Half Audio waveform Adobe Audition 2023 possible???

[Guest]

Hello everyone

I wanted to ask whether Adobe Audition 2023 has the option to change the waveform from full to half.

As an addition, I took screenshots to show how I imagine it.

Thanks Mark

No it doesn't. What would the purpose of this be?

For me it's about making better use of space.
At the same time, it is standard for almost every broadcasting software (radio) to work with this view.
The VT software Digas, which is also used in the radio, also uses it.
That's why it would be very nice if you had the opportunity.
I've included a photo from the internet so you can see it.

Greetings Mark

So no real purpose at all, then - except to hide the differences between positive and negative excursions, and provide information about only half of the signal you're dealing with.  Not good. And that screen grab looks ghastly to my eyes - like something out of a brothel! And it's cluttered.

The reality of the situation is that Adobe distinctly doesn't like following the display ideas of the competition, and when you look at things like that screengrab, one can hardly blame them. In Multitrack I can get 12 tracks displayed at once on my laptop,  and many more on the DAW. Perhaps you should get a larger monitor?

Well, in my opinion, it's a matter of taste.
Since I only use Adobe for voice tracking for testing purposes, this view would at least be better for me.
The normal view makes more sense when you're arranging 12 tracks, it's not because of the monitors. 3x27" are definitely enough 😉

Well then I'll stick with Reaper and the Ultrasound 5 plugin because that's possible.
