Adobe Audition 3.0

Open existing audio files

In Edit View, you can open audio from a variety of audio file formats, including MP3, WAV, and AIFF. You can also open the audio portion of video files in AVI, MPEG, MOV, or WMV format.

  1. In Edit View, choose File > Open to open an audio file, or choose File > Open Audio From Video to open a video file.
  2. Locate and select the file you want to open. To select multiple, adjacent files, click the first file and Shift‑click the last. To select multiple, nonadjacent files, Ctrl‑click them.
    Note: If you don’t see the name of the file you want, choose All Supported Media from the Files Of Type menu. If you still don’t see the file, it might be stored in a format that Adobe Audition can’t read.
  3. (Optional) To preview the contents of a selected audio file, click Play to listen to the file once, select Loop to repeat the file until you click Stop, or select Auto Play to play files automatically when you select them.
  4. Click Open.
