Adobe Audition

[Thom W]

I use Adobe Audition for recording and editing all the audio stuff I do for radio and myself. Are there any useful tips any of you lot know of for prodcution/post-production in this software?

I'd highly reccomend it btw. Although the price-tag is a bit stupid.

I use ver 1.5. What I do is record everything in it, save it as a WAV file then use an application called T-RackS 24, then import the new Wav file and save it out as an AAC file.

I use v1.5. It's tremendous. Probably too much for the average podcaster (such as myself), but it's got many features you might use down the road that Audacity doesn't have. But you can't beat free when it comes to Audacity.

I just run the raw file through the standard Compression/Normalize/Amplify procedure in Audition, then save as an mp3.

I'd suggest looking on ebay for Audition if you don't want to pay full price.

I use 2.0. I've built a guitar-centric home recording studio and I have to say Audition is nowhere near being overpriced for the things you can do with it. Granted there are a few bugs concerning the new ASIO drivers but I love using it.

For podcasts I run EQ, FFT Filter, noise reduction, gate, expander, and normalize.

I've learned running the FFT filter to cut frequencies you don't need before you encode to mp3 creates far superior results than the mp3 encoder's built in highpass filter.

For the FFT filter I do a high pass at 100hz (that cuts every frequency below it) and a lowpass at 9,250hz(that cuts any frequency above it). This allows more bits to be used to encode the useful part of the spectrum that speech takes up.

When saving to mp3 I set advanced options as follows:
Maxium bandwidth: 9250
Bitrate: 40
Sample Rate: 22050
Check Mid-Joint Stereo
uncheck every other option

This allows for the highest quality, smallest size voice-only podcasts IMHO.

as X pat radio mentioned, T-Racks 24 is great. Does and amazing compression / limiter job for talk podcasts.

After I got the settings right, I saved them as a preset.
