Scripting and Batch Processing
Name Specifies the name of a favorite. Use this text box to help organize the Favorites
menu by doing one or more of the following:
• Create hierarchical menus by using a backslash (“\”). For example, type My Delays\Hall
Reverb in the Name text box to place the Hall Reverb favorite in the My Delays
submenu.
• Add separator bars by typing a series of dashes (“------”) into the Name text box. If you
want more than one separator bar, type a different number of dashes, or add text so that
the separator doesn't match one in the list. For example, type “------2” (the “2” after the
dashes doesn’t appear in the Favorites menu).
• Create a separator bar for a submenu by entering the submenu path first (such as “My
Effects\------”). (The text that appears with a separator bar is for appearance only.)
Note: If you create text for a submenu title, make sure not to specify any command, script, or
tool listed on the Function tab, Script tab, or Tool tab.
Press New Shortcut Key Lets you type a key or combination of keys to use as the keyboard
shortcut to a favorite. Adobe Audition accepts most single key shortcuts (the most notable
exceptions are the Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Number Lock, Caps Lock, Tab, Function, and
Enter keys), and it also accepts the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys (or any combination of the
three) as the first in a combination of keys.
Note: If the keyboard shortcut you type is already used by Adobe Audition, a dialog box
appears, giving you the option to overwrite the current shortcut.
Clear Clears text from the Press New Shortcut Key text box.
Function tab Lets you specify the following options:
• Audition Effect lets you choose any command listed in the Effects and Generate menus.
After you choose a command, the settings last used for it appear.
• Edit Settings displays the window that corresponds to the command you chose. You can
then specify the settings to be used when you choose the favorite from the Favorites
menu.
• Copy From Last applies the settings used the last time the particular command was
completedsuccessfully.
• Use Current Settings applies the settings currently specified for the particular
command. Deselect this option to edit the settings.
