If you get yourself a gate plug-in (try dontcrack.com) and apply it to the active track you can set a threshold where the audio will be allowed to pass through it e.g. setting it to gate below about -5dB will stop any signal quieter than -5dB from coming through. I don’t know if this will work since Audition applies the effect directly rather than applying it in the way that Cubase does where you can have the plugin directly on the track but still manipulate it while recording.
Another suggest it to get yourself a better soundcard and/or preamp to give yourself more control over the input volume itself. If you’re using the built-in soundcard and then it might be worth just trying to manually control the volume using the Windows sound manager.
Hope this helps in some way, if I think of anything else I’ll let you know.

The only thing I can think of without resorting to high-end plugins is to perhaps duplicate the track three times, find the range of each voice you’re listening for, apply seperate EQ’s to each track to cut back and/or boost your frequencies then add some light compression along with a gate to bring each track up in the mix and cut any noise you don’t need. I dont know if it will help but I’ll have a think and post again if I can think of anything else.

I had the same problem using Audition a few years ago and I know there’s a fairly easy remedy but I’m sitting in work right now and can’t remember what the hell it was!! LOL I’ll try to repost later tonight and hopefully help you out so don’t give up too soon….lol

To emulate that telephone sound you need to isolate the frequencies between the ranges mentioned previously but also apply a boost around the 44 mark which is where the majority of the voice frequency lies. Phones have a very narrow bandwidth and applying some light overdrive to the signal will dirty it up a bit and make it more real sounding.

Try going to http://www.dontcrack.com and you should be able to find a half-decent free phase analyzer if the one in Audition doesn’t do the job.

I can assure you completely (as a Vegas user and a total amateur…lol) that After Effects is not the scary beast you think it is. I felt exactly the same about it but after seeing what it could do to improve my videos I had to go for it. The best advice is to watch the tutorials on here and also on videocopilot.net, watch them repeatedly and follow them as you go. Aharon Rabinowitz and Andrew Kramer both have an incredible knack for making complex ideas understandable and all of the other guys give incredibly useful advice.
Take the plunge, get AE and get started – It will quickly become an extremely powerful part of your video armoury!
A’ra best

I’m a newbie as well mate but I’ve just dealt with a similar problem using the .m2ts format from Sony. I had to get Vegas Pro 8 as my old version of Vegas Platinum froze up totally when I tried to import the uncompressed files. I’m running a pretty powerful quad core PC so there shouldn’t really have been any processing issues but now, in Vegas 8, I can import as .m2ts and then export in whatever format i.e. wmv, avi or quicktime to use in After Effects. Just watch out with exporting to QT in particular, the file sizes end up HUGE but the video remains uncompressed.
You might want to also try altering your audio latency settings in the Audio panel, I don’t know if it’ll do the trick but it’s worth a shot. There’s also a programme called ASIO 4 All which MIGHT help.
Hopefully that’s of some use to you!
All the best,

I’ve had the same problems but I found that converting to a WAV file at least allows the track to be imported into AE. I always end up adding my audio in Sony Vegas since AE seems to seriously screw up the quality of my audio, both in terms of timing and quality. Even after scrutinizing the settings when exporting (particularly to Quick Time) I still don’t trust AE with my sounds.
