=Introduction= <br />
'''Adobe Audition''' is a Digital Audio Editor released by [http://www.adobe.com Adobe Systems]. Formerly known as '''CoolEdit Pro''', the editor was purchased in [http://www.adobe.com/special/products/audition/syntrillium.html May, 2003.] It is a powerful tool for creating audio for any destination, from CD and DVD, to broadcast television and digital media.<br />
<br />
One strong advantage of Audition is its extensibility using various "Filters" (known in many other applications as "plugins").<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
Adobe Audition includes many advanced audio editing features.<br />
<br />
===Multi-track Editing===<br />
Adobe Audition is a multi-track editing program with support for up to 128 tracks. You can work in multi-track view, or edit individual waveforms. Audition also has tools for adding audio effects, and creating muisc with loops. It can record up to 32 tracks simultaneously with real-time effects and EQ processing on each track.<br />
<br />
===Video Soundtrack Editing===<br />
Audition includes features that make it easy to edit video soundtracks. Included is a video viewer and associated timeline for frame accurate audio editing. File format support includes [[AVI]], native DV, [[MPEG]], and [[WMV]].<br />
<br />
===Digital Signal Processing===<br />
Audition features approximately built-in audio processors and effects. Some of these include volume, noise and EQ filters, delay effects, reverb effects, and time/pitch shifting. Audition also supports third-party effects via both the DirectX interface and the VST plug-in architecture.<br />
<br />
===High Resolution Audio===<br />
Audition offers audio recording and editing at a variety of quality levels. It supports 32-bit audio with a sample rate of up to 10MHz. Standard sample rates (such as 44.1KHz - CD quality, 48KHz, 92KHz) are also available.<br />
<br />
===Other Features===<br />
* CD Burning Support<br />
* 5000 Included Music Loops<br />
* Built-In 5.1 Surround Sound Encoder<br />
<br />
==System Requirements==<br />
* 400MHz or faster processor (2GHz or faster recommended)<br />
* Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows XP Professional or Home Edition<br />
* 64MB of RAM (512MB or more recommended)<br />

[[Category:Audio Editors]]</div>Spooky Donkeyhttps://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:FAQFoobar2000:FAQ2006-08-18T22:34:47Z<p>Spooky Donkey: /* There are multiple output methods available: DirectSound, waveOut and Kernel Streaming. Which one should I use? */ grammar</p>
<hr />
<div>A rather extensive FAQ is available at the [http://shsc.info/foobar2000 SH/SC Wiki].<br />
<br />
= General =<br />
<br />
<br />
== Is foobar2000 still under active development? ==<br />
<br />
Yes. Please see the forum and the foobar2000 homepage for the latest version and news about upcoming versions.<br />
<br />
= Playback =<br />
== There are multiple output methods available: DirectSound, waveOut and Kernel Streaming. Which one should I use? ==<br />
A: The default setting (waveOut) is recommended; it should be safe to use anywhere. Using DirectSound results in better performance (less CPU overhead)—especially under Windows 2000, Windows XP or newer—but there shouldn't be any audible difference between the two. In certain rare cases, Kernel Streaming may produce better results than DirectSound/waveOut (if for some reason you need data sent through digital out to be bit-identical to source stream); however, bit-identical results with DirectSound have been reported on soundcards capable of mixing multiple streams in hardware (with hardware mixing enabled in DirectSound settings).<br />
<br />
Please note that Kernel Streaming is an experimental feature with known issues, and using it is ''not'' recommended unless you have a clear need to do so. Most of perceived "sound quality differences" between DirectSound and Kernel Streaming are related to the fact that Kernel Streaming usually bypasses the Windows volume control. In addition, Kernel Streaming only works on Windows 2000, Windows XP or newer.<br />
<br />
== How can I send my files from Windows Explorer into a specific playlist, so as not to erase my current playlist? ==<br />
Preferences → General → Always send to playlist <tt>(playlist name)</tt> (0.9)<br />
Preferences → Core → Always send to playlist <tt>(playlist name)</tt> (0.8x)<br />
<br />
== How do I create a temporary playlist? ==<br />
Use <tt>[http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12124 foo_temple]</tt> {{Foobar2000v08}}.<br />
<br />
= Look & Feel =<br />
== How can I get G-force in a panel or a tab? ==<br />
To get [http://soundspectrum.com/ G-force] without any edges, or in a tab/panel, follow these steps:<br />
<br />
# Open the <tt>Documents and Settings\&lt;your Windows username&gt;\G-force</tt> folder<br />
# Open the <tt>Preferences (foobar2000).txt</tt> file and change the line <tt>NoBo=0</tt> to <tt>NoBo=1</tt><br />
<br />
You won't be able to resize the window, so set the position and size of the window carefully. To put it as a tab, just create a fake tab called G-Force and place the window (the window without borders will take the place of the window with borders included before the change).<br />
<br />
== I just saw a great looking foobar2000 window, but I don't know how to get mine looking the same way! Is there no hope for me? ==<br />
Of course there is! Simply take a look at these links:<br />

<br />
== Is there a way to make MSN Messenger's "Now Playing" show the song I'm listening to with foobar? ==<br />
Yes, through plugins:<br />

* <tt>[http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31609 foo_msn]</tt><br />
<br />
== I have seen some people using something which pops up to display the song being listened to. Where can I find it? ==<br />
* It's called <tt>[http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=33236&hl=foo_pretty+pop-up foo_prettypop]</tt>. Note that it requires the .NET Framework to work.<br />
* You can also use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31695 foo_toaster] (0.8.x only).<br />
<br />
= Columns UI =<br />
== How can I get tabbed panels? ==<br />
Use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28869&hl=uie+tabs uie tabs].<br />
<br />
== Where are the options for changing the playback buttons? ==<br />
* For 0.8.x = Preferences → Display → UI columns → Other → Use custom buttons<br />
* For 0.9.x = Right click on buttons area → Customise...<br />
<br />
== How can I display the album art and cover above my playlist? ==<br />
To set the panels above your playlist, just use <tt>list all toolbars</tt>, then add the panels/toolbars/visualizations that you want to use. Organize them as you want them to be displayed. And finally, use the 'minimum height' values of the corresponding panels. As it is not a common way to use the toolbar, you may experience some unexpected behaviour. Keep in mind that it may create some display problems. Musicmusic may fix this into the next version of Columns UI.<br />
<br />
= Database and Tagging =<br />
== Foobar always takes between 5 minutes and several hours to open all the files in the same playlist. Is there a way to reduce this delay? ==<br />
Sure. Enable the database (Preferences → Core → Database). You will be able to add thousands of files in only 30-40 seconds.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, if you don't want to activate the database, just save your playlists in the <tt>fpl</tt> format.<br />
<br />
== I updated my tags, but foobar still shows the old tags. How can I fix this? ==<br />
Foobar only adds the info to the database (if it is enabled), so you have to update the info in it: select the file(s), right click on any of them, go to "Database", then click on "Reload info from files".<br />
<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
== I get an error message saying "referenced file doesn't exist" on the console. What does that mean, and how can it be fixed? ==<br />
This error is caused by an outdated/broken CUE sheet or APL link. You need to find and repair or remove it. After that, run "Remove dead entries" from the Database page in the Preferences dialog.<br />
<br />
== The Album List shows dead entries after restarting, even though I used "Remove dead entries" earlier. Why is that? ==<br />
The files are probably still referenced in one of your playlists or in the history (if you are using an old version of <tt>foo_history</tt>). Use Playlist → Remove dead entries from the main menu on all your playlists, or remove the dead entries manually. As long as the files are on a playlist, they will be in the database and thus will show up in album list.<br />
<br />
== Menu items for some plugins don't show up. I reinstalled but I still don't see them, even though the plugin is shown as a Loaded Library. ==<br />
If you delete a menu item for a plugin, and then re-add the plugin, it won't re-add the menu items. The solution is to open the Preferences dialog, go to Core → Main menu items, and add the items manually.<br />
<br />
== An MP3 does not play properly (there is no sound) in fb2k whereas it plays perfectly in other players. What is the problem? ==<br />
You need to disable <tt>Use peak info to scale down tracks that still clip after applying replaygain</tt> in the Preferences dialog, in the ReplayGain section of the Playback page.<br />
<br />
== I use the volume control toolbar but it doesn't work. What's the problem? ==<br />
You may be using Kernel Streaming or ASIO. These two output methods are not compatible with the volume control toolbar.<br />
<br />
== There is always a long delay before changes to the DSPs take effect. Can I reduce this? ==<br />
Try reducing the output buffer length from Preferences → Playback → Output → (your selected output method). However, do not put it at the minimum length. 300ms should be enough (more if you are using several DSPs).<br />
<br />
= foobar and other players =<br />
== How can I publish my playlist as HTML, like in Winamp? ==<br />
Use <tt>[http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=33795 foo_playlist_output]</tt>. There is also a customizable version available (needs <tt>foo_playlist_output</tt>): <tt>[http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=33895 foo_playlist_output_custom]</tt>.<br />
<br />
== Is foobar really better than Winamp? ==<br />
There is no set answer. According to public opinion, foobar is great for people wanting a minimal player, as well as the opposite: people needing advanced features. However, the medium users are lost between the profusion of settings and components to find. Some relevant links:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20322 Tell us why have you chosen foobar2000, or why don't you like it]<br />
* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29501&hl=winamp could foobar2000 replace winamp?]<br />
<br />
== Is the sound really better with foobar? ==<br />
As the author of foobar says himself, foobar doesn't have a better sound than the other players like Winamp. From a theoretical point of view, the sound from foobar2000 is not different from the sound from other players since a player can't improve the sound drastically (though it might be altered if not correctly set). Your hardware is much more important (audio card, speakers, headphones, even cables), as is the audio source (Audio CD? Lossless codec? Lossy codec?). The software part is only secondary.<br />
<br />
Even if sound modifiers ([[Foobar2000:Components_0.9#DSP|DSPs]]) are used, they only widen the gap between the source and the result, which might actually degrade the sound quality.<br />
<br />
== I won't leave iTunes, it manages my iPod perfectly! ==<br />
Maybe this will change your mind: <tt>[http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19156 foo_pod]</tt> (only {{Foobar2000v08}}). There is [http://www.tinkafoo.com/log/foo_pod.html a good manual for it] too.<br />

<div>== Disclaimer ==<br />
The guidelines described in this document have been agreed upon by a group of foobar2000 users and titleformatting scripts authors. Adherence to these guidelines is not required to be able to use foobar2000, though some components or pre-made titleformatting scripts may require or enforce the use of a particular tag.<br />
<br />
== Discussion and comments ==<br />
You can leave comments about this page on the [[Foobar2000_Talk:Encouraged_Tag_Standards|Talk page]]. However, real discussion, proposals for new tag-standards, and decisions should happen in the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31530 forum-thread], because more people will notice it there and be able to give input.<br />
<br />
== Codesnippets and foobar2000 versions ==<br />
The codesnippets are meant for use in Foobar2000 v0.9. Because of the new field-remappings introduced in v0.9, they do not work with older versions of foobar2000.<br />
<br />
== General Tag Construction ==<br />
<br />
* Use an easily understood English field name.<br />
* Prefix album-related information with "ALBUM ", ie. "ALBUM ARTIST", "ALBUM SUBTITLE".<br />
* Avoid use of non-alphabetical characters. For serial fields (for a bad example, FIELD1, FIELD2, etc.), merely enter them in the order that you wish them to be read in.<br />
* Try to avoid the use of underscores. Spaces are easier to type, more legible, and as easily useable in Tagz. Spaces are also preferable to no spaces.<br />
<br />
== Overview of Current Recommendations ==<br />
<br />
FIELD NAME [format] (component)<br />
<br />
* ALBUM ARTIST [e.g., Various Artists, The Foobar Collective] (none)<br>''Notes'': Field name is ALBUM ARTIST, with ''no underscore''. Tag should exist if and only if an album is by multiple artists, and be contained in every track. Track-specific artists should be entered in the ARTIST tag, never in the TITLE tag.<br>[http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards#ALBUM_ARTIST (more about this standard)]<br />
* FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED [2005-03-22 19:00:00...] ([http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20719 foo_playcount])<br>''Notes'': These two tags use underscores instead of spaces - reason for this was to make it consistent with the already existing PLAY_COUNTER-tag. Any amount or type of data may be placed after the time. Compliant TAGZ code shall use $substr() instead of $right() when extracting substrings from this field.<br>''See also'': [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Tips_%26_Tricks#Standardize_my_PLAY_DATE_and_PLAY_TIME_fields Standardize my PLAY_DATE and PLAY_TIME fields]<br>[http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards#FIRST_PLAYED_and_LAST_PLAYED (more about this standard)]<br />
<br />
=== ALBUM ARTIST ===<br />
''Basics'':<br />
*the tag-fieldname used for declaring and describing albums/split-EPs or split-singles which contain various artists is "ALBUM ARTIST" (separated with space, not underscore)<br />
*tag should only exist if an album contains various artists. It should NOT be created when an album does not contain various artists.<br />
*the tag can contain the overall artist of an album (like e.g. "the foo-bar collective",) multiple artists (e.g. with split-EPs) or if an album does not have a clear overall artist (for example with compilations) just "Various Artists". Simply said: you're free to enter whatever you like as long as it describes the overall album-wide artist(s).<br />
*every track in a V.A.-album has to contain this tag with the same value<br />
*the track-specific artist should be entered into the ARTIST-tag<br />
*the TITLE-tag should only contain the track-title<br />
<br />
''Reasons for this standard'':<br />
*it solves all issues regarding albums which contain multiple artists with just one tag<br />
*it is already in widespread use<br />
*sortable and searchable with low effort<br />
*keeping the ARTIST-tag trackspecific allows to find tracks in V.A.-albums as well when searching for a certain artist (DB-friendly)<br />
*keeping the TITLE-tag title-specific allows sorting and searching of V.A.-albums by title (DB-friendly)<br />
*allows meaningful determination and display of V.A.-Albums with a minimum amount of code<br />
*avoids resource-hungry and unsafe "guessing" of V.A.-albums via the filepath<br />
*easy to remember and type in manually<br />
*does not disrupt existing systems when the ARTIST- and TITLE-tag are already track specific (easy transition)<br />
*can coexist with additional directory-based sorting and marking<br />
*can be used for split-EPs and split-singles as well<br />
*supported by [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference#Field_remappings|Field Remappings]] in foobar2000 0.9<br />
<br />
''Code snippets'':<br />
<br />
// check if an album is V.A.<br />
$if($meta_test(album artist),$puts(album_is_va,1))<br />
<br />
// For sorting by artist in an album-context replace %artist% - %album% with:<br />
%album artist% - %album%<br />
<br />
// singlemode display without %album artist%-support<br />
[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%title%]<br />
<br />
// singlemode display with %album artist%-support<br />
// note: if your display supports both, albummode and singlemode, then you<br />
// may want to use the above version instead in singlemode - depends on taste<br />
[%album artist% - ][%album% - ][%track artist% - ][%title%]<br />
<br />
// How to easily integrate %album artist% into an albummode-display:<br />
// in the albummode-column, replace %artist% with:<br />
[%album artist%]<br />
// in the title-column, replace %title% with:<br />
[%track artist% - ][%title%]<br />
<br />
=== FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED ===<br />
''Basics'':<br />
* the tag-fieldname used for storing info when a song was played the first time is "FIRST_PLAYED"<br />
* the tag-fieldname used for storing info when a song was played the last time is "LAST_PLAYED"<br />
* tags contain date and time in the following format at the beginning: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" (with 24hours-format)<br />
* additional info may be appended after the above info<br />
<br />
''Reasons for this standard'':<br />
* the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/musepack/klemm/www.personal.uni-jena.de/~pfk/mpp/sv8/time.html APE-dateformat] (derived from ISO) is internationally neutral<br />
* sortable<br />
* easily readable and recognizable<br />
* format can be verified with TAGZ<br />
* can be included in formatting-strings without reformatting it (pro for amateur tagz-coders)<br />
* choosing a new fieldname avoids confusion with the existing ambigious play_date tag<br />
* field name is easy to understand/recognize/remember and short enough to type in manually<br />
<br />
''Code snippets'':<br />
<br />
// verify tag-format (we check the pos. of the first dash and ":")<br />
// using $len for verification is strongly unrecommended!<br />
$if(<br />
$and($strcmp($strstr(%last_played%,-),5),$strcmp($strstr(%last_played%,:),14))<br />
,$puts(last_played_is_valid,1)<br />
)<br />
<br />
// disassemble the timestamp for later reformatting or calcuations<br />
$puts(last_played_year,$substr(%last_played%,1,4))<br />
$puts(last_played_month,$substr(%last_played%,6,7))<br />
$puts(last_played_day,$substr(%last_played%,9,10))<br />
$puts(last_played_hour,$substr(%last_played%,12,13))<br />
$puts(last_played_min,$substr(%last_played%,15,16))<br />
$puts(last_played_sec,$substr(%last_played%,18,19))<br />
<br />
// display only the date of last_played (without reformatting)<br />
$left(%last_played%,10)<br />
<br />
// display only the time of last_played (without reformatting)<br />
// the use of $right is strongly unrecommended!<br />
$substr(%last_played%,12,19)<br />
<br />
The above code-snippets can be used for FIRST_PLAYED as well (just replace last_played with first_played).<br />
<br />
== Obsolete and Deprecated Tag Standards ==<br />
<br />
=== PLAY_DATE and PLAY_TIME ===<br />
<br />
Deprecated tags produced by old versions of foo_playcount. Default format DDMMYY for PLAY_DATE and HHMMSS (24hr) for PLAY_TIME. See [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards#FIRST_PLAYED_and_LAST_PLAYED FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED].</div>Spooky Donkey
