I have created a fade by sliding one piece of audio into the next. It sounds lovely except for the fact that I now have a gap between my next 2 edits. There must be a shortcut that can allow me to slide one piece of audio into another and all the remaining edits shuffle along too, is there not? I have looked on all the usual places but couldn't really find the proper term so am struggling to find the solution.
There's more than one way you can do this, but probably the easiest is to put the cursor somewhere in the gap and select Edit>Select>Clips to end of session. That will highlight everything forward of the cursor, and you can pick them up and drag them, as one, back to where you want them. On individual tracks, there's also the option, under Ripple Delete, to get rid of gaps in a track. If you position the cursor in the gap and select Ripple Delete>Gap in selected track and it will close it up by shifting everything after the gap to the start of it.
Things to note: there are quicker approaches available if you use these options frequently. Firstly you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them, and secondly, if you have the cursor in the gap, then right-clicking will take you directly to the Ripple Delete and Select menus. Whatever you do in Audition, it's always worth checking what's available when you right-click; there are more options than you might think, although it all depends where the cursor is at the time.
