Question

How to combine 2 or more Audition sessions/projects

Hello again!

Once again I did try to find an answer before posting and couldn't find an one, so hoping to rely once again on the fabulous brains that reside here!

Okay...I have a 30 minute drama podcast. I would like to create a separate Audition multitrack session/project for each scene so I can work it to death without getting all tangled up in a 30 minute timeline.

Once I get all 8 scenes edited, each in their own Audition multitrack session, I would then need to combine them along with the opening and closing sesx into one master session.

How do I stitch together multiple sesx files into one uber session?

Thank you a huge ton in advance!!!!!

I understand that the most comfortable thing to do for most mixers might be treat each session as a single entity and bounce them all to a master session just as ryclark suggested originally. I've been doing this for years. That said, when I started using Premiere recently, I was thrilled to find that I could make a sequence of sequences and have all edits and minor adjustments in the sub-sequences be reflected in the master sequence without having to re-export. This, I feel, beggs the question: why can't Audition do this too? Or am I missing something?

I have the same question but I didn't see the answer... I have Audition on Mac and I want to open up several different windows to edit a radio play into one master file, cutting and pasting between windows... anyone know how or if you can?

No, there's only one Multitrack window available at any given time - you can't run two Audition sessions using the same version at the same time either.

If you're using a PC, it's not actually a problem creating a combined project in a single window, even if you have several sources to combine. The reason that you didn't see an answer is probably because SuiteSpot reckons that the way to do it is already covered above; if you have more than one session, you append them together and manipulate them from there. Your difficulty with this though is that you're using a Mac and sesx2sesx is Windows-based, and I don't think there's much chance of this altering, somehow. So your only real option is to assemble it from scratch - which is what I'd do anyway. Fortunately the one thing you can do that will help a lot is that you can have more than one session loaded and open at the same time - you can copy and paste between them.

I received two .OMF files for a feature film and want to combine them into a single Audition project. The main reason is that I'd like to place tracks for the two "halves" onto the same audio mix channels so any inserted effects will be consistent. I really don't want to edit this in two sections, as there is music and sound design that spans where one section stops and the second one begins.

I'm probably missing something but I don't see a question here?

Assuming you're using Windows, have a look at http://www.aatranslator.com.au/sesx2sesx.html

It is designed to do exactly what you want, though I think you will need to add one session at a time and gradually build up to your final version.

I was going to say that LOL

Although I would be more tempted to mix down each section on it's own and then join them all the mixed audio together in a separate master mixdown session.
