Save a Custom Sine Wave to a File

I am trying to generate a specific sine wave to play on other devices.  All I seem to be able to do is generate an effect or a filter. :-

I had Audition years ago and was able to generate all kinds of noise files for acoustic testing purposes.  I wish I had that today.  This is useless for me

It does and you do.

You have to click the OK button for Audition to actually create the sine wave according to the specifications that you have set and the duration of the audio required. Then Audition will revert to the Waveform edit view with your newly created sinewave showing in it. The chosen File name will show at the top left, with the * when you haven't saved it.

Not actually in front of Audition at present,  but IIRC, you should go to Effects>Generate>Tones to do this.

Thank you for the reply.  I can generate the wave I want but I do not have an option to save it as a file.  It stays within AU.

Because it is a separate window with it's own save function I never thought of going to the "Fi;e" menu.

But that isn't a Save window that you get when you ask Audition to Generate/Tones, it is a new file naming window. When you create a new file from scratch you have to name it first in order to create a temporary file. Audition generally expects you to do more editing operations on a newly created file before it is permanently saved to disc. If you look at the top left of the waveform editing  panel you will see that there is an asterisk (*) after the name indicating that it isn't yet permanently saved. This allows you to be able to go back and change things using the Undo History before making the file permanent.
