QUESTION: I often do many types of mixdowns, one after the other. I might want to fade & mute the
not change
remaining portion, and then in the next mixdown not have it fade & continue till the end. But if I split it into
the original
two files (virtual, not really two .wav files right?), can Humpty Dumpty easily be put back together again?
.wav file ½ !
A: Yes, there's an unsplit command and it works. Furthermore, you can have as many .ses files for the
same set of .wav files as you want, and each is completely independent. You can do some edits, save
the ses file under one name, do some more edits, save the ses file under another name, etc. Later on if
you come back and load first ses file you saved, a new mixdown will result in the same mixdown as you
might have made with it way back when you first (and last) saved that ses file. Remember, the MT view
is non-destructive editing. Believe me not? Do some editing in MT view, save the session and check the
dates of last update on the .wav files. They won't change! I've been working on a mixdown from a
performance I recorded last Sunday and had someone save at 1 pm, and the dates on the .wav files are
still from last Sunday at 1 pm.

out a track block will have a green line (volume envelope) at the top & a blue line (pan envelope) in the middle of the
track. You're going to put dots on the volume line, then drag those dots down to fade it out, wherever you
like. Its very easy !

Q: Does fading it w/ the vol. envelop 2 min into the song tell CEP to stop the song (if I export to mp3) at 2
min when the vol. reaches zero?

ANSWER: No, but splitting the block at the end of the fade and muting the 2nd block will result in a
mixdown that is only 2 minutes long.

'automation' Place your track in multitrack view, click on the FX button for that track and set the effects as desired
(e.g. set it for dry 0% and wet 100%). Then, from the VIEW menu, select "Show Wet/Dry Mix
Envelopes." A kind of mustard-yellow line will appear at the top of the waveform (the color may be
different on your system, though). Because it's at the top, the effect will be applied at 100%, so if you
want the track dry at the start, drag it down to the bottom, pulling it up toward the end. You can then
adjust this envelope to change the wet/dry ratio throughout the track, just the way you would adjust the
volume envelope. Furthermore, you can right-click the waveform to pull up another menu. At the bottom
of this menu, from the Envelopes tab, you can even tell Audition that you want to use spline curves on
the FX Mix.

Fade out Click the green 'volume' line to add break points. You can click and drag break points to create an
tracks in envelope that slopes to zero. That's a fade out! If you create a break point you don't want, just click and
multitrack drag it down a bit, and then without releasing it, drag it sharply towards the top of the track. The break
view point will disappear. One advantage of non-destructive editing is that it minimizes the time it takes to
save changes. The changes will be reflected in any mixdown files, but they won't be reflected in the
actual .wav files. Another advantage is you can save different changes to a given session without filling
your hard drive up with multiple copies of the track files.
