36 CHAPTER 2
Setting up Adobe Audition
Setting up devices
You can use a wide range of devices with Adobe Audition. Sound card inputs let you bring
audio signals into Adobe Audition through sources such as microphones, tape decks, and
digital effects units. Sound card outputs let you monitor audio signals through sources
such as speakers and headphones. MIDI ports let you connect Adobe Audition to MIDI
keyboards and synthesizers. You can also synchronize Adobe Audition with ReWire appli-
cations and hardware or software components that support SMPTE/MTC timecode.
Designating which devices you want to use
The Device Order dialog box lets you designate which devices you want to use with Adobe
Audition. When working in Edit View, you can designate one stereo output device to use
for playback and one stereo input device to use for recording. When working in Multitrack
View, you can assign different input and output devices to each audio track. However,
before you can do this, you must specify which devices you plan to use and the order in
which you want to view them.
If your audio system includes MIDI devices, you can also designate which MIDI input and
output devices you want to use. For example, you can designate a MIDI keyboard to use
for triggering commands and a MIDI synthesizer channel to use for playback. (See “About
using MIDI devices” on page 39.)
To designate the devices you want to use:
1 Choose Options > Device Order.
2 Click the tab for the type of device you want to designate: Playback, Recording, MIDI
Output, or MIDI Input.
3 Move the devices you want to use into the Multitrack Device Preference Order list by
selecting devices in the Unused list and clicking Use. Remove the devices you don’t want
to use by selecting devices in the Multitrack Device Preference Order list and clicking
Remove.
Note: You can specify up to 16 stereo devices or 32 mono devices in the Multitrack Device
Preference Order list.
4 Designate the device you want to use in Edit View by selecting the device and clicking
Use in EV. [EV] appears after the device name.
