Adobe AUDITION 1.5 - Manual (Page 40)

CHAPTER 1 32
Looking at the Work Area
3 Do one of the following:
• Choose Effects > Enable Preroll And Postroll Preview.
• In an effects dialog box, select Enable Preroll And Postroll Preview. This option appears
below the Presets. If a dialog box does not have Preset, the Enable Preroll And Postroll
Preview option will not appear; however, you can still enable preroll and postroll
preview by choosing Effects > Enable Preroll And Postroll Preview.
4 Preview an effect as described in the previous procedure.
Using plug-in effects
DirectX and VST plug-ins let you extend the already powerful effects at your disposal in
Adobe Audition. Before you can start using plug-in effects, you must set them up in Adobe
Audition. For DirectX effects, this process involves enabling the effects and then refreshing
the effects list. For VST effects, you need to verify that Adobe Audition is scanning the
directories where the effects are installed; then, you must refresh the effects list.
After that, using plug-in effects is as easy as using any other Adobe Audition effect. Just
select an area to process, and choose the effect from the Effects > DirectX or Effects > VST
menu (or from the Effects tab of the Organizer Window). Of course, you'll need to consult
the documentation provided by the plug-in manufacturer for any help with its features.
Note: If Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition are installed on the same computer, Adobe
Audition automatically displays the VST plug-ins that come with Adobe Premiere Pro.
To enable DirectX effects:
Do one of the following:
• In Edit View, choose Effects > Enable DirectX Effects.
• In Multitrack View, click the FX button in the track controls. In the Track Effects Rack
dialog box, click Enable DirectX Effects, and then click OK.
This causes Adobe Audition to scan your system for DirectX plug-ins. After the plug-ins
are activated, the Enable DirectX Effects option is removed from the menu and dialog box.
