Ah. I stand corrected. I thought he had some version of a DAW, just not a recent version. Yes, any DAW would almost certainly be a big step up.

OK, I made a quick and dirty demo, partly because I thought it might help Barry, partly because I realized I'd never tried this in Audition, so it was good to check out the workflow there. This isn't likely to be much help to Barry, unfortunately, but this is what everyone is trying to explain, as applied to solo guitar. Just about any DAW made in the past 10 years or so will do this, it's just a matter of where the various buttons are found. (Note that I now have about 5 minutes worth of experience doing this in Audition, so there may be shortcuts or better ways to do things in it.) But Audition 1.5 was basically the old freeware "Cool Edit", maybe 20 years old now? and was never intended to do this kind of thing.

Anyway, hope this is still useful. I was just on a tech support line with a guy who kept telling me to "push the button on the right" and I saw no button on the right. Very frustrating :-) So hopefully this will clarify what people have been telling you to do, even tho you don't have the tools to do it.

I used my stab at your example, Barry. Doesn't really sound like Stephen, but that's how it goes...

I was just making a video demo to show Barry how to set this up, but now that I know he's got an ancient version, it's less useful. But I'll post it shortly, in case it clarifies what everyone is talking about. The issue I always see with online demos is that they're too complicated and don't focus on solo guitar like Barry is doing.
It's been a long time since I used Audition 1.5, but my memory says that Audition has always been product that supported two modes. One mode is as you remember, an Edit mode which was more or less a stereo "destructive edit" mode product and the other mode was a non-destructive multitrack editor similar to other DAWs.

You could be right, that's not how I remember it, but it's been 15-20 years...

if you're right, Barry should be able to confirm. All the controls will surely be in different places, but the concepts should be the same.

I still use Audition 3.0 under windows because it had some useful features they removed in the next release, but I thought 3.0 was when they introduced all the DAW-like features. Could be mis-remembering.

Wow, thanks Doug. I'll have to see what multi track DAW I can come up with. That was really interesting. I'd be really happy with that recording result! Thanks again!

Ok this is interesting.

I downloaded the trial version of the newest Audition and followed Doug's tutorial. I have to get the hang of adjusting the send. I have the same tools that Doug used including the reverb files.

Here's my first attempt at multitrack, etc. I'm happier than a pig in mud right now. I can use all my plugins in one daw and not have to jump around. I have too much reverb in this mix but I can just go back in and turn it down without having to do everything else all over again.

Thank you Doug!

Barry mentioned he uses Audition version 1.5. That's at least 15 years old.

Yes, thanks. It was certainly one of those "it's for your own good" moments, lol.

1.5 released May 2004, so almost exactly 15 years ago. From the wikipedia page, it looks like it did have some form of multi-track support. But the page says Adobe "entered the DAW market" with 2.0, whatever that means.

The 1.5 does have some kind of multi track ability, but when I tried to get it to do what you did in the video, it just wasn't happening at all. I suspect it may have been intended just to add different instrument tracks, but I'm not sure. It felt like I was putting a square peg into a round hole so I said forget it and upgraded to the recent version.

This is an excellent instructional video. Kudos, Doug Young! I hope Barry doesn't feel "pummelled" by all the posts encouraging this approach but the video above makes it really obvious why this is the way to go.:
