MIDI Tab ADOBE AUDITION 287 User Guide Playback Devices windows - MIDI tab A list of all your system's MIDI output devices is shown here. • Same for All Tracks: Check this box to use the selected Wave device, bus, or MIDI device as the default for tracks in your session. • Properties: The button brings up the property dialog for the selected Wave device, bus, or MIDI device. • Bus Properties: Adobe Audition gives you the ability to organize multiple tracks into busses, which is especially useful for adding one or more real-time effects to and/or adjusting the gain for a common group of tracks. For instance, you might have four tracks of background vocals that you want to apply the same reverb effect to. Instead of adding that effect to each track (which might have a significant drain on your computer's processing speed), you can add the four tracks to their own bus and then apply the reverb to the bus. Up to 26 buses may be created. Use the Bus Properties dialog (which looks very similar to Adobe Audition's Effects Rack window) to specify and change a bus's settings. Bus Properties Dialog • Friendly Name: By default, Adobe Audition names its busses after a letter of the alphabet - such as Bus (A) - but you can easily rename a bus by highlighting the text in the Friendly Name field and typing over it.
