Audition
ou can customize the way Adobe Audition works by setting up devices and internal
preferences.
About setting up Adobe Audition
Setup tasks fall into several categories. Perhaps the most important is setting up the devices
you want to use with Adobe Audition. If you have multiple sound cards, or a single card that
has multiple inputs and outputs, you need to specify which devices you want to use for
playback and recording. In addition, you can set up MIDI devices, external controllers, and
ReWire connections for use with Adobe Audition. For more information on these tasks, see
“Setting up devices” on page 36.
Another category of setup tasks is customizing internal Adobe Audition preferences to
best suit your needs. For example, you can change the appearance of the workspace, set
buffer sizes to optimize performance, change the locations of temporary folders to better
utilize disk space, and customize the wave and session displays. For more information on
these tasks, see “Setting Adobe Audition preferences” on page 43.
A final category of setup tasks is managing the size of temporary files. The size of
temporary files is limited only by the amount of disk space that is available; however, when
you’re working with very large files (or when you have many files open at the same time),
your disk space may run low. If this happens, you can delete temporary files you’re not
using, clear specific Undo items, and change the amount of reserve space. For more infor-
mation on these tasks, see “Managing temporary files” on page 57.
