Favorites options
You can set the following options when you create or edit a favorite:
Name Specifies the name of a favorite. To organize the Favorites menu, do one or more of the following:
• Create hierarchical menus by using a backslash (\). For example, type My Delays\Hall Reverb intheNameboxto
place the Hall Reverb favorite in the My Delays submenu.
• Add separator bars by typing a series of dashes (------) into the Name box. If you want more than one separator
bar, type a different number of dashes, or add text so that the separator doesn't match one in the list. For example,
type ------2 (the 2 after the dashes doesn’t appear in the Favorites menu).
• Create a separator bar for a submenu by entering the submenu path first and typing three hyphens (such as My
Effects\---). You can create only one separator bar on each submenu.
Note: If you name a new submenu, make sure not to use the name of any command, script, or tool that is listed under
the Function, Script, or Tool tab.
Press New Shortcut Key Type here to assign a key or combination of keys as the keyboard shortcut for a favorite.
Adobe Audition accepts most single key shortcuts (the most notable exceptions are the Print Screen, Scroll Lock,
Number Lock, Caps Lock, Tab, Function, and Enter keys), and it also accepts the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys (or any
combination of the three) as the first in a combination of keys. Click the Clear button to delete an existing shortcut.
