Premiere CS6 + Audition = how to edit many clips on the timeline as one track?

Hi guys!

I'm really puzzled and maybe some of you now how to work this around:

I have my usual timeline sequence in PP CS6, and there are always just tons of audio clips after editing (at one sequence track)

I want to manipulate with this track with Adobe Audition, as a single clip - but the when I select all of them (because I need to work with all of them) and select "edit clips in Audition" it turns to nightmare - Audition open every single clip as separate track...

So how do you guys work with audio?

For example, I want to do Noise Reduction in Audition (or something like that) but there is NO WAY I can make it - because even at pre-editing stage I already have many audio files of my project and I don't want to edit them separately prior to editing...

Yes, I can use Premiere effects, but they are limited compared to those in Audition.

Nesting audio clips doesn't help, because "edit clips in Audition" turns grey then (not available).
 
I still don't understand, how to use Noise Reduction (noise print and proccess) when you send to Audition whole sequence from PP CS6 (as instructed in the article from the link above)

It works only if I select "View" - "Weveform Editor" and applies only to that one clip.

Can some of you guys share your Noise Reduction workflow? Do you use Audition for that?
 
Hi Tim,

If you are completely done with the editing and simply want to run a filter on the master audio, such as a compressor for instance, you could simply Export the entire timeline as a .wav file and then process that in Audition. Bring the resulting clip into Premiere sequence on a new audio track and mute all the original tracks so you only hear the final processed track, then Export sequence for delivery. I've done this for years.

Thanx SHARBOR!

Isn't that bothers you that it is "destructive" exporting, so the volume decreases after each export (or maybe not just volume?) - and the quality of the audio will decreases (at least theoretically)

Can someone clear this moment out?
 
Audio exporting to a compression format like mp3 wil be destructive and you get a warning but generally wav and aiff would be considered non destructive.
ie non compressed.

Dont worry about it or do a test.
 
Thank you Shooter!

I think .wav and .aiff exporting is still destructive, since if you compare original (pre-premiere) .wav and exported one (if no faders and levels are touched) - you will hear volume drop on the exported one.

So to me it seems like you will gain some noise on every export, since you have to make exported .wav louder and that means get the noise louder to, which originally was not even there.

Or do I get something wrong?

Click to expand...
Go to Edit > Preferences > Multitrack and set ""Default Panning Mode:" to "Left/Right Cut (Logarithmic)"

The default is -3dB and thus the volume decreases for each export when you export from the multitrack. It seems that they have changed the default in CC. (?)
 
Thank you Averdahl!

So .wav and .aiff export aren't really destructive in Premiere CS6?

P.S.: What is "CC"? :)
 
What you do to a file (eg fx etc) may affect volumes / levels but that does not mean its a destructive process.

FYI - "destructive" means that you alter the original.
Audition and NLE (video editors) are Non Destructive because they do not alter the source.

Do not save as same file-name.

There is also "generational loss". That is constant dubbing and redubbing of a file. THat is different again but you can probably do a hundred dubs before one wpould hear that with uncompressed digital audio files. Analogue was where this occurred and became noticeable aftera few dubs.
 
Can you clearify something please?

Do you reffer to Audition or Premiere?

Because Premiere doesn't have whose paths...

Do you know how to disable this volume drop in Premiere CS6?
