ADOBE AUDITION 197 User Guide To navigate a zoomed-in frequency display, put your mouse pointer over the horizontal ruler - the pointer then changes into a hand. Left-click and drag the hand horizontally to scroll the current zoom range forward and backwards. To zoom out, place your mouse cursor over the horizontal ruler and right-click. A menu pops up with two options. • Select Zoom Out to get back to the previous view displayed before performing the last zoom-in. • Choose Zoom Out Full to display the entire horizontal waveform or selection in the Frequency Analysis window. Zooming (Amplitude Ruler) To zoom in on the Frequency Analysis window's y-axis (vertical) ruler - the one that measures the amplitude of a frequency - place your mouse pointer over the ruler. Then, right-click and drag to select the area you wish to zoom in on. (You'll notice that your pointer turns into a magnifying glass.) Release the right-click button and the zoom-in occurs. To navigate a zoomed-in frequency amplitude display, put your mouse pointer over the vertical ruler; the pointer then changes into a hand. Left-click and drag the hand horizontally to scroll the current zoom range up and down. To zoom out, place your mouse cursor over the vertical ruler and right-click. A menu pops up with two options. • Select Zoom Out to get back to the previous view displayed before performing the last zoom-in. • Choose Zoom Out Full to display the entire vertical ruler in the Frequency Analysis window. Show Phase Analysis This command displays Adobe Audition's Phase Analysis window. Using a Lissajous Plot graph, it lets you easily see any phase differences between the channels of the current waveform. ("Phase" as used here is the amplitude difference between channels.) • A mono (in phase) waveform will display as a rising diagonal line from left to right. • An inverse left channel 180-degrees out-of-phase waveform (the right channel is in phase) will display a line descending from left to right. • A right channel-only waveform will display as a horizontal line. • A left channel-only waveform will display as a vertical line. • Most stereo audio is generally fuzzy looking, upward sloping from left to right. • If audio has very wide stereo separation, the display will be going in almost all directions.

To zoom out, place your mouse cursor over the horizontal ruler and right-click. A menu pops up with two options.
Select Zoom Out to get back to the previous view displayed before performing the last zoom-in.
Choose Zoom Out Full to display the entire horizontal waveform or selection in the Frequency Analysis window.
Zooming (Amplitude Ruler)
To zoom in on the Frequency Analysis window’s y-axis (vertical) ruler – the one that
measures the amplitude of a frequency – place your mouse pointer over the ruler. Then, right-click and drag to select the
area you wish to zoom in on. (You’ll notice that your pointer turns into a magnifying glass.) Release the right-click

Show Phase Analysis
This command displays Adobe Audition’s Phase Analysis window. Using a Lissajous Plot graph, it lets you easily see any
phase differences between the channels of the current waveform. (“Phase” as used here is the amplitude difference
between channels.)
A mono (in phase) waveform will display as a rising diagonal line from left to right.
An inverse left channel 180-degrees out-of-phase waveform (the right channel is in phase) will display a line
descending from left to right.
A right channel-only waveform will display as a horizontal line.
A left channel-only waveform will display as a vertical line.
Most stereo audio is generally fuzzy looking, upward sloping from left to right.
If audio has very wide stereo separation, the display will be going in almost all directions.
