Activity Forums Adobe Audition procedural question

    I am doing a lot of work with very low bitrate mp3 files, each of which are of a very long duration. For instance, a 60-ish megabyte file that is about 5 hours long.

    I was wondering about how Audition saves such files while it is working– do they take up 60 megabytes while in use, or more?

    Another odd question: I am stretching these 5 hour files again and again– taking them to 10 hours, then splitting them into two equal parts. So file 1A is 5 hours, gets stretched to 10, then gets split into two files, becoming files 2A and 2B, each of which are 5 hours. Every step I take in Audition takes my PC quite a bit of time to accomplish, so I’m trying to figure out a good way to automate this. In Photoshop, I can record an action– can Audition do anything similar? Regardless, what would be the easiest “least-step” method of accomplishing this?

    I know these questions are a little weird, but they will help me tremendously.

    1. Audition uses uncompressed PCM while working. IT’s hard to give a real estimation, but for a typical mp3 file, Audition will need about 10 times the space.

    2. Audition has a scripting function. The help file will give you more info.
