Audition

There is a crucial need for a grid in multitrack. This is not exlusively a music feature, but a basic one for any type of audio production nowadays.

Why did you exclude the MIDI channels! Audition was a step closer to become a DAW! It has so much potential!

Audition should be able to import MIDI files into the multitrack function. Without MIDI it's of very limited use to me as a songwriter.

I would love the ability to tap the tempo on the mouse or keyboard and get the metronome and everything else about the song to follow that bpm.

I edit hundreds of hours of audio for podcasts, narration, audiobooks, etc. I like to increase playback but it would be great to do that without the voice chipmunking so bad. On some voices, particularly female voices that are high, that pushes sibilance so high that it almost hurts to listen to. If I watch a youtube video on 1.5, they do not sound like a chipunk.

It would be helpful to be able to get the tracknames, trackorder and length as cleartext when creating an album. Also more options to define pauses and trackmarkers like CD-Architect.

The media browser is great for previewing your media before using them. but for sound designers who have thousands of files, hearing all of them to find the best sound is time-consuming and hard! most of these files are named and tagged, so adding a search field in the media browser will help find the desired SFX way much faster, also sometimes these sounds are short and sometimes they are very long with a lot of silence gaps, so adding a seek control and a preview of the waveform will help make browsing faster and more efficient.

When moving multiple clips with snapping enabled, clips may get out of sync with each other. Bug has been replicated by other users as seen here:https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2499063#

Adobe, create a Linux version of Audition,please!

I can add a loop marker, but since it's not a sustain loop marker written in smpl chunk, other software such as Sound Forge, Kontakt, or Wwise does not recognize the wave file's loop information. I'd want a loop marker to be an sustain loop marker by default, or please at least add an option to convert it into a sustain loop marker.

Currently, it's still easier to edit VO for a podcast in Premiere as you don't have to select a bunch of clips to move a simple edit. It would be great to include ripple edit and rolling edit.

When I edit my audio in multitrack I cutout everything but good takes. Then I copy them to a new track and ripple delete the gaps in between the remaining good takes. As I do this, it starts to take longer for each ripple delete gap. Relaunching Audition fixes the problem for about 15-20 deletes, then it starts to get exponentially longer for the delete to occur.

When I do a ripple delete in the multitrack view, it would be nice if the time selection tool jumped back about 1 second and autoplayed to allow me to hear the edit i just made. This would be very handy for removing a a lot of vocal fillers from a section on speech.I don't like the current process of making a cut, clicking back, then pressing the space bar to listen back to my cut. It may seem trivial but when you have to remove something like 30 "ummms" in a minute, this is would save a good amount of time and wear on my hands.

Is there a way to replace a file in the multitrack editor, for example a watermarked music track with the licensed music track?I work with a lot of temporary music and clients need to hear a "mixed" video before they can approve it. It would help immensely to be able to right click and do something like "Replace with clip from Bin" to keep all the keyframes, effects, etc.

Often I'm editing tutorials with many cuts that need a quick fade in/out at the top and bottom of each clip to avoid discontinuity pops. I would love to be able to apply a fade in/out to each one by a variable number of milliseconds and shape to speed up my audio editing. At the moment I can make a custom keyboard shortcut for the fade in and a separate one for the fade out, but you can't adjust the amount of time the fade takes, so it's always too long of a fade and I have to adjust it manually anyway, so it's not much of a shortcut.

Live waveforms for clip gain adjustment is great for balancing purposes. But they are pre any track effects / subsequent bus effects.Be great to see a representation in the master track of a waveform showing how the export will appear. Help to catch and soften any peaks - spot any mis-panning etc by eye from the overall timeline.

Very simple: an option to have Audition in multitrack mode behave such that soloing a track will temporarily unmute it. As it stands, soloing a muted track does nothing at all, right? Why not have it actually solo the track instead? It's a pain in the butt having to unmute, solo, listen to it, unsolo it, then mute it again....a hundred times a day. This simple option would save a lot of time.

Real Ambisonic file creation and Ambisonic mixing support

I know this might have been a fairly esoteric feature back in the Audition 3 days, but I'd like to have the Spectral Pan and Frequency displays back. They were quite useful for surgical editing of the stereo image. I don't imagine they would be that hard to re-implement.

I sometimes have one or more tracks that I want to keep fairly tall all the time so I can see their audio in more detail, while other tracks can usually stay as small (vertically) as possible. But when I do need to zoom those small ones and then zoom them all the way back out, my tall ones also get zoomed out. If I could lock them, I'd be much happier.A variation on this idea would be zooming proportionally when some tracks have been individually zoomed, so the small ones get bigger and the big ones get even bigger. When you zoom back out, the small ones go to smallest possible and the tall ones go back to where the heights that were previously set.

Premiere Pro has an excellent method of relinking media files. If media isn't present in its last known place, it provides a window that tells you all the files that are missing and its last known location. Audition only informs you that there is X number of files missing, and when you relink, it gives you one file to relink at a time, with no information where Audition thinks its last location is. Additionally, Premiere Pro will automatically find remaining files based on the last location of the relinked file. Adobe Audition does not. Having this additional functionality would be extremely helpful, especially if your workflow makes it challenging to collect all files into a session due to space limitations.

JKL is pretty familiar to anyone who uses Audition regularly. If you edit podcasts, you know how crucial this can be for the purposes of saving time. The problem is, much like the terrible means of searching for silence in Audition (for the purposes of dialogue editing, anyway), it’s far too rigid and playback sounds incredibly unnatural. Right now, I have my shuttle increases set to half speed, which gives me a roughly 1.3X playback. I’d like to use a higher speed, but anything greater than that is useless for spoken word. They’re chipmunks and you can’t understand anything. Pro Tools gives you the option to perfectly set playback speed to your preference since it allows you to enter an exact percentage. This is immensely helpful. And there should also be a toggle for how the pitch of the output changes. I mean, every single podcast and audiobook player can do this, but some of the best implementations are Overcast and Libby (and even Audible), both of which do a good job of allowing

Sometimes I need the click track from the metronome to be exported together with the audio for the client's need (usually a choreographer or music video director).My current solution is to use cables and route output to input on my audio interface to record to another track but this is waaay too cumbersome. A simple checkbox on the export dialog would greatly speed up my workflow.This checkbox could even appear only if you have the metronome toggled on and unmuted.I attached an image as an example of how it could be.

One things really missing in Audition is an effect similar to Izotope's De-Rustle that removes clothing rubbing sounds when recording with lav mics. This is a recurring issue if you look at search results on Google so might be a great addition to Audition.

I have a podcast template with 6 voice tracks, a dialog bus, SFX / music tracks and a final mix/check bus before master. I have 1-2 VST effects on each of these. Mixing down a 2 hour podcast episode will easily take an hour on a pretty decent machine - with 15% CPU utilization. I realize this is complex, but couldn't the mixdown process be modularized to take advantage of multiple CPUs in the system, and thus probably reduce the mixdown time greatly?
