Working with MIDI tracks
Audition can import MIDI files as clips on MIDI tracks. MIDI tracks contain a subset of
the controls available for audio tracks: a name text box and controls for solo, mute, and
volume. MIDI tracks also, however, contain one unique control: a Map button for
assigning MIDI output devices.
Adobe Audition doesn’t include MIDI clips in exported mixdown files. You can, however,
convert MIDI clips to audio clips by recording the output of a MIDI sound module on an
audio track.
Note: In general MIDI terminology, MIDI tracks are instrument tracks in MIDI files. In Adobe
Audition, however, MIDI tracks contain MIDI clips, which in turn contain instrument tracks.
For more information, search for “Working with MIDI” in Help.
Using real-time effects
In Multitrack View, you can apply real-time effects to audio and ReWire tracks. With these
flexible effects, you can adjust effects settings as a mix plays. Because real-time effects are
nondestructive, you can remove them from a track at any time. You can also change the
order of effects to produce a different sonic texture. (For example, you can place Reverb
prior to Sweeping Phaser, or vice versa.)
To change an effects mix over time, use clip envelopes. (See “Automating mixes with clip
envelopes” on page 188.)
Applying and removing real-time effects
You can apply real-time effects by using either the Organizer window or the Effects Rack
dialog box. To remove or reorder these effects, however, you must use the Effects Rack
dialog box. You can also use this dialog box to save groups of real-time effects as a preset,
which you can quickly apply to multiple tracks.
