Chapter 6: Applying Stereo,
Pitch, and Delay Effects
f you want to add richness and depth to sound, you can use the effects in Adobe
Audition to change stereo imagery or simulate acoustic spaces. You can add subtle or
psychedelic audio effects, and you can even correct the pitch of an out-of-tune singer.
About using stereo, pitch, and delay effects
Adobe Audition contains a wide variety of effects that let you change stereo imagery,
adjust pitch, and add delay (for example, reverb and echo). Dialog boxes for these effects
share many common options, such as graphs, spline curves, presets, and previews. For
information on these shared options, see “Working with effects” on page 28.
Note: You can apply effects differently in Edit View and Multitrack View, and some effects
dialog boxes have different options in each view. For information on applying effects in Edit
View, see “Selecting audio data” on page 87. For information on applying effects in Multitrack
View, see “Using real-time effects” on page 185.
Changing stereo imagery
Adobe Audition lets you change the apparent location, or stereo imagery, of sounds coming
from the speakers. For instance, you can move a sound from the center to the left or right
speaker or even make sounds seem to circle a listener’s head.
Note that all of the stereo imagery effects except the Doppler Shifter effect work only on
stereo files.
Using the Binaural Auto-Panner effect (Edit View only)
The Binaural Auto-Panner effect spatially lets you designate sound spatially on the left and
the right in a seemingly circular pattern over time. In order to spatially encode the sound,
either the left or right channel is delayed so that the sounds reach each ear at different
times, tricking the brain into thinking they are coming from either side.
