Adobe AuditionTry it →Watch full video →Mike RussellMike Russell·

Demo summary

The video shows how to record a 'Favorite' action (normalizing audio) and then apply it to a batch of multiple files to convert and rename them simultaneously.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to Window and select Batch Process to open the panel
  2. Drag and drop multiple files of different types into the Batch window
  3. Go to Favorites and select Start Recording Favorite
  4. Apply your desired effects, such as Amplitude and Compression > Normalize
  5. Go to Favorites and select Stop Recording Favorite to name and save the action
  6. In the Batch Process window, select your newly created Favorite from the dropdown
  7. Configure Export Settings to set a file prefix, destination directory, and format
  8. Click Run to process all files simultaneously

Options

  • Use default favorites like VoiceOver compressor or pitch raise
  • Add a prefix or postfix to file names
  • Convert files to specific formats like MP3 with custom bitrates
  • Process different file types (MP4, WAV, etc.) in the same batch

Watch out for

  • The Batch Process window is usually hidden by default and must be manually enabled via the Window menu
  • Exporting to MP3 will trigger a warning about using a lossy format

Tips

  • Normalize audio to -1 dB for a consistent volume across all files
  • Record a custom Favorite if you need to perform very specific actions not covered by default presets
  • Undo changes on your test file before running the batch to ensure a clean process

Highlights

“That was done in seconds using batch processing in Adobe Audition. It's a powerful tool that can handle well, really, as many files as you can throw at it.”
