Don't let that stop you. I believe the microphone is your greatest friend. Have a look at the Blue mics, several models provide some unique sounds for your voice. I use the snowball which offers a really nice warm sound. They are all direct USB plug and play without an interface and sound great! I think the phantom amps and interfaces are great for intermediate to advanced users, but are just not critical enough for beginners like me.
Thank you Mr Mike, I really appreciate.

Thanks, good tutorial, though I take exception to any love for Apple's "Magic" Mouse, which is a truly ill conceived piece of hardware, which could never have been seriously considered for human use. The Logitech MX Master series is just as expensive, but fits the hand better and has a horizontal scroll wheel right where the thumb can use it. It also comes with Adobe pre-sets.

You are BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for this. I have had audition downloaded to my computer for a LONG time (I already had it because we use illustrator and have the plan with all the apps) and had been terrified to use it. Audacity keeps crashing on me, or I lose audio and I had finally had enough! Today was the day- but I opened it up and felt so overwhelmed. I don’t feel overwhelmed anymore, and think I have a pretty good handle on it!. Now I just need to figure out how to install my RX plugins and I’ll be good!

Great video thanks Mike. Informative, clear and easy to follow. I sometimes do long VO recordings, without any breaks, and I am terrified of losing power or having some disaster mid recording and losing it all. Can you tell me how I keep saving without stopping the recording. Also, I have tried to use 'm' to create markers whilst recording to no avail. Is it possible to use markers whilst recording? Thanks.

Im using a Blue Yeti, is there a way in Audition to increase the DB levels while recording in this case then? or do I need to rely on using normalisation and setting a DB level while editing to raise the volume? Currently using Audacity, but going to switch to Audition.

Thank you Mike, very very helpful. Audition can be a bit intimidating with everything that is going on. I've got a video with a man talking and a door closing in the background as het speaks. Is there a way to lose the slamming door (and click-clack of high heels that also happened to be recorded) without losing his voice? Thank thanks thanks. Great you're helping out like this!

Hi Els, this all depends on how it's mixed. This video shows you how to remove vocals kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqhlmsikgtSeoMY.html but you'd want to lower the side channels rather than the centre channel.
Hey Mike, awesome content! I've followed your instructions step by step. I can hear myself in my headphones and see the light on my interface going green when I speak. Yet, once I hit record, not one bit of audio is picked up. Any suggestions?
@MikeRussell

If you're monitoring from your interface you'll hear yourself whether you've set up Audition correctly to record. Go into preferences, set your audio hardware to be your interface and then into channel mapping and make sure the channels are mapped correctly

Hi Mike. Thank you for all the work you do and support you offer :-) I have a Q about markers and sped up audio. If I speed up audio and set markers at certain places for timestamps ( for raw audio snippets for video editors to find ) or even suggested points for audiogram snippets , they don't stick to the same place when I bring the audio back to the original speed. I'm editing in multi track. If you can offer advise I would greatly appreciate it!
@MikeRussell
2 жыл бұрын
Markers attach to the timeline at the given time so if you speed up or slow down the audio it will increase or decrease in length meaning the markers will move out of alignment. Instead you could mark up the points in the clips and your markers will be visible in the clips in the multitrack regardless of whether or not you've sped up the clips in multitrack.
this is an amazing intro to Audition, thanks!

@MikeRussell

If you’re working with the time selection tool and have a selection made when you press delete the selected audio is deleted. Also, you need to mix down a Multitrack session in order to have a file of the mix. You can only save a session as a .sesx file which contains no audio.
