Process of removing plosives

I am doing a final run through of my podcast. But I need to go through it and remove plosives. So I open a project(session?) in Audition, I import my audio file, and I begin removing the plosives with the effect to remove mic vibration. So I begin removing them and then I have to stop. So I save the project(session?) and close it. When I have time again I want to open the project and continue removing plosives from exactly where I left off. Then save and close. Then continue by opening the project and continuing where I left off, until I have finished the entire podcast. 

 

But this is not how Audition works at all and I can't figure out the workflow to accomplish the above scenario. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

If you are trying to do this in Multitrack view, then there will be additional steps you have to take. Multitrack view (non-destructive) doesn't inherently alter anything about a file that's displayed in it at all - this can only happen in (destructive) Waveform view. If you close a session, but don't save the original file you were working on, then everything you did will be lost - because it's not a part of the session as such, but something you need to do to the contents of the file the audio originally came from. You should get a warning about this when you close the session though - unless you've dismissed all the warnings...

 

Options you have: remove the plosives in the orignal file without even opening it in Multitrack view, and save it when you've finished - or even part way through if you like, and then return to it later. When your session is re-opened, the changes you made to the file will still be there - mix down the result, job done. All you have to do then is convert it to your distribution format.

 

Option two: Leave everything as it is in Multitrack, mix the final result down and re-open it in Waveform view. Then as before, removes the plosives from the mixdown file and save the file - job done.

 

By and large, the answer is to leave the session itself alone - just do one of these options.
