How to apply Adobe Audition sound effects

Adobe Audition is an audio application designed for video editors, web designers and developers, motion-graphics 

artists, and other creative professionals. Using Adobe Audition, you can edit single audio files in the Waveform 

Editor or you can work on multitrack audio sessions in the Multitrack Editor. 

Audition includes a large collection of sound effects. An effect is an easy way to distort or modify a sound. You can 

use effects to improve sound quality by reducing hiss, hum, and other unwanted noises in your original recordings. 

There is even a set of effects that improve the sound of voices: female, male, or music vocals. For more information 

on using effects to reduce noise, refer to the “How to edit audio tracks” guide. 

You can also use effects to modify or distort sounds to match the story, scene, or imagery in a video clip. For example, 

your movie may include a telephone conversation, but the dialog was recorded in a studio. No problem. Open the 

recording in Adobe Audition and apply the On The Telephone effect preset. 

You can apply effects directly to an audio file in the Waveform Editor by selecting an effect in the Effects menu. You 

can also add multiple effects to the same file or track in a multitrack session by using an Effects Rack. An Effects 

Rack enables you to blend multiple effects, adding and removing them until you get the result you want. Adobe 

Audition effects should not be confused with royalty-free sound effects, sometimes referred to as sound fx, that you 

can downoad and use to create a movie soundtrack. Royalty-free sound effects are explained in the “How to use 

loops, music beds, and sound effects” guide.

In this guide, you apply Adobe Audition built-in sound effects and filters to an individual file and to a multitrack 

session.
