Exporting files multiple times from the same source

Hi! I'm a beginner with Audition and I have a doubt. I have imported a 55 minute wav files of a classical music recording. I want to export one by one each track cutting all the useless parts and doing some small changes. After I have exported a track, shall I import the wav file again to continue working on the other tracks? I'm afraid that exporting many times can cause a decrease in quality.

As long you are saving files in Audition's native format .wav then there shouldn't be any degradation in the audio quality however many times you reopen the audio file. Only if you export to compressed format's like .mp3 will opening and re-exporting cause loss of quality.

I don't want to re-work on the exported files. My concern was for the imported file on Audition. I have to export about six tracks from it and my question is: can I export multiple files from the original wav without re-importing it again on Audition for each track?

You can do the whole exercise in one go using markers - and more specifically, marker regions. Make the changes you want, and then divide your file into the separate sections. You do this by highlighting each section separately, and then hit F8 to get it into the markers list. If you just select only what you want, you can leave out the extraneous bits, so they're not a problem any more. In the marker list, you can highlight the name field (where it presently says 'Marker 01' etc - see below) and give it a meaningful title.

When you've finished organising this, you will have a list of separate marker ranges, one for each section. Highlight all of the markers and hit the 'export audio of selected range markers to separate files' icon:

And then you'll get a window opening up asking you where to save the files to, and a few other things that are pretty much common sense to sort out:

Fill in the appropriate details, hit 'Export' and the whole job's done for you, using the marker names as file names. Easy and quick!
