On my continuing quest to buld the perfect CEP Audition Punch & Roll extension, I've got a question. I've got a full, non-destructible extension working for Punch & Roll on Audition now, which I'm planning to release on the marketplace for free. - Adobe Audition Punch & Roll Extension - Non-Destructive - YouTube It's a significant upgrade over my previous destructive, waveform-only version, and infinitely more reliable. Right now, however, I have to enforce an 'only record on track 1' limitation for the extension. The reason for this is that I have no other way to guarantee that the SELECTED track is the same track that the recording is taking place on, so trimming clips doesn't work properly if you have a different track selected than the one that is armed to record. I currently work around this by 'shifting to previous track' multiple times before starting a punch (i.e. ensuring that track 1 is always the selected track.) This is pretty silly, and curtails some of the more advanced use cases that folks are asking for. So, my question(s) are relatively simple - 1) Is there a way to query whether recording is armed on the SELECTED track? I can query whether recording is enabled, but that doesn't take into account track selection - it just returns true if ANY track is armed. If I can query this, and the current selected track is not armed, I can pop a dialog saying 'nope, please select an armed track, sorry!' and prevent mishaps. 2) Can I force your track selection TO an armed track? If I can do that, I can force your track selection to the first armed track in sequence, and that similarly solves the problem. Thanks for any help! Travis ... View more

I'd like to request a key-shortcut to apply mix-paste with previous settings, so that you aren't always asked to reconfirm - Apart from being useful in standard audio cleanup, I have an ulterior motive to go along with it - I've developed an extension for Audition CC which allows you to do punch and roll recording (something that is requested really, really often) with crossblending of the record, re-punch, metronome, and adjustable prerolls. It's really slick! However, there is one shaky part - to handle the blend of the newly recorded audio, I do an automated mix-paste with app.invokeCommand('Edit.MixPaste') . Most of the time, if I inject a app.invokeCommand('Keyboard.Enter') right afterward, I luck out, and it'll confirm the dialog and all is well. Sometimes, however, for some timing related reasons that presumably have to do with script execution over time, it doesn't work. The mix paste dialog is modal and doesn't allow commands to be invoked - so I can only sneak them in if I basically fire both events off simultaneously. But it's just not reliable over the long haul. This would be a non-issue if I could perform a mixpaste without confirmation though- Howsabout it? ... View more

I have a pretty effective punch&roll extension for Audition functioning now - it works well and does some neat stuff. Apart from the packaging issues I'm having for distribution though, I have one other thing I'm trying to do. For voice recording, it's important to be able to activate this with a keypress - not just mouse input via buttons. At present, it looks like all key events are prevented from reaching the panel for my extension. My questions are - 1) Is there a way to get key input of any kind? 2) if not, I see things like UIControlEvents - but there's basically zero documentation on this. No idea what events might be available or how to listen for them. If I CAN get UIControlEvents with useful data then I can bind hotkeys to some other Audition functionality which I can then react to, thereby using them as 'key events'. I know that #2 can theoretically work if there are useful events - I watched the transport loop start/stop events to try it out in theory, and that works fine. Unfortunately i can't use that event, because it has adverse side effects in the recording rocess. Any help much appreciated. A lot of voice actors will thank you. ... View more

OK, I'm having a heck of a time getting extension packaging to work. I've created a panel extension that implements Punch & Roll functionality for Audition CC 2017. It works just fine if I have signing requirements disabled in the registry - but I've been completely unsuccessful in signing it to allow anyone else to use it. I've created a certificate with the Adobe Exchange packager - however, any attempts to actually package my files fail and point me to a fairly useless document to troubleshoot it. I also note that most of the documentation AND tools do NOT list Audition as a product to install for. (I do have Java installed and properly pointed to) I've also used the online tools at Adobe Exchange  I was able to generate a .zxp  and download it. However, attempting to install it with ANY tool fails - for instance, exmancmd.exe gives me a -252 error. (using admin privileges) There is SO MUCH conflicting information on how to go about this that it's daunting, and all of the error messages are completely uninformative. Is there a way to include the certificate with the loose files and just skip the whole packaging step and have a user drop a folder into their CEP/extensions folder? At this point I've spent more time fumbling with the obtuse packaging system than making the tool Any help much appreciated! ... View more
