Adobe Audition 2.0 installs an ASIO driver, the Audition Windows Sound driver, which is considered a wrapper (that is, an adapter between Adobe Audition, an ASIO application, and a non ASIO soundcard) for an existing DirectSound-compatible sound card installed on a computer. This ASIO driver is also the default driver selected for use when. In Adobe Audition set. Device Class: MME. Default Input: Line In (Realtek High Definition Audio) Default Output: Speakers (USB Audio) This attempt is to demonstrate we can get all audio from the mixer out to another device such as a DAW or handheld recorder. Need to turn up AUX FX dial on mixer for this to work. Microphone works in Adobe audition. AUDITION: APPLY THE PARAMETRIC EQ FILTER. Here I’ve added a female narrator to my mix. To apply an EQ filter, select the track, then choose Effects Filter and EQ Parametric Equalizer. This displays the filter. The blue line represents the range of human hearing from 20 – 20,000 Hz (bass is ALWAYS on the left).
For about a year, I lived with the pops, smacks, and clicks that emanated from my mouth while recording episodes for my podcast. I just assumed there was nothing I could do about it… until I realized that I could remove any noise above a certain frequency in Adobe Audition. What this means is that any sound above the frequency of my choosing will be eliminated.
Since my voice typically hovers below 8000 Hz, and those smacking, popping noises are usually present at higher ranges, I can essentially remove all data above 8KHz.
The “Spectral Frequency Display” above shows the most common areas of concentration of my voice. When I hear a smack or a pop during the post-production editing process (typically the result from saliva on the tongue or lips), I can either remove that noise by itself, or simply wipe out the entire frequency range.
Here’s how I do it (screens from the PC version of Adobe Audition ver 3. Your version may be slightly different):
1. When you first load the audio file into Audition, you will see the Waveform Display:
2. Click on View…Spectral Frequency Display (or Shift+F) to see a “heat map” display:
3. With your mouse, highlight the area above the range where most of your voice resides. If it’s hard to tell, just highlight 12000 and up, or 10000 and up. Start somewhere because you can always Undo anything you “do”.
4. Press Delete to remove that range. Play the file, how does it sound? If the pops are gone but the audio sounds too weird, you may need to remove a range slightly higher. Just Undo, and try again.

5. When all else fails, you can tackle each snap, crackle and pop one at a time. Simply highlight the area you want to correct, then delete the sound from that area.

That’s it! If this doesn’t work for you, it’s possible your voice or the sound you are trying to alter has similar frequencies as the pops and clicks. If this is the case, you may need to just cut that tiny piece of audio out altogether, or re-record it. Otherwise, best of luck in your editing adventures.
