Multitrack Time Offset on Track Import

Question

Greetings,I know that Audition's multitrack feature has a nice option to import multiple tracks either on a single track in the editor, or if you hold the alt key when you drop in the imported tracks, they all go to their own track.Importing Multiple TracksImporting Multiple Tracks while holding the Alt Key (or Option, for mac users) What I am wondering if there is a way to import tracks to the multitrack editor such that each import is on its own track and adjusted in the timeline to the end time of the track directly above it? Like this:For context, I'm editing recordings consisting of multiple takes. I've already spliced them up and ran a batch process on filters for them and the easiest method for me to listen to the takes when choosing the best one is to stack them like this. However it gets time consuming to adjust their location in the timeline.If there isn't a way to do this, would Adobe consider implementing a feature like this given that the lengths of the tracks are already handled by the program?Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

I'm afraid that virtually everything that's ever been asked for like this has never been implemented. Let me explain how the process works: Your idea is noted (at least it might be if it was in the Ideas section, but don't worry about that) and then put in a list of ideas that is presented to the big ticket users (think millions of seats). If they like it, it will get done, because that's what pays the salary bill, not us individual users. Trouble is that I'm not convinced that the people who get interviewed are actually the end users... It really doesn't matter how brilliant an idea is - and there have been a lot of those - it all falls at that hurdle. Your best hope is to get a third-party user to write an extension, if you can find one.

The only thing I can suggest which might make things a bit easier for you would be to put all your files on a single track, assign a key to 'Lock in time' and lock each one in place on the track. It's now easy to drag them vertically to individual tracks, and because they're locked in time, this will keep the time separation. Unfortunately you can't do this to all the tracks in one go, because they all get locked together!

And these are the sort of lengths that we are reduced to when simple improvements don't get made...
