USING ADOBE AUDITION 116 Mixing multitrack sessions Arranging and editing multitrack clips When you insert an audio file in the Multitrack Editor, the file becomes a clip on the selected track. You can easily move clips to different tracks or timeline positions. You can also edit clips nondestructively, trimming their start and end points, crossfading them with other clips, and more. To arrange clips in the Editor panel, you use the Move or Time Selection tools.

Snap to clip endpoints Snapping lets you quickly align clips with other clips. If snapping is enabled, both dragged clips and the current-time indicator snap to selected items.

Copy a clip You can create two types of copied audio clips: reference copies that share source files and unique copies that have independent source files. The type of copy you choose depends upon the amount of available disk space and the nature of destructive editing you plan to perform in the Waveform Editor. Reference copies consume no additional disk space, letting you simultaneously edit all instances by editing the original source file. (For example, you can add the Flanger effect to a source file in the Waveform Editor and automatically apply the effect to all 30 referenced copies in a session.) Unique copies have a separate audio file on disk, allowing for separate editing of each version in the Waveform Editor. (For example, you can add destructive effects to the version in an introduction while leaving the version in a verse dry.) Last updated 2/16/2012
