Audition

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 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 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. 

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? 

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.

Audition 24.*.*windows 64 bit. Every time i click on of off a file it loads a new set of markers for the project. one for the timeline then ones for the file selected.This is, I believe causeing some issues, and after some time the software starts to lock up, show fonts weirdly and not even print the menu text on screen. Until it locks up fully and crashes. ( iusually save and quit now before this happens - every 15-40 minutes)Can we get a toggle to turn of file markers and only display timeline ones. Please?I do not need markers on indvdual files. It's really effecting my workflow.  

I’m going through and updating some of my Favorites for better naming and identification/order. However, unless I’m blind there is seemingly no way to do so. I’m going into Favorites > Edit Favorites.Someone please tell me I’m missing something, because if not it’s absolutely crazy there’s no way to do this.

Hi,I've had this problem for three weeks now and I don't have a clue how to solve it (my Google fu probably isn't strong enough). This is the situation:1. I open audition and press the record button. In the 'New Audio File' I click on 'OK' and the recording starts. But the audio is a flat line...there's no waveform, nothing. And of course, if I play the recorded sound there is no sound. But the recording does start without problems.2. If I enter the 'Audio Hardware...' in Preferences it says the Default Input is the 'Built-In Microphone' and 'Built-in Output' for the output. The Master-clock is at 'Built-in Output', I/O at 512 Samples and Sample Rate at 44100Hz.3. If I connect our 2i2 Scarlett USB with a condenser microphone, it's the same. So I first pick the 2i2 under the Default Input and the 'Built-in Output' under output. Still a flat line and no audio.4. If I open the new macOS app 'Voice Memos' and hit the record button, the program does record audio and I can play it back as no

Audition spectral frequency and pitch seem to be pretty bad at identifying the  correct octave of low bass guitar notes. The open E on a four string bass guitar is 41 Hz, the lowest G is 49 Hz.  These correspond to E1 and G1 of a piano-based pitch nomenclature (used in the scale of Spectral Pitch view).  But when I analyze a bass guitar part I often see the ‘main’ (most powerful) notes are indicated as E2 and G2 in frequency and pitch spectra, even though, for sure, E1 and G1 are the notes being played on the guitar.  Sometimes the E1 is virtually invisible, even though it is certainly the low open E string being struck. Certainly a bass parts can have a considerable amount of upper harmonics, (eg a Rickenabcker bass using roundwound strings)  but Audition is completely failing to indicate the correct octave of the actual struck note.  I have tried increasing the spectral resolution, even at maximum it’s getting the octave wrong.Is this a known issue?  AI tells me that Audition  spectr

I'm having trouble converting my SESX file to an MP3. I've followed all the steps of a bunch of different videos I've seen and can't seem to get it right. I got to Export then Multitrack Mixdown to select the entire session and it doesnt allow to choose that option. I've seen that it needs to be "master" but when I go to my audio hardware it doesnt show anything that says something like that. Once I was done recording I saved the file and disconnected my aggregate device of my microphones and closed adobe audition. I eventually reopneed the file and haven't gotten it to export as an MP3. I am new to this program and any information or steps that can help me would be very appreciated. 

Enhance Speech on the Adobe Podcast site is amazing. BUT...my enterprise IT rules won’t let us upload audio to that site, so it’s useless to us. Adobe has built that feature into Premier (video editor) but not Audition (audio editor) and that is crazy. Why???

When exporting a multitrack as an OMF file, it cancels out after a while and says “Clip duration is longer than source.” I see several past conversations but no final solve or answer. People in the past said they thought it was stretched clips, but it seems it wasn’t. Does anyone know how to fix this or what’s really causing it? It’s preventing me from exporting to an OMF file. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you so much!-David​​​​​​​

Hello. I am a voice actor who records in mono with 4800 sample rate and a bit depth of 24. Lately I am getting am incessant click-click-clicking on all recordings! A noise reduction takes care of most of it, but I can still hear it at the beginning and end of  pieces of vocals. I’ve tried rebooting my Macbook, rebooting Audition, unplugging and re-plugging all wires, and changing sample and bit rates. Nothing seems to work! I would ne greatly appreciative if someone could help he get rid of this problem. Thanks so much. I’m attaching a screenshot of the spectral Frequency Display so you can see a visual of the problem.  EDIT: I’ve just discovered that the problem DOES NOT HAPPEN when I use my laptop’s built in microphone!! My audio converter is only about a year or so old, the mic is about 6 years old 

I have a .csv listing my marker names, start, duration, cue, and description.The .csv should be able to be imported, but Audition refuses to accept it. So I have a few questions:-Can the markers be imported to a session?-My timeline is BPM, does it have to be a timecode, like 00:00:00? My spreadsheet is BPM such as 15:1.00-What are the columns named? I have seen so many varieties, some with an "end" column some without, etc. Does anyone know the exact column names and which ones we need?-Is there an easier way to make markers in a session? For my current project I would like every quarter beat to have a marker, but doing it by hand seems so unnecessary and time-consuming.

I have created 60 tracks in a single multitrack session. I want to save each track as a separate .aiff file. What is the best, most efficient way to do this? 

Ok, couple months ago, the mandatory computer update happened.  Adobe Audition would not open.  After 3 computer techs, and an online “Answer guy”, and after uninstalling and installing drivers for M Audio 192/6 several times, I can open the program, but I’m not getting any sound out of the normal M Audio settings on the interface.  I can hear whatever I’m inputting, and I can record it, but it comes out in mono.  If I turn the USB/Direct knob off, there is no sound.  If I open a previously recorded session, everything appears normal - everything plays, pannings are there, stereo’d tracks are stereo.  So, no sound unless I turn up the USB/Direct knob, and anything I listen to or record will be mono.  I’ve exhaustingly looked at the Hardware setup, everything looks normal, same for the computer sound and speaker settings - everything looks right.  This is after about 3 years and hundreds of sessions without problems.  Only after the update did all this bs start.

So, I edit audiobooks, and a big part of this is going through the playback and making minor adjustments as it continues to play. I have been using Audition 2017 for years but I recently upgraded to 2024 because 2017 has all sorts of weird bugs that cause it to crash.  Mostly everything is good but for some reason in newer versions they have changed the auto-scroll behaviour, such that if you take any action during playback, it disables auto scroll, and you have to re-enable it by pressing A.  This is infinitely infuriating because it means every time I delete a little space or paste a selection in, the auto scroll pauses and unless I press A every time, the cursor just trails off the end of the screen.  This change is not at all useful and is merely a nuisance.  How can I revert the behaviour to the intuitive way it used to be?  (And if it’s not possible to revert to the old system, can you please add a toggle to the options menu so that it is possible?) Thank you. 

Mac Audition 2024. If I try to use batch process with Export checked, it completely screws up the metadata with some random metadata from files that aren't even open. Doesn't matter if a favorite is selected or not. I don't even know how it's finding that metadata to load. The temp and media cache locations have been completely cleared.
