USING ADOBE AUDITION

Mixing multitrack sessions

Last updated 2/16/2012

Name text box in the Editor panel

Position the pointer to the left of the track name, and then drag either up or down in the Editor panel, or right or 
left in the Mixer.

Moving a track in the Editor panel

Vertically zoom tracks

When you use the vertical Zoom options in the lower right of the Editor panel, all tracks zoom simultaneously. If a 
session contains many tracks, however, you may prefer to zoom them individually.

In the track controls, drag the top or bottom border of the track up or down.

To quickly zoom all tracks, roll the mouse wheel over the track controls. To horizontally resize all track controls, drag 
the right border. 

Vertically zooming an individual track
