ADOBE AUDITION 365 User Guide Sound Card A device in your PC that allows your computer to play and record audio. Stereo The reproduction or recording of two of more channels, where the position of discrete left and right sounds can be determined. Stripe To copy SMPTE time code to a single track of a multitrack tape. The SMPTE is then used to reference time on the other tracks for purposes of syncing those tracks to other devices. SVX The Amiga 8SVX format (which can have an extension of .iff or .svx) is an 8-bit mono format from the Commodore Amiga computer. A variety of sample rates are supported. Tempo Tempo is the rate at which music moves, normally measured in BPM (Beats Per Minute). Time Code An audio or digital signal designed to synchronize time between multiple devices. The most common forms are SMPTE and MIDI time code. Track Tracks in Adobe Audition are where audio is positioned and arranged in a session. A track can contain one or more blocks, and can be configured with its own volume, pan, track name, EQ, effects, and input/output assignments. Tracks are found in the Session Display of the Multitrack View, and each session can have up to 128 tracks. Track Cue One of the four types of Adobe Audition Cues. They indicate a split in tracks for an audio compact disc. Track Controls The Track Controls appear to the left of Adobe Audition's Multitrack View's Session Window. There you'll find controls for viewing and altering track properties such as pan, EQ, and level; adding real-time effects; assigning multiple tracks to a bus; and adjusting the input/output routing (sound card assignment) of each track. Track Effects This term refers to Adobe Audition's non-bus real-time effects. They are accessed through the Track Effects Rack dialog. Track Effects Configuration This dialog shows tabs for each effect on a given track. It's where you actually set the properties for that effect, such as the delay length. Track Effects Rack The Track Effects Rack dialog is the initial dialog used for deciding which real-time effect(s) you wish to add to or remove from a track. TXT See ASCII Text Data. Unity Gain When a device is set to Unity Gain, it means its output will be at its specified line level. Because there are different line levels (-10 dBV and +4 dBu being the most common), a device could take a voltage of one level, turn it up to a different level, and pass that as its unity gain. VOC This is the Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro voice file format. Adobe Audition supports both old and new style .voc files. The older .voc format only supports 8-bit files. Mono files can have a sample rate of up to 44.1 kHz, and stereo up to 22 kHz. The newer type of .voc file supports both 8-bit and 16-bit audio. VOC files can contain information for looping and silence. If the file you're loading contains loops and silence blocks, they'll be expanded while loading. Vocoder An Adobe Audition Multitrack Effect that will modulate one signal with another.
