Audition

I regularly use several apps in parallel when I’m working with audio (Audition, Cubase, MATLAB, Amazing Slow Downer, etc.) and often, when I switch back to Audition, it has stopped responding, and requires that I do a Force Quit to work with it again.A second bug related to this: when it happens, and I double-click the file I was working with (to restart Audition), I’m told that a previous session ended unexpectedly, and I’m offered the Later/Delete/Open choice about what to do with the recovered session.  Since I want to ignore the recovered session and start over (with the file I’m trying to open), I select Delete, but this results in an empty session; I have to quit and double-click the file again.

When opening various VST plugins (from UAD to FabFilter), the plugin interface screens are blank. Just black. If I close the plugin and re-open, they are normal. I can still execute the plugin from the blank screen, but obviously can’t adjust anything. This just started happening a week or so ago.

Auto Save is not functioning properly in Adobe Audition. It fails seemingly at random. After hours of continuous work and attempting to open a version from five, ten, or twenty minutes ago, I navigate to my Auto Save folder and there are gaps of two to three hours.I am running version 25.0.0.56 on a 2021 MacBook Pro, Tahoe 26.5. My Auto Save folder is set to Documents/Audition Auto Save on my MacBook internal hard drive. I am working on the sound design of a feature film broken up into five 20 minute reels, and each reel is its own project file. I am referring to Multitrack projects, and the issue of Multitrack projects not Auto Saving. My Auto Save settings are to save a backup every three minutes, with a maximum of 10 files. I should also note that the limit of 10 does not hold true either, necessarily, sometimes it is more than 10 files. I first noticed the Auto Save malfunction when anyone would--when I messed something up, saved, and wanted to revert to a version from five or ten

This is a problem that has persisted for a long time now, and it’s so frustrating.  I do a lot of work in waveform mode, cleaning up narration audio, and what always happens within a few minutes of starting, the audio begins to crackle.  This does not effect any audio or video outside of premiere, but while working with the audio it sounds like an old record player.  This is not an intrinsic quality of the audio itself, but something happening during playback. I am using Windows 10, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core CPU, and GeForce 4060 Ti GPU. I have 64G of DD4 RAM, with less than 30% utilization while using Audition, using only about 18G with a 46G cache. While using the program I have 52G ram reserved for audition, using an SSD with about 160G free space as primary cache. In Task Manager, audition is only using about 200M ram.  CPU usage is negligible. So I can’t imagine that the problem is with ram, cache, or CPU, and for that reason, I don’t know how to stop it from happening.  I should

I’m trying to mix radio liners, but Adobe Audition 2026 (26.0.0.56) is ruining them by applying an echo effect on every one. It seems insane! And it’s driving me close to the same precipice. Maybe I should just switch back to a stable version like 2024?Any clip on the Flanger track gets an echo effect. There are absolutely no clip FX, and you can see the track FX in my screenshot. Even with Flanger turned off, the echo happens in the mixdown (not in the SESX itself).  

I have been asked to begin exporting episodes of a podcast that I edit in .aac format to meet the requirements of a new hosting service. However, Audition will not let me do so. When I select “MPEG 2-AAC (*.aac)” in the Format dropdown, I get a yellow warning sign next to the “OK” button that reads “The currently selected filter cannot save all files in the needed format” which is preventing me from progressing. I have tried a few things.I exported the file as an .mp3 and then opened it in Audition and exported that file as an .aac file. This was rejected by the host, saying that it was not encoded as an .aac file. I used Adobe Media Encoder to convert the .mp3 file to .aac. This was rejected by the host with the message “This file has an M4A extension but it does not appear to be an M4A file based on its contents.” Any help on how to proceed with exporting the file as .aac would be appreciated. Included below is a screenshot of the Export Multitrack Mixdown dialog box. 

Hello friends!I got a video recording I have to edit and the audio is...OK. But it kind of stutters and chops like it was recorded with pretty bad latency or a slow computer. I don't want to ask for another recording since they did an excellent performance and the audio isn't a deal-killer. But it drops to almost silent at several points throughout, making the whole thing sound rough, choppy, and stuttery.Any chance to intelligently repair those tiny little gaps? I'm looking for the opposite of noise reduction I guess! --------Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9980HK CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz32.0 GB RamAudition 23.1.0.75

Every time I double click a track on the multitrack view to edit it in the waveform view, and then try to record, the input level halves or is reduced even more. If I go back out and then go back in to record again, the input level gets even smaller. This bug is HUGE and is ruining my workflow.

Hi all, I recorded a 20 song compilation with Audtion and when the compilation was burnt I loaded the CD-R into my PC to play and all I had was 20 files of non music files. Each one sounded different but there wasn’t any music to be found. The knock on effect of this has caused the 20 songs on my hard drive to sound completely the same as the CD-R. Can I get the 20 songs on my hard drive sounding back to normal. Please find attached one of the 20 songs.

Hi, I'm using the latest version of Audition and this bug has finally got on my nerves enough to actually post about it.In some cases when using batch process and using a custom favorite chain (with specific first-party and third-party VST3 plugins), the audio file comes out damaged, like some parts of other audio files in the batch list get pasted into the opened audio file, in random spots. This is not a common thing to happen and happens very rarely but it is too big of a bug to ignore, as I have to then constantly check if all files were processed successfully without glitches and is really a time waster when you get to more than 50 files. Please fix this as this problem has been present since I started using Audition CC (CC2021, or maybe even older), so it's been going on for too long!It's a rare thing to happen but still worthy of posting. Currently using Audition CC v24.6 (Build 24.6.0.69) on Apple M2 Max, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Help me!!! When I click files and then open. It shows up as my account on the computer, but I want it to be a different account. How can I switch accounts.

Hi all, I posted something similair recently but having the same issue.  Problem: while either playing back or recording, the Audio Hardware settings pop up notification pops up even though there was no change to the Hardware. This is getting increasingly frustrating.  I just upgraded from an old behringer USB Mixer (which worked fine) to a new Behringer UMC 1824 Audio Interface. Thats when I started noticing this problem. Since I was not able to resolve, I thouhght it was an issue with the interface itself.  Just bought a brand new Presonus Studio 1824C and suprise suprise, the same issue is occuring. This has to be an issue with some setting somehwhere in Adobe that is causing this. I tested on my laptop and it same problem. All signs pointing to Adobe. I can't imagine that Adobe Audition can't support either of those interfaces. Can anyone think of why Adobe would keep thinking the Audio Hardware changes when there is nothing getting plugged in/out at t

I can't get Adobe Audition to see my microphone or my TASCAM audio interface. This just started. Prior to this, I've never had any problem. I was thinking that a recent Windows 11 update ransacked my settings, but I haven’t been able to verify this.  I have a very old TASCAM unit, but it still lights up and receives power. I'm at a loss for next steps.

I have to bite the bullet and upgrade my PC.   Can anyone suggest a compatible over-the-counter system from Best Buy, Staples or Costco?    They’re the stores where I live, but I’d also consider delivery from another supplier.  Would like to keep my cost down, of course.  Monitor is not needed.  This is for Audition use only, for voiceover.   I have the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 as an interface, and I work from within a booth.   Thank you!!

I make use of a .docx file to document the edits I need to make in the sound file. The image below shows the .docx files for the edits for July 19 and 26. I also had a .docx file for 260712.I can save the edited sound file without any issue. However, as soon as I save my multitrack session (.sesx), the .docx file disappears.At first I thought it might just have been deleted, but I can neither find it in the recycle bin nor recover it with an undelete app. This happens every time I save a session.None of the other files are affected.Steps to reproduce:Create or place a .docx file in the same working folder as the Audition project Work on and save audio edits normally Save the multitrack session (.sesx) The .docx file disappears immediately after saving the sessionExpected result:The .docx file remains untouched in the folder.Actual result:The .docx file disappears completely (not in recycle bin, not recoverable).System details:Adobe Audition version: 26.0.0056 Operating system:Windows 1

I have a track that changes time signatures from 4/4 to 3/4 at measure 61. The beats still line up because the tempo is the same, but the measures don’t and I want them to line up for both the 4/4 section and the 3/4 section without having to split the track into 2 files. 

On our church audio recording PC, I have a shortcut set to open Audition. Well, I apparently set it directly to the 2025 version rather than “the latest” as I did not realize it would change with updates. So my first question is: How do I create a shortcut, that assuming we do not change the computer for a few years, as the latest updates roll in, it will simply open the latest version instead of a specific year of Audition?Related question: I noticed that if I open the 2026 version, it’s as if we never used it, so my multi-channel presets do not pull in. How do I copy over any presets/settings from the 2025 to the 2026 version (and hopefully continue with newer versions or just make sure the newer versions pull in the previous settings automatically?Thanks for any ideas.

I own an old-fashioned Mackie HUI panel which i connect to my windows PC using a MIDI-USB cable. This works fine using ProTools, but when i try to connect to Audition and select the HUI protocol, it tells me that it has problems accesing a resource (HUIConfig).If i use the same setup on my macbook everything works fine, if i install Audition on my Windows 10 laptop, i get the same problem.  Anyone has some idea?  

I have been working with Au for over three years now and have had virtually no issues with voice recording blog posts, doing overlays w voice and music, creating multitracks, etc. I have a Avantone mic, which has the versatility I need to get the basics done on pretty much any project I will be working on. I am having a problem using my avantone in stereo, (dome?) format. I have researched how to dial my mic, my scarlett solo, etc... for this project and tried many combinations to make sure it wasn’t an issue with the mic or any other part of my setup. I want to capture the sound of singing bowls that have deeper and stronger resonances and I am pretty sure the issue stems from Auditions presets, but I don’t want to overmanipulate or create issues where they aren’t. When testing, I always speak into the mic and can hear every nuance. The thing is, I can’t capture the slightest sound from the very loud bowls. Anyone have any advice on what I need to adjust? Thanks in advance.

I own Audition CS5.5.  In launching it I get a message stating my serial is already activated on 2 other devices.  Most likely due to when I upgraded my computer and did not deactivate it.  Called Adobe support, they said there is nothing they can do.  The activation servers have been deprecated.  Adobe support recommended I post to the forums for a possible solution.  Are you aware of a work around for my issue?  

I have been trying to download the enhanced audio but nothing happens when I press download. Is anyone else facing this issue?
