This weeks tutorial was Brian teaching us examples of how to use Adobe Audition, we talked about increasing gain which can cause distortion and it’s one of the principle things with digital recorders were trying to avoid. Slightly less gain is always better than more because you can amplify but you can not take away distorted audio.

An equalizer is very important as frequency is one of the key qualities of sound. The equalizer works by suppressing or taking out frequency’s as well as enhancing some frequency to give more vocal brightness. It also helps get rid of lower signals that weren’t originally meant to be there (lower gain) for example background noises of a coffee machine or people talking.

Below is a sample image of what Adobe Audition looks like once it’s open and you are working on a project.
