TRAINING DESCRIPTION

The images are great, the acting is amazing, and the audio is a disaster! Sigh… Now what?

In this video training session, you’ll learn how to use the audio repair tools in Adobe Audition CS6 to fix problem audio. Now, truthfully, the best option is to make a clean recording in the first place. But, when that fails, it’s Audition to the rescue.

Whether you are looking to raise low levels, remove hum, reduce noise, remove some audio weirdness, remove pops and clicks, add some warmth, remove sibilance–the audio challenges in any video project can be pretty daunting. But Audition has tools that can reduce the stress in your audio life by reducing the problems in your audio files.

Whether you are using Premiere, Final Cut, Avid, or iMovie, if you are looking for ways to make your audio sound better, you need to watch this session.

In this video tutorial, you will learn:

• How to improve low audio levels for a clip or group of clips
• How to remove pops, clicks, and exploded “P’s”
• How to repair audio in the Multitrack Timeline
• How to repair audio using the Waveform Editor
• How to remove specific frequencies using the Spectrum Display
• And much, much more.
