The Master track , which is the last in each session, lets you easily combine the outputs of multiple tracks and buses. You can also control them with a single fader. For more information, see Routing audio to buses, sends, and the Master track. Multitrack sessions support an unlimited number of mono, stereo, and 5.
When adding tracks, choose a channel configuration based on the configuration of the Master track:. For stereo masters, add stereo audio and bus tracks. Except for audio tracks with mono sources like a single microphone.
For 5. If you have any 5. For information about converting a waveform between surround, stereo, and mono, see the following:.

To hide tracks, use the eye icon. When you use the vertical Zoom options in the lower right of the Editor panel, all tracks zoom simultaneously.
If a session contains many tracks, it is advised to zoom them individually. Note: To quickly zoom all tracks, roll the mouse wheel over the track controls. To horizontally resize all track controls, drag the right border. Note: For more techniques, see Zoom audio in the Editor panel. You can mute solo tracks to hear them separately from the rest of a mix. Conversely, you can mute tracks to silence them in a mix. Tip : To remove other tracks from Solo mode by default, select Track Solo: Exclusive in the Multitrack section of the Preferences dialog box.
Regardless of this setting, when you solo a bus, assigned tracks are always placed in Solo mode. Assign audio inputs and outputs to tracks. Record audio clips in the Multitrack Editor.

On this page Understanding video, audio, bus, and master tracks Choose between mono, stereo, and 5. Applies to: Adobe Audition. Understanding video, audio, bus, and master tracks. For this example, we will create stereo stems.
This instantly moves the project into Audition, with the clip layout intact. Busses can be created anywhere in a project, however, by tradition, they are placed after all source audio tracks and before the Master track.
If it makes you feel better to place them somewhere else, feel free to do so. Double-click the default name and change it to something more useful. Because I like clear, obvious track names, I use:. NOTE : There is no limit to the number of busses you can create.
For example, to mix a recording session, you might want to create a bus containing all the mics in the drum kit, another for all the brass, or for strings… and so on.
Anytime you want to control a variety of different tracks using a single control, a bus is your best choice. Next, we need to assign specific tracks to specific busses. Tracks can be assigned in the mixer or the timeline. To assign a track to a bus in the timeline, expand the track header so you can see the Master output menu. It will be the second of three drop-down menus in the track header. Repeat this process until all the tracks you want to assign to a bus are assigned.
Here, in the mixer, all eight tracks are now routed to a bus. One track can only be routed to a single bus. At this point, we use busses the same as a track. A bus can change levels, use keyframes, include effects and route itself to another bus or to the master output track. With broadcast and national cable mixes, we need to worry about more than peaks. Which means we need to measure loudness. So, on the Master output track, I added the Loudness Radar filter to make sure that my peaks were not distorting and the average audio level stayed within their spec to LKFS.
I spent a bit of time tweaking the levels and adjusting the filters, but, at this point, the organizational process of adding the busses for control and effects was complete.
Assuming you sent the project from Premiere to Audition on the same system, to output the stems and mix for Premiere:. When you click OK , the mix is almost instantly transferred to Premiere and loaded into the timeline.
At which point, you are ready for final output. If the original file was not directly sent from Premiere to Audition, or if you want to output files for Final Cut Pro X:.
But, for any project that has more than a few tracks, I find busses are indispensable for organizing and controlling my mix. And how long did this whole process take? From creating a new project, importing media and setting effects to final output was 14 minutes; and the difference it made to the mix was amazing. Hi Larry, thanks for the super helpful tips!
The exporting buses to separate files is already saving me a bunch of time.
