Faster process for repetitive select/heal operations

I'd like to make my process for healing mouth clicks more efficient. Current process: zoom in, select, heal, zoom out, move playhead back 1 sec for review. My thinking is to place the playhead at the click, then employ a favorite that creates a selection of a predetermined duration, heals, and rewinds the playhead. I can't find a recordable operation to make a selection at the playhead. Any suggestions, or alternate ideas?

    One other thing I've tried when I've got VO with a lot of mouth noises, is use the click/pop effect. Sometimes I wonder if it helps, but other times it seems to work. Experiment, your results may differ! 🙂

    Have you tried using the healing brush? I think it would be much quicker thanthe route you're taking right now. Just swipr over the mouth click with the healing paintbrush.

    Hey Mike - I have, in the past, but since the brush requires constant cursor control on two axes simultaneously, I found the marquee or time selection tools to be more efficient for me. I'll give it another try some time, and see if I can get good results without zooming in... though I do like the precision on these 0.02-sec, mid-word clicks.

      Auto Heal does almost that, but I think you'll have immense difficulty getting the Favorites system to move the cursor back a second... (nobody's succeeded in doing that, ever.) I realise that it sounds strange, but this would be a lot easier to realise using the 'old' system, that got ditched unceremoniously when Audition 3 was superceded. No amount of pleading has ever produced any updates to the present system, which in many ways sucks big-time. It can't even open a file...

      Thanks, Steve!

      Any thoughts on creating a cursor-based selection in a favorite? EG: running the favorite selects the next 0.03 secs after the cursor - then heals.

      OR:

      Is there ANY way to apply an effect to a specific and limited section of  the timeline, without first manually selecting? I don't think this is possible - but it would be a real efficiency for repetitive edits on predictable durations (like clicks).

      It's only possible with effects that have their own time selection feature. So for instance, if you want to add a certain amount of silence at any given point you can do this - but the amount of silence is set  by the effect, not the Favorite.
