ADOBE AUDITION 209 User Guide When unchecked, the positions of each of the waveform's previous cursor or range areas will be retained and redisplayed. If the waveform that you're switching to doesn't contain the currently selected time location (as in a .5 sec waveform, in our example), then switching acts this way as well. Windows Recording Mixer Select this command to display the Record Control part of the Windows Mixer (a.k.a. Volume Control) so that you adjust sound card recording levels. Scripts & Batch Processing Adobe Audition scripts allow you to save a series of actions (such as a cut/paste or applying an effect) to be performed again with the click of a button. Scripts - which are simple text files - are similar to macros; the exact movements of your mouse and any tweaking of parameters are stored, ready to be repeated in the same sequence when recalled. Scripts and Batch Processing Dialog As an example, suppose you have a combination of effects with particular settings (an EQ setting, a Hall reverb, etc.) that you like to apply often and in combination to achieve a certain sound. You can record these steps, along with specific settings, to be carried out again by simply calling the script. There are three types of scripts. The type created depends upon Adobe Audition's state when you initiate the recording: • Scripts that start from scratch. These scripts start with no waveform opened, and their first command is File > New. • Scripts that work on the current audio file. This type of script operates on the entire waveform. It requires a file to be opened, but with no selection made. Actions begin at the playback cursor position in the waveform, and will affect any data present at that point.
