User Guide

Selecting audio data

To edit a waveform, you must first select the audio data that you want to modify. Adobe
Audition provides several methods for making and adjusting selections.

Using cues ranges can save you time when making selections. (See “Working with cues”
on page 96.)

Selecting with the mouse

You can select a range of audio data by dragging in the waveform display. When precision
is important, you may want to zoom in to view the waveform in more detail. (See “Zooming”
on page 17.)

Dragging to select a range

To select a range of a waveform:

Drag to select the desired range of the waveform.

To extend or shorten a selection:

Shift-click the end of the selection that you wish to modify, and drag to extend or shorten it.

Note: If you prefer, you can right-click to extend or shorten a selection. To enable this feature,
select Extend Selection in the General tab of the Settings dialog box. (See “Setting Adobe
Audition preferences” on page 43.)
