Opening and adding to sessions in Multitrack View
Create a new session
Session files contain no audio data themselves. Instead, they are small files that point to other audio files on the hard
drive. A session file keeps track of which files are a part of the session, where they are inserted, which envelopes and
effects are applied, and so on.
1 Choose File > New Session.
2 Select a sample rate that your sound card supports. (To determine supported sample rates, consult the documen-
tation for the card.)
Note: All files added to a session must share the sample rate. If you attempt to import files with different sample rates,
Adobe Audition prompts you to resample them, which may lower audio quality.
3 (Optional) Select Use Default Session to use that session as a template. (See “Set or clear a default session” on
page 47.)
4 Click OK.
