Set or clear a default session
After you set a default session, it opens whenever you start Adobe Audition. This default can also serve as a template
for new sessions, letting you share settings, such as track inputs and volume levels, across multiple sessions.
Clearing a default session does not affect the session files themselves. It simply prevents Adobe Audition from
automatically opening a specific session each time you start the application.
In Multitrack View, do one of the following:
To set a session as the default, open it, and choose File > Default Session > Set Current Session As Default. If the
session contains clips, click Yes in the dialog box that appears.
To specify no default session, choose File > Default Session > Clear Default Session.
Insert an audio file into a session
When you insert an audio file in Multitrack View, the file becomes an audio clip on the selected track. If you insert
several files at once, or a single file thats longer than the space available on the selected track, Adobe Audition inserts
new clips on the nearest empty tracks.

1 In Multitrack View, select a track, and then place the start-time indicator at the desired time position.
2 Do one of the following:
To insert one or more audio files, choose Insert > Audio, select the files, and click Open. (To preview the contents
of selected files, click Play or select Auto Play. Select Loop to repeat previews and Stop to end them.)

Video, select a file, and click Open.

Spot insert a Broadcast Wave file into a session
When you insert a Broadcast Wave (BWF) file into a multitrack session, Adobe Audition can use the embedded
timestamp to insert the file at a specific time. This is commonly called spot inserting.
1 In Multitrack View, do any of the following to use embedded timestamps:
Choose Insert > Insert Using BWF Timestamp.
Right-click in the Files panel, and choose Use BWF Time Reference Offset.
