If you are doing some audio mastering using Adobe Audition, this tutorial will help you find some great tools that you can use in your mastering. There are lots of tools available, some are built-in to Adobe Audition while others can be added via DirectX or VST plug-ins.
Some of these tools are not free, so you need to license it before it can be fully operational in Adobe Audition. These are the tools that I am using in my home audio mastering. And I will explain in details some of my tips and favorite settings. But first, below is the audio mastering flowchart I am using:

The input of the mastering stage is the 24-bit/96KHz WAV mix down file from the audio mixing process. The first step is the cleaning of the audio file, so there are no strict tools that I am using with this procedure. You can simply cut the extra beginning and end time so that the entire length is reasonable. You can read more details about here.Take note that all the mastering is done in Adobe Audition Edit view:
Tools/Plugins #1: Adobe Audition Stereo widening Effect
In Adobe Audition, go to Effects – Amplitude – Pan/Expand. My favorite preset is “Mastering Width”.
When to use stereo widening in mastering? This is very helpful if you find the left and right panned instruments to be weak compared to the instruments at the center. Supposing the vocals is too strong in the center while the guitars are deeply buried in the background. You can use stereo widening effect to balance the volume. The effect is that the guitar volume will be brought up to a comparable level to the vocals.
Tools/Plugins #2: Multiband Compressor
Personally I am using the Waves LinMB (Linear Phase Multiband compressor). This is a plug-in so this means you need to install this first to your Adobe Audition software before using it.
When to use multiband compressor?This tool allows you to apply both compression and EQ in the same tool. Compression and EQ are two very important factors in shaping the final sound in the mastering process. You can read these following tutorials for details about this subject:
Tools/Plugins #3: Adobe Audition Parametric Equalizer
This is a built-in tool in Adobe Audition. To use this EQ, go to Effects – Filters – Parametric Equalizer.
When to use Parametric Equalizer? If you like to shape the sound of your audio, you need to use Parametric EQ. You need to assign two settings and that is the amount of cut/boost as well as the Q. If you search for mastering EQ tutorials in this blog; all settings can be implemented using parametric equalizer.
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.
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:
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.
Adobe Audition Effects Plugins
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.
