Chapter 14: File Menu – Multitrack View
he File menu in the Multitrack View offers functions relating to opening, saving, and otherwise manipulating
session files.
About Sessions
An Adobe Audition “session” uses session (*.ses) files and their specific structure to save all of the information that relates
to a current multitrack project. This information includes audio file placement, mix/pan parameters, mute/solo settings,
and more. All of your multitrack masterpieces are saved to and recalled from disk as a session file. Only one session can
be active at a time.
Note: Keep in mind that your session files save just the information that relates to a current multitrack project. Session files
don’t contain their associated waveforms. It’s important to keep your waveforms intact and within their original folder.
New Session
This command creates a new, empty session, where you record or insert audio into multiple tracks. When creating a new
session, you’ll be prompted to specify its sample rate. Any audio files to be used in a session must share these properties,
or be converted upon inserting them.

Sample Rate This value determines how many frequencies can be encoded in the audio signal. Higher sampling rates
mean a wider bandwidth. Popular sample rates are already listed; just click on one to select it. Or, enter a custom number
in the Sample Rate box to specify a different rate from those provided. However, keep in mind that most sound cards
only support certain sample rates.
