ADOBE AUDITION 3.0

User Guide

Monitoring time during recording and playback

Adobe Audition provides several features to help you monitor time during recording and playback:

• The start-time indicator is a vertical, dotted yellow line in the Main panel. You set the start-time indicator to start

playback or recording at a specific point in a waveform.

• The playback cursor appears as a vertical, solid white line in the Main panel. As you listen to audio files, the

playback cursor moves, showing you the current time in the waveform.

• The Time panel shows the current time in numerical format. The default time format is Bars and Beats, but you

can easily change it. The same format is used by the timeline along the bottom of the Main panel.

Features that help you monitor time

A. Start-time indicator B. Playback cursor C. Timeline D. Time panel

Set the start-time indicator

❖ Do one of the following:

• In the Main panel, click to move the start-time indicator to a new timeline position. (To perform this technique

in Multitrack View, use any tool other than the Move/Copy tool.)

• In the Main panel, drag the handle (the yellow triangle) above or below the start-time indicator to a new timeline

position.

• In the Selection/View panel, type a precise time in the Selection option under Begin, and press Enter.

After you set the start-time indicator, you can save it as a marker for later reference. See “About markers” on page 80.

Synchronize the start-time indicator across files or views

In Edit View, you can maintain the position of the start-time indicator when you switch between files—a useful

technique when editing different versions of the same waveform. In Multitrack View, you can maintain the position

of the start-time indicator when you switch to Edit View, a useful technique when applying edits and effects in both

views.

• To synchronize the start-time indicator between waveforms in Edit View, choose Options > Synchronize Cursor

Across Windows.

• To synchronize the start-time indicator between Multitrack View and Edit View, choose Options > Synchronize

Clips With Edit View in Multitrack View.
