Listening to Your Audio in the Waveform Editor

In Audition, you’ll use the waveform editor to listen to your WAV files. Later, you'll use the waveform editor to create sound bites and edit the content of your WAV files.

1. In the Files panel (upper-left), double-click a WAV file. The WAV file will open in the waveform editor.

2. Click the Play button (bottom of screen) or press the spacebar (on keyboard) to play your WAV file.

3. If necessary, click in the Timeline to reposition the playhead.

4. Click the Stop button or press the spacebar to stop playing the WAV file. Note: Do not use the Pause button. Only use Play and Stop. (Using the Pause button causes problems when adding range markers to a WAV file.)
