CHAPTER 7 184
Mixing Multitrack Sessions
Working with ReWire tracks
To work with ReWire tracks, you must first set up ReWire connections, assigning ReWire
outputs to one or more tracks in a session. (See “Setting up ReWire connections” on
page 42.) ReWire tracks offer similar controls to audio tracks. For example, you can
quickly change volume, pan, and equalization settings, or you can apply real-time effects.
Similarly, you can assign a different device to a ReWire track at any time. Note, however,
that saved sessions store only changes made in Adobe Audition; be sure to also save any
changes made in the ReWire slave application.
When you synchronize via ReWire, you link the transport controls and timeline of Adobe
Audition and the ReWire slave application. For example, if you click the play button in the
slave application, Adobe Audition plays the linked session, sending the audio through the
outputs specified in the Device Properties dialog box. (See “Setting properties for audio
output devices” on page 37.) You can also, however, preview individual modules in the
slave application to hear them independently of the Adobe Audition session. When you
do, the modules send audio through the sound card specified in the Sounds and Audio
Devices control panel.
If you notice a timeline offset between Adobe Audition and the slave application, lower
the Playback Buffer Size on the Multitrack tab of the Settings dialog box (choose
Options > Settings). The default value is 1, but you can enter values as low as 0.1. Because
extremely low buffer sizes may cause audio to drop out, you may need to try different values
to find one that is acceptable.
To assign a different device to a ReWire track:
1 In the track controls, click the RW button.
2 For Device Type, select ReWire.
3 Select the device, and click OK.
To convert a ReWire track to an audio track:
Right-click the ReWire track, and choose Bounce.
