Another thing worth doing is to make sure the selection you are removing is=
'zero crossing' on the in and out, this will stop any 'clicks creeping in =
at the join. Audition is usually set up as Shift I or Shift O which will mo=
ve the selection In or Out to the nearest zero crossing point.
Audition can also play across a highlighted section as if its not there, de=
pending on the version and how you have it set it can be either Alt R or Sh=
ift R as the key combination. You will also need to set a pre and post roll=
value, then using the relevant key combination it will play the pre roll u=
p to the start of the highlighted section then skip and play from the end o=
f the highlighted section for the post roll so you hear it as if you had ac=
tually made the edit. I find this invaluable for removing obtrusive sounds =
and such things as passing planes and the like. You can also set the Play b=
utton to do this by Right clicking it or Control clicking, but remember onc=
e set this way it will remain like that until you change it back.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Re: Fading In (and Out) of recording segments
I don't know about Cool Edit but at least in Audition 1.5 there is a
setting "Options>Settings> Data>Smoooth all edit boundaries by
crossfading __ ms". Mine is set to 3 ms which seems to work fine - I
think that was the default setting. I'm not sure if this applies
Multitrack View but in Edit view it does well at seamlessly splicing
out a cut section given similar content on either side. Spectral View
is handy for finding a good spots between events to place a cut
without breaking the natural rhythm.
