Chapter 12: Scripting and Batch
Processing

f you regularly perform certain audio tasks, you can automate them with scripts and
batch processing to work more efficiently.

About scripting and batch processing

Adobe Audition scripts let you save a series of actions such as copying data or applying an
effect, so you can perform those actions again with the click of a button. Scripts are simple
text files that are similar to macros; Adobe Audition stores the exact actions of your mouse
and any tweaking of parameters, so you can repeat them in the same sequence when you
run the script.

For example, suppose you have a combination of effects with particular settings (an EQ
setting, a Hall reverb, and so on) that you want to apply often and in combination to
achieve a certain sound. You can record these steps, along with effects’ specific settings,
and then apply them at any time simply by calling the script.

Batch processing cue ranges

You can use the Batch feature in the Cue List to add silence between cues and save the
audio between cues to new files. For more information about cues, the Cue List, and cue
ranges, see “Working with cues” on page 96.

To batch process cues:

1

Choose Window > Cue List.

2

Select one or more cues in the Cue List dialog box. At least one of the cues you select

must be a range.

3

Click Batch at the bottom of the dialog box.
