This is a short guide on how to do mastering using Cool Edit Pro (now called Adobe Audition). Particularly, this is written based on older Adobe Audition 1.5. But I do believe the techniques outlined here can also be applied to later Adobe Audition versions such as Adobe Audition 3.

Adobe Audition is the perfect software for mixing and mastering audio content for films, television, music and podcasts. With a little editing, you can turn up the volume and master the perfect sound. Since Audition looks and feels like the other apps in the Creative Suite, it's that much more approachable if you already use Photoshop, After Effects, etc. While that obviously doesn't substitute for training, users of other Adobe apps should feel right at home. Even if I didn't have the Creative Suite, I would still buy Audition.

Mastering is the last stage of the audio production process, next to mixing. So make sure that before you start mastering, your audio wave must pass the following properties:

I'm on a beefy Mac 8 core 2009, El Captain 10.11.6 trying a new Premiere CS6 and Audition CS6 workflow. Yesterday I did pay for updating the Waves Center plug-in - as it was the cheaper option and I really wanted to test the Waves plug ins in Audition. It runs fine in Apple AU - FCPX - but in Adobe, either Premiere and Audition I had no luck! Connecting to audio hardware in Audition; Customizing and saving application settings; Digital audio fundamentals. Understanding sound; Digitizing audio; Importing, recording, and playing. Multichannel audio workflow; Create, open, or import files in Adobe Audition; Importing with the Files panel; Extracting audio from CDs; Supported import formats.

1.) It is a mix down wave. This is single waveform, which is summation or the final result of the mixing process. It should only be one waveform but containing all musical instruments mix (vocals, drums, guitars, etc). See examples below:

Sample photo of the audio mixdown after mixing process

2.) No EQ and Compression is still applied. It should be completely fresh, the single waveform is still NOT being adjusted with any mastering EQ and compression settings.

3.) The maximum peak of the audio wave (Peak amplitude) should not exceed -3dB. An allowance is needed for EQ and Compression adjustments in mastering. If the wave is already peaking at the loudest level (0dB), then there is no room for EQ and Compression adjustments.

It is a good practice in mixing that the completed mix down should have some headroom for EQ/mastering adjustments. You can measure the peak amplitude by going to Edit View –> Analyze –> Statistics.

For details, read this tutorial on the specifications of your audio mix required before mastering.

Step1. Trimming of start and ending. I give a 0.3 second allowance before the start of the audio wave and 0.6 second allowance at the end of the wave. If the wave exceeds 0.3 second from the moment it started playing, cut it. Below is the sample screenshot of the trimmed wave at the start (it was exceeding 0.3 seconds before and I cut it to 0.3 seconds standard).

Step2. EQ stage – The objective of EQ stage is to shape the final sound of the recording, apply presence, boost hi frequencies and lows as well as removing muddiness.

Use the Adobe Audition Parametric Equalizer to adjust settings. You can as well apply EQ plugins like those from Wave. Refer to this following good tutorial on mastering EQ using Audition:

EQ Settings for Mastering
How to use a parametric equalizer

Step3. Compression stage – The overall objective of the compression stage is to make the audio wave as loud as possible without creating distortion. In this case, I am using the L2 Waves plug-in for Adobe Audition 1.5:

Go to Effects –> DirectX –> Waves –> L2 and adjust the following:

Under factory preset change to: Hi Res CD Master then adjusts the following:

Threshold: -7.5
Out of Ceiling: 0.2

Click OK, this will maximize the volume of the recording to around -13dB (average RMS power) which is considered OK for master recordings. You can check the loudness in terms of average RMS power by Analyze –> Statistics.

Fine tune the mastering and use your ear. You can use this technique to remember your settings in the mastering FX chain.

Bear in mind that mastering in Adobe Audition is a destructive audio editing process, so make sure you have backup the original mix before you proceed.

Support policy

Effects plug-in support is limited to plug-ins that are included with the Adobe Audition CC installation and the VST and Audio Units technologies as they are implemented within the application. Adobe technical support does not support problems due to the use of third-party plug-ins. If a third-party plug-in directly causes problems, please contact the plug-in manufacturer for support.

VST plug-in handling

Adobe Audition supports third-party 64-bit audio plug-ins in VST 2.4, VST 3.0 formats for macOS and Windows, and Audio Units for macOS. Note: VSTi and virtual instrument synthesis plug-ins are not supported at this time. To locate plug-ins or manage their visibility in the application, use the Audition Audio Plug-In Manager. From the Audition menu bar, select Effects > Audio Plug-In Manager. Here, you can add new folders if you’ve installed VST plugins to custom locations, Scan for new plug-ins, or manage which audio plug-ins are available inside the application.

VST 2.4 plug-ins typically get installed to
Windows: C:Program FilesSteinbergvstplugins
macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/

VST 3.0 plug-ins are strictly installed to

Windows: C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3
macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/

Audio Units plug-ins are strictly installed to the path below, and are registered with the OS:
macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

You should only need to add folders if you have installed VST 2.4 plug-ins to a custom location. Otherwise, Audition would populate the folders list with the default locations.

Click the Scan for Plug-Ins button to search for new plug-ins on the system. Audition will display the name, type, status, and path of each discovered or installed plug-in. Use the checkbox column to enable or disable plug-ins.

Note: Audition will scan and attempt to open each plug-in in a separate process. Plug-Ins which cause a crash, or are virtual instruments, will be marked as disabled.

After plug-ins have been scanned, they are available in the Effects menu. Near the bottom of the menu dropdown are 3 items: VST, VST3, and AU.

VST: Contains VST 2.4 plug-ins which are organized by manufacturer. For instance, all plug-ins by iZotope will be in a flyout submenu labeled “iZotope”


VST3: Contains VST 3.0 plug-ins which are organized via their internal metadata. For instance, noise reduction plug-ins might be in a flyout submenu labeled “Restoration”


AU: Contains Audio Units plug-ins (macOS only) which are organized by manufacturer. For instance, all plug-ins that ship with macOS are in a flyout submenu labeled “Apple”

Troubleshooting steps

To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in this section in order. Keep track of the tasks that you perform and the results of each, including errors and other problems. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.

Note: The procedures in this document are based on the default interface of Windows XP. If the interface is customized, some procedures may vary. For example, a commonly encountered difference is the navigation to Control Panel from the Start menu: You may navigate Start > Settings > Control Panel instead of Start > Control Panel.

1. Restart Adobe Audition and deselect the plug-in from the VST plug-in manager.

Stability issues can arise if a plug-in fails to initialize properly. The Audio Plug-in Manager lists all the plug-ins that Adobe Audition has scanned and allows you to turn each plug-in on or off.
To disable a plug-in that caused Adobe Audition to freeze during startup:
1. Restart Adobe Audition
2. Open the Audio Plug-in Manger from the Effects menu
3. In the list of plug-in files find the plug-in from step 1 and uncheck the box next to it.
4. Click OK.
Note: For more information about managing plug-ins see the 'Managing audio plug-ins' section of this document.

2. Run the plug-in in a session with a lower sample rate.

Adobe Audition can record, process and playback most hardware supported sample rates (normally up to 196k); however, not all plug-ins were tested or designed for high sample rates. Editing and mixing sessions at high sample rates while incorporating plug-in effects can cause a significant drop in the performance of Adobe Audition or may cause Adobe Audition to crash. If you mix audio in the multitrack or use the mastering rack with files or sessions that are over 48k (48000 samples) and notice problem, then test the plug-in at a lower sample rate.
To check the sample rate capability of the plug-in:
1. In Multitrack Main view, select File > New Session.
2. Choose 48000 in the New Session dialog box.
3. Import an audio file and place it on track 1.
4. Add the effect that you want to test.
5. Play the session.
If the plug-in performs as expected at 48k, then consider finding another plug-in to take its place, or lowering the sample rate of files or sessions.

3. Temporarily disable plug-in automation.

Waves Plug-ins For Adobe Audition

Temporarily disable automation for individual tracks that have effects to test if effects automation is causing the problem. Within the Multitrack view, you can create new automation lanes for any available effect parameter. Not all plug-ins were tested or designed for automation and can cause a significant drop in the performance of Adobe Audition, or may cause Adobe Audition to crash.
To disable plug-in automation:
1. In Multitrack view, locate the track that has effects automation.
2. Change the Track Automation Mode to Off.
3. Play the session.
If the session plays as expected without automation, then consider replacing the plug-in with a similar plug-in, or enable Pre-Render the track.
For more information about track automation mode see Automating mixes with envelopes.
For more information about freezing tracks see Pre-render track effects to improve performance.
