ADOBE AUDITION


Adobe Audition is one of the industry standards for audio file editing and creation. The software allows users to edit, create, combine and layer audio files in order to create professional-quality sound bites, songs and audio clips. Used in the music industry, broadcasting professions and web creation, Adobe Audition is a versatile tool that can be used for many functions. Here are a few tips about how to use Adobe Audition.

Steps:
  1. Create content by selecting a new project, the file it will be saved to and click on "Record." The wave form should appear on the screen after you have stopped recording.
  2. Edit your recording by selecting a starting point. Click your mouse at the point you wish the edited portion to start. Drag the mouse (with the left button still held down) to the point where you'd like to stop editing. The area should become highlighted. Double-click on the area in order to edit it. Press the space bar to play the clip. Use your mouse to narrow down the clip you wish to edit. You may delete out unnatural breaths, extraneous noise or mistakes by highlighting them in the waveform and hitting "Delete."
  3. Add to your recording. You may insert spaces or other files into your recording. Position your cursor at the point in the recording you wish to insert another file. Click on "Insert" and "Audio" in order to select the file you wish to insert. It's always wise to edit this clip prior to inserting it into your new file. However, after it's inserted, editing is often necessary in order to make it sound natural.
  4. Adjust the pitch of your audio clip. Click on "Time and Pitch" and "Stretch" in order to increase or decrease the pitch of your recording, but leave it the same length.
  5. Lengthen or shorten your audio clip by clicking the left mouse button and the shift button at the same time with the cursor placed at the end of your clip. To extend it, drag the clip to the right. To shorten the clip, drag the mouse to the left.
  6. Create an echo effect with your clip. Select "Delay and Echo" and "Echo" effect. This will cause your clip to sound like an echo from a canyon or mountain. You can alter the echo effect by adjusting various settings within this mode. You can experiment with other special effects to enhance your recording even more.

SLIDE MASTER

What is a slide master?
A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about the theme and slide layouts of a presentation, including the background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes, and positioning.
Every presentation contains at least one slide master. The key benefit to using slide masters is that you can make universal style changes to every slide in your presentation, including ones added later to the presentation. When you use a slide master, you save time because you don't have to type the same information on more than one slide. The slide master especially comes in handy when you have extremely long presentations with lots of slides.
Because slide masters affect the look of your entire presentation, when you create and edit a slide master or corresponding layouts, you work in Slide Master View.

When you want your presentation to contain two or more different styles or themes (such as backgrounds, colors, fonts, and effects), you need to insert a slide master for each different theme.
For example, in the image that follows, there are two slide masters as you would see them in Slide Master View. Each slide master has a different theme applied to it. Each slide master owns the layouts beneath it. Any modifications or customizations made to those layouts belong to the associated slide master. All presentations have a slide master, whether you modify it directly or not. To apply more than one theme to a presentation, see Apply multiple themes to a presentation.

 
Create and customize one or more slide masters
For each slide master that you want to create, do the following:
1.     Open a blank presentation, and then, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Master.
2.       When you open Slide Master view, a blank slide-master with the default, associated layouts appears. If you want to add another slide master, do the following:
1.      Click a location in the slide thumbnail pane where you want the new slide master to appear.
2.      On the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Master group, click Insert Slide Master.
        Note   In the slide thumbnail pane, the slide master is the larger slide image, and the associated layouts are positioned beneath the slide master.
3.         To create one or more custom layouts or to modify existing layouts, see Create a new custom layout.
4.         To add or modify placeholders in your layouts, see Add one or more content placeholders to a layout or Change a placeholder.
5.         To remove any of the built-in slide layouts that accompany the default slide master, in the slide thumbnail pane, right-click each slide layout that you want to delete, and then click Delete Layout on the shortcut menu.
6.         To apply a design or theme-based colors, fonts, effects and backgrounds, see Apply a theme to your presentation.
7.         To set the page orientation for all of the slides in your presentation, on the Slide Master tab, in the Page Setup group, click Slide Orientation, and then click either Portrait or Landscape.
8.         To add text that will appear as a footer at the bottom of all of the pages in your presentation, do the following:
1.         On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Header & Footer.
2.      In the Header and Footer dialog box, on the Slide tab, select the Footer check box, and then type the text that you want to appear in the center-bottom of your slides.
3.         Click Apply to All.
9.         Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save As.
10.     In the File name box, type a file name, or do nothing to accept the suggested file name.
11.     In the Save as type list, click PowerPoint Template, and then click Save.
12.     On the Slide Master tab, in the Close group, click Close Master View.
