Audition

Using the Spot Healing Brush Tool tends to leave holes that are quieter than the surrounding audio, which is rarely what we'd want. The only time the tool truly works well is if you've recorded audio in a perfect environment with no audible noise floor. That's not how the real world typically works, though.Just to visualize what I mean, try this:- Effects > Generate > Noise and Apply- Use the Spot Healing Brush Tool above the 1.5k range- notice that you're leaving holes of quietness behind wherever you paintIt would be incredible if the algorithm paid more attention to the amplitude of surrounding audio and didn't leave such noticeable visible/audible gaps behind!The current workaround is to use the Paintbrush Selection Tool with a low opacity (50) and use Auto Heal instead. But that's an extra step that I wouldn't have to do if the Spot Healing Brush Tool was enhanced.

Coming from an NLE background we are well used to ‘add transitions‘ to a bunch of edits (including ‘match frame/split/add’ edits).Why? Among many other reasons:1. To smooth removal of sections (eg umms, coughs, non-speaking sections of iso mics)2. To smooth transitions between levels of clip gain (eg to compensate for off mic sections )So it’s definitely a very useful thing to be able to do.IMO Avid media composer does it best with ‘add transitions in to out’ (in to out = time selection) with a dialogue that offers duration of transition, and position (ends at cut/centred/starts at cut and custom).

I'm so disappointed by Adobe Audition. Simply stretching the file is about to take 3 hours, even though the iMac Pro has 64GB of RAM, 8 cores, 16 threads and still it uses 9% of the resources.Can't wait to switch to another product that is ahead with the time...

I have snapping turn on, and snapping to markers turned on. It just doesn't work. Screen grab of my multitrack session attached.

I use Audition CC (currently on 11.0.2.2) with an Audient ID14, and I work as a voiceover artist.I nearly always record straight to the single track, not multitrack, waveform viewer. For my studio setup, I need my Audio Channel Mapping screen to be set to:1 [L] (Mono) Analogue 22 [R] Analogue 1Whenever I unplug and replug my audio interface, or power-cycle my computer, these settings reset to the default of: 1 [L] (Mono) Analogue 12 [R] Analogue 2Audition should save that setting in it's Settings folder when you close down Audition. However it appears that it doesn't. Confirmed this occurs on latest version of Audition (v12) as well in the forum:https://forums.adobe.com/message/10689121#10689121

When applying effects to audio or generating noises, Audition can take 30 minutes or more to do its processing. Rather than being required to manually check whether Audition is done processing, it would be wonderful if Audition would play a quick notification sound when the processing finished. This feature would allow me to work in another program while Audition is busy processing until I hear the notification alerting me to the fact that I can go back to working in Audition again.

I would like to have the option to toggle the visibility of the Waveform Editor Grid. This feature was available in legacy versions of Audition.

When applying "Match Clip Loudness", I would like to set it by time segments. I often have audio clips that I need to correct that have seconds or minutes of very quiet audio, followed by seconds or minutes of very loud audio. The only way I can figure to do this now is by cutting up the audio to different tracks or files, apply "Match Clip Loudness" and then merge them back together. It would be nice if you could simply select part of the audio, tell it to match loudness, then select another portion and do it again.

The Remix function in Audition is nice I just wish there was more control. Perhaps a way to easily isolate specific sections you want to remix instead of the whole track.And maybe make it easier to lengthen without being forced to stretch it. I mean it's okay how it is, but it's also really frustrating.

Maintain previous settings from Format Settings in Multitrack mixdown

In premiere, I insert room tone between voiceover bytes in order to smooth out the voiceover and make the edits sound natural. (this is a common practice in industry). I crossfade these chunks of roomtone over a duration of 2 or 3 frames. This is very easy to do quickly in Premiere, selecting all of the transitions and using the keyboard shortcut. However, these crossfades change when I bring the sequence over to Audition for the soundmix. (I'm sending it over from Premiere via Edit -> Edit sequence in Audition). The crossfades become fade-outs that bump up against each other. Obviously this is not ideal, and I have to go through and adjust them one-by-one over the duration of the entire film.See attached screenshot: the top track is how they get translated in Audition, and the bottom track is how they should appear.Note: This has not been an issue in the past. This has always been a part of my workflow and just recently started happening. Not sure if the problem is in Audition or P

We spend a lot of time ducking audio when working with interviews. It would be great to have auto ducking with dialogue and not just against music. The bleed into one interview mic and the other is usually not too bad... I bet Adobe Sense could figure this out cleanly.

I am editing podcasts and it's great to have markers and even be able to export them to use with tools like Forecast.app to make chapters in the final M4A or MP3 file.The problem is, I have to add the intro and outro after editing the whole episode. Ofcourse then, all the markers are off by however much I insert in the beginning.I have yet to find a way to make all the markers move that far (and made myself a script to export, add or remove those minutes/seconds from teh markers, and import the new markers).I think moving all markers by a certain amount should be default possible in Audition.Thanks 💪.

i would like to see presets from mike russell

It's infuriating switching between the two programs and having to mentally switch between using 'C' in Premiere and 'R' in Audition. They do the same thing, so they should use the same shortcut.

I'd to be able to designate areas where I plan to perform future tasks. I want to be able to save notes in my timeline at specific time segments so I don't forget my ideas. Being able to block off these areas would help me to better keep track of my thoughts at the time without having to write external notes.

The new Punch & Roll feature is great. However, there is one tweak that needs to happen, soon. You shouldn't have to "fade-in" a clip in multitrack to make the "punch-in" transition smooth. The automatic crossfade should work like it did before in multitrack. You also shouldn't have to go back and smooth over punch & roll sections in the waveform editor. For long form narration, this adds editing time which PnR was designed to reduce.

I come from a Nuendo background and there we had the option to increase/decrease the clip gain by +/- 1 dB with a keycommand (or with a Hardware controller).we have the "clip gain" command but that only brings up the clip preferences up and puts the cursor at the numeric value.. so, still al lot mouse or numeric keypad hassle for a simple level adjustment..

First you should make it compatible once again with the 32 Bit plugins, and also make it compatible with Slates plugins, like VMR and the VMS

It would be great to be able to use Waveform Editor as a source monitor like in Premiere Pro. Basic functionality is there already, (you can insert selection into a multitrack session) but the interface could be more intuitive to use. Easiest way to implement this would be allowing Audition to have both Editors in separate panels so they could be stacked side by side. Ability to drag and drop a selected portion of the clip from a Waveform Editor to Multitrack Editor would be much faster and more intuitive than just blindly copying stuff from one editor to another. I would also like to be able to do some destructive changes to my audio (like a quick noise reduction process) without ever leaving the multitrack view. Jumping between two different views is extremely distracting and counter-intuitive especially when you're dealing with a huge amount of tracks in Multitrack Editor. Having both editors open side by side would be a much better option in my opinion.

can't see a thing

After Effects has an knob in the Composition panel that is labelled "Adjust Exposure (affects view only)." This knob allows you to adjust the exposure to see what's going on better without affecting the final product at all.I would like a near identical feature inside Audition for the amplitude of a Spectral Waveform view.I work on a lot of quiet audio and it can be very hard to see. We don't dynamically compress audio until the end of our workflow in Premiere. Being able to visualize at a higher (or lower) amplitude would be incredible on the eyes

The cross fade option while mix-pasting is great, but i would love to be able to set it to crossfade just the top or just the tail (or both like it is now) depending on the situation.Example...I want to mix-paste something, but want it to cross fade at the start of the paste, and be a straight cut style paste at the end of it.I will try to explain better if that didn't make sense.
