Create, open, or import files in Adobe Audition

Determines the frequency range of the file. To reproduce a given frequency, the sample rate must be at least twice that frequency. (See Understanding sample rate.)

Determines if the waveform is mono, stereo, 5.1 surround . Adobe Audition saves the last five custom audio channel layouts that you had used for quick access. 

Determines the amplitude range of the file. The 32‑bit level provides maximum processing flexibility in Adobe Audition. For compatibility with common applications, however, convert to a lower bit depth when editing is complete. (See Understanding bit depth and Change the bit depth of a file.)

Specifies either a default template or one you've created. Session templates specify source files and settings such as Sample Rate and Bit Depth.

Determines the frequency range of the session. To reproduce a given frequency, the sample rate must be at least twice that frequency. (See Understanding sample rate.)

Determines the amplitude range of the session, including recordings and files created with the Multitrack > Mixdown To New File command. (See Understanding bit depth.)

Determines whether tracks are mixed down to a mono, stereo, or 5.1 Mix track. (See Routing audio to buses, sends, and the Mix track.)

Select an audio or video file. (See Supported import formats.)

In the Waveform Editor, do either of the following:

• To add to the active file, choose File > Open Append > To Current.
• To add to a new file, choose File > Open Append > To New.

In the Open Append dialog box, select one or more files.

Click Open.

Match the known rate of the file, if possible. For examples of common settings, see Understanding sample rate. Adobe Audition can import raw data with rates ranging from 1 Hz to 10,000,000 Hz. But playback and recording are supported only between 6000 Hz and 192,000 Hz.

Enter a number from 1 to 32.

Specifies the data storage scheme for the file. If you are unsure what encoding the file uses, consult the supplier of the file, or the documentation for the application that created it.

Specifies the numerical sequence for bytes of data. The Little-Endian method is common to WAV files, while the Big-Endian method is common to AIFF files. The Default Byte Order automatically applies the default for your system processor and is typically the best option.

Specifies the data point in the file at which the import process begins.

In the Multitrack Editor, select a track, and then place the playhead at the desired time position.

Choose Multitrack > Insert Files.

Select an audio or video file. (See Supported import formats.)

Choose Multitrack > Insert Files, and select one or more BWF files.

Click File > Import > File and choose the Adobe Premiere Pro project to import.

The Import a Premiere Pro Sequence dialogue box opens with the list of sequences the project contains. You can select the specific sequence that you want to open. The selected sequence is directly imported referencing the original media.

Some content or clip-routing configuration requires the audio to be rendered. For example, synthetic content, nested sequences, and incompatible channel-routing configuration require rendering. If you choose to not render these sequences, they appear offline.

To enable or disable the Render Unsupported Content and Clip Channel Routing check box, do the following:

• Open the Import Options drop-down on the Import a Premiere Pro sequence dialogue box.

You can select the location to save the rendered content using the Project Folder and Custom Location radio buttons. Click Browse to select a custom location.
