Audio Description with Control Track Using Adobe Audition

Hi everyone,

 

I have created an audio description file (WAV) for a video, and this WAV file will be used for TV Broadcasting in the UK, so it must have a control track. I found out that there is Emotions Systems and Starfish Technologies are two software that can do such audio engineering, so my question is: does Adobe Audition have this feature (i.e. add control track)? These are the TV Broadcaster's guidelines:

 

The audio channel layout on The Library is as follows:

2 Streams - 2 channels per track, or 4 mono channels.

Channel 1 - Stereo L

Channel 2 - Stereo R

Channel 3 - Audio Description/Mute

Channel 4 - Control Track/Mute

 

If Adobe Audion can't do this, is there any other Adobe software that can do that?

 

Thanks in advance.

    I don't know absolutely about any other Adobe software (although I'm pretty sure none of it does), but Audition doesn't support this at all. It's pretty niché, all things considered. Audition can certainly create a four-channel file, but it doesn't have any means of generating any of the code for the muting and control track, I'm afraid.

    It would be very usefull that Audition can do it, because accessibilty every day is more important.
