ADOBE AUDITION 289 User Guide Equalization Fields The H, M, and L fields show the amount (amplitude) of high, mid, and low equalization frequencies applied to the track. To change the H, M, and L values, select the desired field, hold down your left-mouse button, and drag. Dragging to the right increases the value, while dragging to the left reduces it. Pan Controls Two types of pan controls for adjusting the balance of each track are included. The control that looks like a small ball is used to quickly pan the track hard left or hard right, or return the track to a centered state. Use your mouse to switch the ball to three possible positions: hard left, zero pan, and hard right. The other pan control shows the current pan value and provides a more precise way of adjusting pan. To change the pan value for the track, select the pan field, hold down your left-mouse button, and drag. Dragging to the right pans the track to the right channel, while dragging to the left pans the track to the left channel. Mute/Solo Buttons The M (Mute) button turns off the output of the track. You can mute as many tracks as you want by clicking on their M buttons. Press the S (Solo) button to solo the track. To solo multiple tracks, hold down the Ctrl key as you click on their S buttons. Track Faders The fader is used to adjust the track's relative volume in the mix. Move the fader up (or click on the arrow above the fader) to increase the volume; move it down (or click on the arrow below the fader) for a volume reduction. You may also directly specify the track's volume by entering a dB value in the text box above the fader. Portion Bar Unless you have a really, really large monitor, you won't be able to see all of Adobe Audition's available 128 tracks on screen at once. Use the portion bar to scroll from tracks 1 to 128 and any point in between. Bus Mixer Tab Here are the major components of the Bus Mixer: Out Pressing this button shows the Bus Properties dialog. Config Click on this button to display the configuration window for the selected bus. Along with giving you access to the parameters for each effect you've added to the bus, the configuration window's Mixer pane provides sliders for adjusting the volume of all effects in the bus, as well as the bus' desired Dry Out level. Push the Serial button if you want the effects on the bus to run in order (one effect and then the next). Click on the Parallel button to feed the track into all the effects separately, and then mix the effects back together, so the output of one effect doesn't change the input of another effect. Clicking on the Rack Setup button brings up Adobe Audition's Bus Properties dialog. Pan Controls Two types of pan controls for adjusting the balance of the bus are included. The control that looks like a small ball is used to quickly pan the bus hard left or hard right, or return the bus to a centered state. Use your mouse to switch the ball to three possible positions: hard left, zero pan, and hard right. The other pan control shows the current pan value and provides a more precise way of adjusting pan. To change the pan value for the bus, select the pan field, hold down your left-mouse button, and drag. Dragging to the right pans the bus to the right channel, while dragging to the left pans the bus to the left channel.
