Greetings.
I've used Audition for a few years (I promise!) in compliment to Premiere Pro. Unlike my typical video projects, however, I now have a small job editing VO for a video game. Many of the wav files I've been given are one or two words and only a second or two in length, unlike my typical working file lasting minutes.
I'm almost embarrassed to ask what is probably very basic knowledge to most of you, but here goes:
1. How does one get any sound out of such short clips? I have to turn "loop" on before I hear anything (after 2 or three cycles). I have the sound files on an SSD, plenty of RAM, an overclocked i7 7700k chip, etc, yet cannot get a wav file of one second in duration to consistently play. I suppose I could splice in some dead space to extend the length of the clip, then cut it once through editing. But to do that dozens of times is going to be more than a little frustrating.
2. Referencing said one second clip, how does one keep the playhead from traveling beyond clip length? I can turn on loop and the head will bounce back to the beginning, but because the clip is so short I can't hear nuance as well as I want. If 'loop' is off, the playhead wants to travel for 30 seconds. I haven't found a way to reduce that 30 second default length. Also, if I 'spacebar' the clip at the end, the playhead does not travel back to the beginning. Hitting 'spacebar' again only sends the playhead continuing toward the 30 second mark.
Sorry for the confusion.
