Encoding Specifies the data storage scheme for the file. If you are unsure what encoding the file uses, consult the
supplier of the file, or the documentation for the application that created it. In many cases, trial and error might be
necessary.
Byte Order Specifies the numerical sequence for bytes of data. The Little-Endian method is common to WAV files,
while the Big-Endian method is common to AIFF files. The Default Byte Order automatically applies the default for
your system processor and is typically the best option.
Insert an audio file into a multitrack session
When you insert an audio file in the Multitrack Editor, the file becomes an audio clip on the selected track. If you insert
several files at once, or a single file that’s longer than the space available on the selected track, Adobe Audition inserts
new clips on the nearest empty tracks.
1 In the Multitrack Editor, select a track, and then place the current-time indicator at the desired time position.
2 Choose Multitrack > Insert File.
3 Select an audio or video file. (See “Supported import formats” on page 24.)

Spot-insert a Broadcast Wave file into a session
When you insert a Broadcast Wave (BWF) file into a multitrack session, Adobe Audition can use the embedded
timestamp to insert the file at a specific time. This is commonly called spot-inserting.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Multitrack (Windows) or Audition > Preferences > Multitrack (Mac OS).
2 Select Use Embedded Timecode When Inserting Clips Into Multitrack.
3 In the Multitrack Editor, select a track.
4 Choose Multitrack > Insert File, and select a BWF file.
Adobe Audition inserts an audio clip at the designated start time.
To view or edit the timestamp for a BWF clip, open the clip in the Waveform Editor, and then choose Window >
Metadata. On the BWF tab, the timestamp value appears as the Time Reference.
