Question

How to Create a Favorite without applying to the same selection or entire file?

I'm trying to create favorites for effect I commonly use and am encountering an issue

 

1) I click "Start Recording Favorite"

2) I apply the effect ("Mouth De-Click" for example)

3) I click "Stop Recording Favorite"

4) I name and save the favorite.

 

Is there a way to create a new favorite that I can apply to different sections of audio? It seems that I'm only able to create a favorite to apply to an entire selection, or one specific section of an audio file.

 

For example: I want to be able to create a favorite, and then be able to apply it to different sections of an interview as I edit. Right now it only applies it to the entire file. When I try to create a favorite by appliying it to a section of the file, the favorite will only apply it to that section, even when a different section is selected.  

 

Any help?

    For reference: The preset favorite "Fade in" can be applied to any highlighted section of a file. I want to be able to do that with the favorites I create

    When you've made your favorite, you have to edit some of its parameters. If you highlight it on the Favorites panel (not the pull-down file menu but the one you can have a tab for) and expand it, you'll see this:

    Chances are that yours won't say Relative, which is what I think they need to be. If you create a favorite using just a selection of audio, then that's what it thinks you mean every time - exactly the same time and time selection - which is spectacularly wrong for most people, and that's what the 'Absolute' settings are about. The favorites system is remarkably limited in what it can do now - nowhere near as powerful as Audition 3's one was, and even that had some significant limitations...
