To bounce you have to right click and you will get a drop down window with differnt options … sequence of mixdowns goes as follows …
With track one highlighted move mouse to track two right click mixdown to track > selected audio tracks
Repeat on track three with track one still highlighted
MONO MIX DOWN
After you have deleted just the bottom track by taking it into the edit side moving your mouse and highlighting the bottom track then go to effects > amplfy > amplfy > -97db … Save this setting as 0db in your presets … Back in the session side highlight track two move the mouse to track one right click and go to mix down > selected audio mono and then remove track two
Repeat this for track 3 only delet the top track and bounce it to track two then -35 pan on track one and +35 on track two … If you have any questions write back and I will try and answer them …

Pre Pro and Audition are very compatible … My workflow is as
follows1. Capture and edit sequence, (Which you have done)
2. Export just the audio
3. This really is an important step and sounds involved but
really isn’t … I import the audio track into the
session side, then I clean up what I need to on the
edit side, bring it back, copy, or bounce it by
highlighting it and move my cursor to the next track down and
repeat to track 3 then I remove the original mixdown so
I have it if I need it at some other time4. Now I take track 2 into the edit side and delete the
bottom or right wave leaving just the left bring it back
to the session side, highlight and mix it down to track
1 as a mono wave file … I then repeat this for the
copy in track 3 only you delete the left track and
mix it down to track 2 as a mono file …5. Now pan the left -35 and the right 35, mixdown and
hardlimit to -1db, save and import it back into Pre Pro
and replace to old audio with this file, it sounds involved like
I said but really isn’t and you will be lovin how good it
sounds …I would use 1.5 over 2.0, 2.0 has issues ……… WILLIE

Ralph,
There are a couple of places you need to check … Go to OPTIONS > DEVICE ORDER and see what your defaults are for your playback … Do you have multiple sound cards or just one? Did you try the playback in the session side or the edit side? If you were on the session side and using multiple sound cards make sure your tracks are set properly, you can do this by clicking the box marked out at the side of the track … I hope this helps ……… WILLIE

What kind of music are you recording? What experience do you have with micing techniques? How many track recorder are you using and what kind of access do you have to the stage? I would use Audition and record to a laptop if you have access to one also global editing is the last thing I would do … In most cases there are no “shortcuts” when editing for quality audio, one must spend the time to do it right … You want to break things down to tracks for a CD anyway so I would edit each tune by itself ………………..

1. Initial syncing to digital video
There are a lot of better portable units out there than ADAT,
but the mere mention of ADAT did bring a smile to my face of
fond memories, thanks … Do you have a laptop if so you can go
with a firewire unit and record directly to the laptop using
Audition … I have a friend who uses this unit and swears by
it …https://www.americanmusical.com/item–i-PRS-FIREPOD-PAK.html
Personally because I do a fishing program and space is very
limited I just use wireless and plug them directly into the
camcorders … I have an Panasonic AG-DVC 30 with the external
mic pre and it’s a great setup for my application … If I need
more than 2 mic’s I plug them into my B cam and all of a sudden
my 4000 pounds went down to a fraction of that and I get great
audio as well, just need to tweak a bit in Audition …2. Bringing of audio into a home editing system
The firepod can work for this application also but if you use a
laptop on location you don’t have the transfer loss that you
talked of earlier …3. Various softwares I could use to work with video
Pre Pro and Audition are very compatible … My workflow is as
follows
1. Capture and edit sequence
2. Export audio, (you are one of the first that has posted
that does does this step, Kudos to you)
3. This really is an important step and sounds involved but
really isn’t … I import the audio track into the
session side … then I clean up what I need to on the

4. Now I take track 2 into the edit side and delete to
bottom or right wave leaving just the left bring it back
to the session side, highlight and mix it down to track

copy in track 3 only you delete the left left track and
mix it down to track 2 as a mono file …
5. Now pan the left -35 and the right 35, mixdown and
hardlimit to -1db, save and import it back into Pre Pro
and replace to old audio
with this file, it sounds involved like I said but really
isn’t and you will be lovin how good it sounds …4. What about working with 5.1
Audition has a multi-channel encoder in the program … On
the session side go to VIEW > MULTI-CHANNEL ENCODER …5. Lastly, any other suggestions… like, should I purchase a
good set of monitors?Absolutely!!!!! Today there are a ton of powered monitors
out there I use the Events and I love them, but they come
in all kinds of price ranges to fit your pocketbook …https://www.americanmusical.com/item–i-EVE-TR8.html
Hope this helps, Oh by the way if you don’t have a DUAL PROCESSOR in your computer don’t go with 2.0, Audition 2.0 kind of sucks also 1.5 is the bomb … E-mail me at loganonestudio@aol.com I have some other suggestions that may help ………… WILLIE

Just highlight the parts you want to bring the gain up on and you will be good to go ………… WILLIE
-
OK, you can’t use normalize after you normalize to the lowest volume, you would need to use the Amplify to bring the gain up … If you highlight a low section you can work on just that section … When I get home tonight I will look at your file and give you some more direction if you haven’t got it by then ……….

The way you did it kind of compounds the problem … Hard limit default is a 6db boost so if you didn’t change that to zero you added 6db acrossed the board, this is why I suggested to make things match the lowest level using the normalizing filter … Try to go backwards and normalize to the lowest levels and then do another hard limit, (one of my favorite fliters by the way) … Becareful with your hard limit since you can really blow the dynamic’s all to heck but a second hard limit should be ok to do ………… WILLIE
-
Try the “NORMALIZE” filter … Go to EFFECTS > AMPLITUDE > NORMALIZE … This filter will cut the peaks … I would set it to match your LOWEST volume … Once you have everything normalized you can then readjust the gain on the clip to where you would like … I think this may cure a lot of your problem but you may have to highlight and tweak sections … Personally speaking I don’t feel a “one click fix” is really the best way to go in most cases sometimes you just have to but the time in to make it right … I do hope the normalize does the job for you ….

I still say it’s 2.0 … I would try to do a complete unistall and then reinstall … Did you have any problems with 1.5? I have seen so many starnge things happen with 2.0 … Some people swear by it and others have nothing but problems … I have never seen your problem on the edit side … I never store my wave files on the same drive as the program … I also never use my C drive as a temp drive for Audition … Adobe programs for some reason don’t like the scratch disk and the program to be on the same drive … I wish I had a better answer for you but I am at a loss here, sorry …
