User Guide
Waveform display The area of Edit View in which you view and edit audio data. By default
this audio material appears as a waveform, but you can view it in spectral form by
choosing View > Spectral View.
Wet Used to describe an audio signal that includes signal processing such as reverb; the
opposite of Dry.
White noise White noise has a spectral frequency of 1, so equal proportions of all
frequencies are present. Because more individual frequencies exist in the upper ranges of
human hearing, white noise sounds very hissy. Adobe Audition generates white noise by
choosing random values for each sample.
Z
Zero crossing A point in time where a waveform crosses the zero amplitude line. To make
edits sound smoother, place them at zero-crossing points, thus avoiding abrupt changes
in amplitude that cause pops and clicks.
