Question

Can you create ‘Gated Reverb’ effect in Audition?

Specifics: My friend wants a reel made for his streaming channel and I wanted to edit what clips I've mustered to some really good 80s music (in a fun montage style). There is a moment in the footage I have where he claps several times and my plan is to speed ramp the clapping to sync the clip to the music but I want to replace the audio from the clip and with clapping sound effects I've recorded myself (so it fits the song better and has no background noise)

 

However I want to apply 'gated reverb' to the clapping sounds I've recorded but I don't know how to do it personally and I was wondering if there are any steps-by steps anyone might be able to provide  to help create this effect in Audition. And if not Audition maybe other software in the creative cloud? I have the full subscription so I can use anything on it. Thanks for your help

It may well be possible to set this up as a gated effect using a sidechain link in Audition, but there's an easier way using a free plugin - FreeverbToo - just make sure you download the 64-bit version (x64). FreeverbToo has specific settings for generating this effect.

Ok, I'll have a look and give it a try. Thanks. Do you know if any guides of how to navigate the software per say? I have barely used audition at all but I do learn pretty fast in general so I'm all ears

If you look under Audition's Help menu, you'll find plenty of links to tutorial material.
