USING ADOBE AUDITION

Editing audio files

Last updated 2/16/2012

Examples of markers

A. 

Marker point  

B. 

Marker range  

Note: 

To preserve markers when you save a file, select Include Markers and Other Metadata. 

Add, select, and rename markers

Though you can add markers directly in the Editor panel, you use the Markers panel (Windows

 

> Markers) to define 

and select markers.

To hide or show information such as Duration and Type, choose Markers Display from the panel menu

 

Add a marker

1

Do one of the following:

Play audio.

Place the current-time indicator 

 where you want a marker point to be.

Select the audio data you want to define as a marker range.

2

Either press the M key, or click the Add Marker button

 

 in the Markers panel. 

To automatically create markers where silence occurs, see “

Delete Silence and Mark Audio options

” on page

  80. 

Select markers

Click a marker in the Editor or Markers panel. Or double-click to move the current-time indicator 

 to that 

location and select the area for range markers.

To select adjacent markers, click the first marker you want to select in the Markers panel, and then Shift-click the 
last. 

To select nonadjacent markers, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) them in the Markers panel.

To move the current-time indicator to the nearest marker, choose Edit > Marker > Move CTI to Next or Previous.

Rename a marker

1

In the Markers panel, select the marker.

2

Click the marker name, and enter a new name.

Adjust, merge, convert, or delete markers

After creating markers, you can fine-tune them to best address the needs of an audio project.
