Viewing effects previously applied in Waveform editor

Question

Hi Everyone,

Ive just crossed over from PremPro a week ago to start doing vocal editing here instead. Great so far. But quick quesiton if you have a spare moment (its probably a super simple answer that has just eluded me).

I made effects updates to 25 audio files during the week, and plugged in tonight to finish off the rest. I had been experimenting until I found a sound I liked, which I was able to remember long enough to apply to all of the files individually in Waveform, before I mixed them in Multitrack.

Tonight I went to finish the new core edits in Waveform onthe rest of the files, but I cant find the hand written list of effect settings I used on the other files.

Is there any way of working out from the session files which effects I had used in Waveform? Meta data?

The none destructive effects I applied in the multitrack are still clearly visible. I just need to find a list of the effects I applied in Waveform.

Be gentle 🙂

If you add effects in Multitrack, then the final state you leave the session in is stored in the session file. Unfortunately this does not apply in the slightest to any changes you make - and save - in Waveform view. The history is lost at the point of saving and closing the file. In Waveform view, undos up to the number you specify are stored as iterations of your file in the temp file - which can get pretty large if you set a high number, and it's a long file. But when you close Audition, that extended temp file is destroyed. It has to be, otherwise you'd run out of room on your hard disk in no time.

Your only hope is to keep searching for that handwritten list, I'm afraid.
