User Guide
Show Center Lines Displays center lines in the waveform display. The center lines
represent zero amplitude of the waveform’s right and left channels.
Show Boundary Lines Displays boundary lines in the waveform display. Boundary lines
are the horizontal lines that visually indicate where the waveform’s amplitude approaches
or exceeds the clipping level. The value in the Display Boundary Lines At option specifies
the amplitude at which the boundary lines appear.
Peak Files Specifies options for peak (.pk) files, which Adobe Audition uses to store infor-
mation about how to display WAV files. Peak files make file opening almost instantaneous
by greatly reducing the time it takes to draw the waveform (especially with larger files).
• Peaks Cache: Determines the number of samples per block to be used when storing
peak files. Larger values reduce the RAM requirement for large files at the expense of
slightly slower drawing at some zoom levels. If RAM is an issue on your system, and
you’re working with very large files (several hundred megabytes or more in size),
consider increasing the Peaks Cache to 1024 or even 1536 or 2048.
• Save Peak Cache Files: Specifies that peak files are saved with all .wav files (in the same
folder) with the extension .pk following the original audio filename.
• Rebuild Wave Display Now: Click to rescan the current file for sample amplitudes and
redraw the waveform.
Data options
The Data tab in the Settings dialog box provides options for controlling how Adobe
Audition handles audio data.
Embed Project Link Data For Edit Original Functionality Links session files with exported
mixdown files. Once these files are linked, you can select a mixdown file in Adobe
Premiere Pro or After Effects, and then open and remix the related session in Adobe
Audition’s Multitrack View.
Auto-Convert All Data To 32-Bit Upon Opening Converts all 8-bit and 16-bit data to
32-bit when a file is opened, and all subsequent operations will keep the data in the
32-bit realm.
Interpret 32-Bit PCM .wav Files As 16.8 Float Causes this version of Adobe Audition to be
compatible with previous versions when it comes to handling 32-bit PCM .wav files.
