Leveraging the Multitrack Editor for efficient editing - Audition Tutorial

- If you're looking to edit podcast audio efficiently and effectively, you've come to the right class. Audio is one of the most important aspects for video and can definitely make or break your podcast. I've personally been editing podcast audio in Adobe's Multitrack Editor for over four years now, mainly for my own podcast, as well as my team YouTube channel, which is called Imagine Blue. In that channel, I actually record with five different people, which is five different audio files. So unless I want to spend a whole lot of hours editing audio, I had no choice but to figure out the most efficient, yet still effective way of editing podcast audio. So in this class, what we're going to do is cover those methods on how I edit podcast audio in Adobe Edition's Multitrack Editor, whether it's for video or just audio. So here's what you're going to learn. Firstly, how to set up your microphones with the Multitrack Editor. Then how to position your microphones to optimize the sound. From there, we'll go over how to navigate the Multitrack Editor and how to optimize the space to your liking. Then we'll learn how to switch between the Multitrack Editor and Waveform Editor quickly. After that, we'll go over how to use the editing tools in the Multitrack Editor, how to save a lot of time using the shorten silence tool, and how to deal with microphone bleed. And finally, we'll cover how to finalize your audio by creating a mix down. Lastly, for the class project, I want you guys to come out with a well-polished final mix down for your own podcast. Each lesson will have an action step that will get you one step closer to completing the class project. So if you want to get the most out of the class, be sure to do those action steps right after finishing the lesson. With that said, I'll see you guys in the first lesson.
