Set up your microphone
Set up your microphone
Rename the first (top) track by clicking on “Track 1” and changing to your (or the host’s) name
First we need to make sure the Host track is set to use your microphone. In the Host track, click “Default Stereo Input” in the Track Input selector, then Mono, then choose the first input channel displayed.
This choice will be different for every system, but Audition defaults to your primary operating system input. To change your default settings, open Preferences > Audio Hardware
If you have not connected another microphone, you’ll use the computer’s mic, labeled “Built-in Microphone.” If you’ve connected a microphone or an audio interface, look for that.
Arm for recording and check levels
Arm for recording and check levels
Test your microphone selection and input level by arming the track for recording. Click the R button in the track panel, next to the name of the track.
The button should turn red and you should see the track input level meter become active with green, yellow, and red bars indicating how loud your input signal is.
Say a few words out loud and watch the meter. Ideally, the meter will turn yellow when you’re speaking normally and will not extend into the red for very long. If your input is too loud, which will be shown by a lot of red, then your recording may become clipped or distorted.

When you’re ready to record your podcast greeting, click the red Record button at the bottom of the Editor panel. Recording will begin immediately. Say whatever’s on your mind, or read the these steps as a practice script.
When you’ve finished speaking, click the Stop button. You can listen to your recording by clicking the Play button.
