Cue Markers

  • September 7, 2017

Hi there,

I've just started using Audition CC to edit oral histories.  Some of the audio is slow, so I've 'stretched' the audio, in multitrack, to speed it up and added cue markers. When I un-stretch it back to 100%, the cue markers move from the time I marked, when the audio was going at a faster speed.  Is there a way to overcome this i.e. when I un-stretch the audio back to 100% to have the cue markers stay where I placed them when sped up?

I hope this make's sense.

Cheers

    Unfortunately you can't speed up playback without increasing pitch. But if you don't speed up too much the speech is still intelligible. Under the Edit menu go to Interpret Sample Rate. If you enter something like 56000 instead of the normal 44100 it goes quite a bit faster whilst still being able to hear what is being said.

    Because Multitrack editing is non-destructive the Markers are normally locked to the Timeline hence they don't move when you stretch the audio. You could try unticking the 'Lock markers and metadata to the TimeLine' box in Preferences/Markers and Metadata. However to make the Markers stick with the audio in the clips it would probably be better to place the Markers in the Waveform view and do a Save As with Include Markers and Metadata box ticked. They will then be embedded in the audio and should move with it when you start messing with clips in Multitrack. However they are not easy to see when the tracks are relatively small and unfortunately you can't see the descriptions.

    Thank you for your response.  I just want add that the reason  I was in multitrack was to speed the audio up whilst listening to the audio, in order  to reduce editing time. Is there a way of doing this in waveform?
