Set the following options as desired, and click OK:
Set Amount Of Silence
Adds silence between cue points in the current waveform. Enter
the number of seconds of silence you want in the Add Silence Before and Add Silence After
text boxes.
Save To Files
Splits the audio between cue points in the active waveform to new files.
Use Cue Label As Filename
Uses the name of the cue as the prefix for the filename.
Filename Prefix

automatically adds numbers after the prefix (phrase02, phrase03, and so on) in addition
to the correct extension based on the output format you specify.
Seq. Start
Specifies the number to begin with when appending numbers to the filename
prefix.
Destination Folder
Specifies the folder in which you want Adobe Audition to place new
“split” files. Click Browse to open the Choose Destination Folder window and locate a
different folder.
Output Format
Sets the output format. Depending on the format, Options is available.
Click Options to select options for that format.
Normalizing groups of files
When you normalize a waveform, the loudest part of the waveform is set to a specified
amplitude, thereby raising or lowering all other parts of the same waveform by the same
amount. Group Waveform Normalize lets you normalize the volume of multiple open
waveforms by using a three-screen batch process. If the volume is raised as part of the
normalization process, Adobe Audition can apply limiting to prevent clipping.
If you’re getting ready to master an audio CD, using Group Waveform Normalize is a great
way to make sure that all tracks on the CD have a consistent volume.
To normalize a group of files:
1
Choose Edit > Group Waveform Normalize.
2
Select the open waveforms you want to normalize. Click to select a single file, Shift-click
to select contiguous files, Ctrl-click to select noncontiguous files, and drag to select a
group of files.
