How to fill in gap from start to clip

samj14001531  wrote How do I fill the gap between 00:00 and 07:00 for the overlay takes? I would like to export every track as separate files in order to use them in my DAW. But then all tracks should start at 00:00 I found a you can insert silence. This is a defined time. I would like to insert silence between 00:00 and start overlay clip.

Is this 'clip' you refer to a file on its own anyway? Do you just want 7 seconds of silence at the start of it? If so, open it in waveform view and with the cursor at the start of it, insert 7 seconds of silence (effects menu) and save it.

That said, it seems that you haven't exactly got hold of the concept of how Audition's multi-track editor works. If you have retakes recorded as drop-ins from your original session, these should be timestamped correctly anyway in the OMF, and if they are inserted with that time-stamp, they should play at the correct point in the session. The concept of 'empty time' doesn't actually mean anything in terms of a session. All session time is taken from the start of the session, and clips are placed where you want them on the timeline. Any silence before the placement of a clip on the timeline is session silence anyway, and has nothing to do with the clip, which you can trim and move; nothing about that is fixed at all. This is how non-linear editing works!
