Effect categories
The Effects Rack and Effects menu have several categories. Each category is a group of effects with a common theme. The best way to learn about each effect, including detailed information about the options and choices you might make, is to read the online Help.
You can access the online Help by choosing Help > Adobe Audition Help. Choosing this command will open an Internet browser with the Audition Help on-screen.
In the Audition Help, you can search for an effect, or choose User Guide > Effects Reference. From there you can choose one of the categories discussed below and obtain more detail on each effect.
You’ll be using a number of effects in the course of these exercises, particularly those effects that make more advanced results easier to achieve. Still, mastery may come only when you have invested the time in deepening your understanding of each effect, and each effect category.
In the following sections, some effects described are available in both the Effects Rack and the Effects menu, while others are available exclusively in the Effects menu.
You will find a number of audio files you can experiment with in the Lessons > Lesson 04 folder.
The following sections explore some of the most significant effects in each category.
