Auto ducking in Adobe Audition

[Conrad Obregon]

Adobe Audition now includes an auto ducking facility that allows for automatic sound reduction in an audio track when another audio track has sound. Is there any way to integrate that feature with sound tracks in Premiere Pro for a round trip, even if it requires some non-automated effort. (Strangely enough this feature has existed in Premiere Elements for several versions now.)

Premiere and Audition do support a round trip workflow.

Starting from “Picture Lock” is typical. Your edit should be complete for sound, and complete for all video that syncs with sound. Really, you should be done but for titles or color grading.

From Premiere, with the desired sequence highlighted, select Edit | Edit in Audition | Entire Sequence.

Typically, you’d include video via Dynamic Linking.

Timeline audio will be re-rendered and a multi-track project will open in Audition.

Mix, duck, whatever. Audition really is a much better audio editing and mixing environment than Premiere.

Then, you can either export a mixed stereo track to open in Premiere (classic workflow), or, select Multitrack | Export to Premiere, making selections for stems or a mixed track.

Thanks. Just what I wanted.
