ADOBE AUDITION 327 User Guide Note: Before attempting to enable SMPTE sync, you'll need to choose a device for MIDI In that is recognized by Windows (such as a soundcard's built-in MIDI interface, a MIDI interface card, or other hardware device options.) To do this, go to Options > Device Properties to bring up the devices window. Set MIDI In (Sync/Trigger) to the input to be used for SMPTE sync (commonly YourDevice: Sync). Sample Accurate Sync Some sound cards are capable of sending sample-accurate sync timing information to Adobe Audition. Engage this option to take advantage of this sample-accurate sync when slaving to SMPTE through such sound cards Pause Background Mixing Enable this option to halt Adobe Audition's background mixing process. Background mixing pre-mixes audio before the audio is played. This can relieve some of your computer's processing load at playback time if some audio can be mixed before you even hit the Play button. Adobe Audition will function with background mixing turned off, but in most cases you'd be better off with it enabled. However, you may want to pause background mixing if you are making lots and lots of edits, and don't want the hard drive trying to keep up with the background mixing only to have you make more edits which invalidate the previous mixing. Metronome This command brings up the Metronome tab of Adobe Audition's Session Properties window. Note: The Metronome function is fully documented in the "View - Multitrack View" chapter. 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. Settings You can customize Adobe Audition's colors, use of memory and hard disk space, multitrack behavior, SMPTE options, and miscellaneous other program characteristics in Options > Settings. Note: Complete documentation on the Settings dialog can be found in the "Options Menu - Edit View" chapter. Pressing the F4 key is a fast way to display the Settings dialog.
