Saving and exporting files
Note: Some features in the Windows version of Adobe Audition 3.0 are not available in CS5.5. Examples include some
file formats and effects, CD burning, MIDI, the metronome, clip grouping and time stretching, and control surface
support. For a complete list, see
Adobe Audition 3.0 features replaced or not implemented in CS5.5.
Save audio files
In the Waveform Editor, you can save audio files in a variety of common formats. The format you choose depends on
how you plan to use the file. (See
“Audio format settings” on page 137.) Keep in mind that each format stores unique
information that might be discarded if you save a file in a different format.
1 In the Waveform Editor, do one of the following:
• To save changes in the current file, choose File > Save.
• To save changes under a different filename, choose File > Save As. Or choose File > Export > File to keep the current
file open.
• To save currently selected audio as a new file, choose File > Save Selection As.
• To save all open files in their current formats, choose File > Save All.
Use the Save Selection As command to break up a long recording into smaller, more manageable files.
2 Specify a filename and location, and choose a file format.
3 Set the following options:
Sample Type Indicates the sample rate and bit depth. To adjust these options, click Change. (See “Convert the sample
rate of a file” on page 53.)
Format Settings Indicates data compression and storage modes; to adjust these, click Change. (See “Audio format
settings” on page 137.)
Include Markers and Other Metadata Includes audio markers and information from the Metadata panel in saved files.
(See
“Working with markers” on page 45 and “Viewing and editing XMP metadata” on page 138.)
Note: Some CD-burning applications misinterpret non-audio information such as markers and metadata, producing an
unpleasant burst of noise at the beginning of each track.

Extract audio channels to mono files
If you want to edit or output individual channels of a stereo or surround-sound file, extract them to mono files. Adobe
Audition appends the channel name to each extracted filename. For example, a stereo source file named Jazz.aif
produces mono files named Jazz_L and Jazz_R.
❖ In the Waveform Editor, choose Edit > Extract Channels To Mono Files.
