USING ADOBE AUDITION
Effects reference
Last updated 2/16/2012
Time Smoothing Determines how quickly distortion reacts to changes in input levels. Level measurements are based
on low-frequency content, creating softer, more musical distortion.
dB Range Changes the amplitude range of the graphs, limiting distortion to that range.
Linear Scale Changes the amplitude scales of the graphs from logarithmic decibels to normalized values.
Post-filter DC Offset Compensates for any sample offset introduced by distortion processing. To understand this
concept, see
“Correct DC offset” on page 30. Such offsets can cause audible pops and clicks when edited.

Guitar Suite effect
The Special > Guitar Suite effect applies a series of processors that optimize and alter the sound of guitar tracks. The
Compressor stage reduces dynamic range, producing a tighter sound with greater impact. Filter, Distortion, and Box
Modeler stages simulate common effects that guitarists use to create expressive, artistic performances.
Apply the Guitar Suite to vocals, drums, or other audio to create textured effects.
Compressor Reduces dynamic range to maintain consistent amplitude and help guitar tracks stand out in a mix.
Filter Simulates guitar filters ranging from resonators to talk boxes. Choose an option from this menu, and then set
options below:
• Type Determines which frequencies are filtered. Specify Lowpass to filter high frequencies, Highpass to filter low
frequencies, or Bandpass to filter frequencies above and below a center frequency.
• Freq Determines the cutoff frequency for Lowpass and Highpass filtering, or the center frequency for Bandpass
filtering.
• Resonance Feeds back frequencies near the cutoff frequency, adding crispness with low settings and whistling
harmonics with high settings.
Distortion Adds a sonic edge often heard in guitar solos. To change the distortion character, choose an option from
the Type menu.
Amplifier Simulates various amplifier and speaker combinations that guitarists use to create unique tones.
Mix Controls the ratio of original to processed audio.

Mastering effect
Mastering describes the complete process of optimizing audio files for a particular medium, such as radio, video, CD,
or the web. In Adobe Audition, you can quickly master audio with the Special
> Mastering effect.
