Lesson 1. A Quick Tour of Adobe Audition

In this lesson, you will be introduced to the tools and interface of Adobe Audition 2.0. Future lessons provide more in-depth exercises and specific details of the tools and features. You’ll start the tour by opening a partially completed Audition session where you’ll add the finishing touches to a 60 second jazz song. In this Quick Tour, you will learn how to navigate within Audition, add music tracks, use loops, repair noisy audio, and then export the session to an .mp3 audio file.

The example files and resources that accompany this lesson are found on the Adobe Audition 2.0 Classroom in a Book CD. Before you proceed with the following steps, you need to copy these resources from the CD to your hard disk. If you have not already done so, see “Copying the Classroom in a Book files” on page 2.
