comment How do I isolate parts of a song according to pan position?
I believe this would apply for any audio, not just music, and I believe you'll get a better answer on the Audio site. so I'm going to migrate this.

comment Difference between microphone and line in inputs?
I've never owned a sound card, onboard or otherwise, that mixed the inputs. And there's plenty of software that uses the device selected by the OS for "Recording" rather than managing things itself.

comment Sound system noise from lighting system
That's a clever way to reduce the noise. I'm not sure if you could do something like what true noise-cancelling headphones do -- sample the noise (before it's mixed with your audio), invert it, and mix it in so the inversion cancels out the noise?

Get a cable splitter and split the final output, so you can feed it back into headphones or a monitor or something.

I believe I was, but I'm not entirely sure how Adobe Audition does it.

Unfortunately it's not my music, so I don't have the option of working with anything else. Thanks for the answer.

comment What is compression and why is it used?
All he said was "related to vocal recording"; I'm not a mindreader. Vocal recordings need to be stored, and the purpose of this sort of compression is not to decrease audio quality.
