Applying Stereo, Pitch, and Delay Effects
To use the Multitap Delay effect:
1 Select an audio range (Edit View) or track (Multitrack View).
2 In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Delay Effects, and double-click
Multitap Delay.
3 Set the desired options.
For more information, search for “Multitap Delay options” in Help.
Adding reverb
When a sound occurs, it bounces off of different surfaces on its way to your ears. For
example, when someone sings in a room, that sound is reflected off the walls, ceiling, and
floor, as well as any objects in the room. This reflected sound is called reverberation, or
reverb for short. All these reflected sounds might reach your ears so closely together that
you cannot discern them as separate echoes. However, they give an impression of space.
With Adobe Audition, you can customize the reverb and replicate a variety of room
environments.
For the most precise control of an effects mix in Multitrack View, set real-time reverbs
to 0% Original and 100% Reverb. Then, use the effects mixer to control the ratio of dry
to reverberant sound.
Using the Full Reverb effect
Full Reverb, like the standard Reverb effect, simulates acoustic space. It’s also convolution-
impulse-based (like standard Reverb), meaning no ringing, metallic, or other artificial
sounding artifacts are present. However, specific resonance can be achieved if desired.
The Full Reverb effect has some unique features, such as Perception, which simulates
room irregularities, and source location to place the “singer” off-center, and have the early
reflections realistically model their position within rooms that have acoustically desirable
dimensions that you can customize. Practically any wall surface or other sound-affecting
factors can be simulated by changing the reverb’s frequency absorption by using a three-
band, parametric-EQ style interface (in the Coloration tab).
