Text Fields options
In Adobe Audition, you can embed text-based data in Windows .wav files that use the RIFF LIST INFO and DISP
type 1 formats, and you can embed standard ID3 tag information in .mp3 files. Provided that other audio editors
support this information, it remains with an audio file throughout its lifetime.
The options in the Text Fields tab depend on the setting you choose for Text Field Names: Standard RIFF, Radio
Industry, or MP3 (ID3 Tag). Radio Industry format accommodates information for commercials and other types of
audio files used by radio broadcasters. MP3 (ID3 Tag) format allows you to tag the opened .mp3 file with
ID3v2.3-compatible data.
Sampler options
The Sampler tab of the File Info dialog box provides options relating to other devices, systems, or programs (such as
synthesizer uploading and downloading software) that can be directly imbedded within .wav files. Provided that
other audio editors support this information, it remains with a file throughout its lifetime.
Target Manufacturer ID Displays a proper value if a sampler has written a .wav file with this sampler information
chunk present.
Target Product Code Displays a proper value if a sampler has written a .wav file with this sampler information chunk
present.
Sample Period Specifies the sample rate of the file (or within 1 Hz of it). You can change the value in this text box if
you wish the sampler to interpret the data at a different rate than it actually is.
