” on page 207.)
• Duplicate the contents of entire tracks, including clips, effects, and automation. (See “Duplicate a track” on
page 184.)
• Simultaneously view all input and output levels to comprehensively monitor a mix. (See “Monitor levels” on
page 63.)
XML session support Save sessions to XML format and other shared standards for multitrack applications. (See
“Save multitrack sessions” on page 241.)
Mix down directly to Edit View Quickly output a session directly to Edit View, without first exporting a file. (See
“Create a single audio clip from multiple clips” on page 201.)
