ADOBE AUDITION 1.5
User Guide
Temporary Folders Specifies the folders in which you want Adobe Audition to store
temporary files. Adobe Audition creates temporary files for use when performing edits on
your audio. All temporary files begin with CEP and have the .tmp extension. The rest of
the filename is chosen at random when the file is created. If there are no copies of Adobe
Audition running, none of these files should be present, since Adobe Audition normally
deletes temporary files when it exits. However, these files can be left behind in extreme
circumstances if Adobe Audition crashes, or if Windows unexpectedly quits while Adobe
Audition is active. As long as Adobe Audition isn’t running, you can safely delete these
files. You can also use the Manage Temporary Folder Reserve Space to delete temporary
files you aren’t using while Adobe Audition is running. (See “Managing temporary files”
on page 57.)
Important: Yo u need to have enough space available in these folders to accommodate the total
size of all the audio files you wish to edit simultaneously.
Use the reserve free fields to specify an amount to leave available for headroom purposes
for both the primary and secondary temporary folders.
• Te mp Folder: Specifies Adobe Audition’s main temporary folder. Ideally it should be on
your fastest hard drive.
• Secondary Temp: Specifies Adobe Audition’s secondary temporary folder. For best
results, this should be on a different physical hard drive than the primary temp folder.
This is especially true when recording more than one track at a time in Multitrack View,
because odd track recordings go to one temp folder while the even tracks are recorded
to the other temp folder, dividing the workload.
Note: Providing you have enough free space on the drive that holds the primary temporary
folder, Adobe Audition will work just fine if no Secondary Temp folder is specified.
Undo Specifies options for Adobe Audition’s Undo feature, which lets you revert back to
your last edit with a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Z), menu command, or toolbar button.
• Enable Undo: Activates the Undo function. Because Undo requires extra disk space for
its temporary files and time to save them before processing, you may sometimes want
to turn this feature off.
• Levels (minimum): Specifies the fewest number of Undo levels.
• Purge Undo: Deletes all of Adobe Audition’s Undo files. This frees up disk space, but
ends your ability to revert to previous edits.
