Chapter 8: Mixing multitrack sessions
Multitrack Editor overview
About multitrack sessions
In the Multitrack Editor, you can mix together multiple audio tracks to create layered soundtracks and elaborate
musical compositions. You can record and mix unlimited tracks, and each track can contain as many clips as you
need—the only limits are hard disk space and processing power. When you’re happy with a mix, you can export a
mixdown file for use on CD, the web, and more.
The Multitrack Editor is an extremely flexible, real-time editing environment, so you can change settings during
playback and immediately hear the results. While listening to a session, for example, you can adjust track volume to
properly blend tracks together. Any changes you make are impermanent, or
nondestructive
. If a mix doesn’t sound
good next week, or even next year, you can simply remix the original source files, freely applying and removing effects
to create different sonic textures.
Adobe Audition saves information about source files and mix settings in session (.sesx) files. Session files are relatively
small because they contain only pathnames to source files and references to mix parameters (such as volume, pan, and
effect settings). To more easily manage session files, save them in a unique folder with the source files they reference.
If you later need to move the session to another computer, you can simply move the unique session folder.

Editing multitrack sessions in the Editor panel and Mixer
