Using the status bar
The status bar runs along the very bottom of Adobe Audition’s main window. It can
display information such as sample format, file size, and free disk space.
Status bar
A. Data Under Cursor B. Sample Format C. File Size D. File Size (time) E. Free Space
F. Free Space (time) G. Keyboard Modifiers H. SMPTE Slave Stability
To show or hide the status bar:
Do one of the following:
• Choose View > Status Bar > Show. A check mark indicates that the status bar is visible.
• Click the Hide/Show Status Bar button in the View toolbar. (See “Using toolbars” on
page 13.)
To change the type of information that is displayed in the Status Bar:
Choose View > Status Bar or right-click the Status Bar, and select the desired display
options. Selected items appear in the Status Bar; unselected items are hidden.
You can choose from the following options:
Data Under Cursor Shows useful information such as the channel (if a current
waveform is stereo), the amplitude (measured in decibels), and the time
(hours:minutes:seconds:hundredths of seconds) from the beginning of the audio file.
This data is computed at the precise point where your mouse pointer is placed within the
wave display, and changes dynamically when you move the pointer. For example, if you see
R: –15.2 dB @ 0:00:242 in the Status Bar when in Edit View, this means that your pointer
is over the right channel at 0.242 seconds into the waveform, and the amplitude at that
precise point is –15.2 dB.
In the Multitrack View, you’ll see even more beneficial data such as Pan and Volume
envelope positions, envelope positions for effects envelopes, dynamic effect settings, and
the current position of the wave block as you drag it around.
Sample Format Displays sample information about the currently opened waveform. For
example, a 44,100 kHz 16-bit stereo file shows up as 44100 – 16-bit – stereo.
