Adobe Audition 1.5 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide
Before you can bring all of Audition's features to bear on your audio, you need to bring your audio clips into the program. And you need to configure Audition to work with the audio devices that are part of your computer system.
In this chapter, I'll detail the procedures for configuring Audition to work with your sound cards to record and play audio. I'll also show you how you can bring audio from disparate sources into Audition's Edit and Multitrack views for editing, saving, and composing.
Setting Device Order
Before you get rolling with Audition, you need to make sure you've configured it to use the proper devices in your system for recording and playing audio. This is particularly important if your system contains more than one sound card, for example, or MIDI devices.
The first thing you need to do when configuring Audition to play and record audio files is to select and sequence the audio devices on your computer that you want Audition to use. You use the Device Order window, accessed through the Options menu.
The Device Order window contains four tabs. Start by setting the Playback Devices tab and Recording Devices tab. You may want to use the same devices for both recording and playback, or you may have separate devices for each function.
