Set or clear a default session
After you set a default session, it opens whenever you start Adobe Audition. This default can also serve as a template
for new sessions, letting you share settings, such as track inputs and volume levels, across multiple sessions.
Clearing a default session does not affect the session files themselves. It simply prevents Adobe Audition from
automatically opening a specific session each time you start the application.
❖ In Multitrack View, do one of the following:
• To set a session as the default, open it, and choose File > Default Session > Set Current Session As Default. If the
session contains clips, click Yes in the dialog box that appears.
• To specify no default session, choose File > Default Session > Clear Default Session.
Insert an audio file into a session
When you insert an audio file in Multitrack View, 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.

(See “Spot insert a Broadcast Wave file into a session” on page 47.)
1 In Multitrack View, select a track, and then place the start-time indicator at the desired time position.
2 Do one of the following:
• To insert one or more audio files, choose Insert > Audio, select the files, and click Open. (To preview the contents
of selected files, click Play or select Auto Play. Select Loop to repeat previews and Stop to end them.)
• To insert the audio portion of a video file in AVI, MOV, MPEG, or WMV format, choose Insert > Audio From
Video, select a file, and click Open.
• To insert a currently open audio file, choose Insert > [file name].

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 In Multitrack View, do any of the following to use embedded timestamps:
• Choose Insert > Insert Using BWF Timestamp.
• Right-click in the Files panel, and choose Use BWF Time Reference Offset.
