Audition

I was going through some voice recordings to mix them down from stereo to mono to save space, but they end up larger. For example a 36.6 meg file ended up 48.4 megs. No changes were made (sample Hz, etc.) along the way: Just open, mix down, and save. Spock would say, "it doesn't seem logical."  What's up?

Problem:I have been having this issue for several months now, and up until today a reinstall of the DAC software and a reboot seemed to fix the issue AS LONG AS I did not open up another app that plays audio (youtube, FB, Spotify, etc) while audition is currently open.Back story: my DAC is a Scarlett Solo v2. I have the most up to date drivers, and I'm running Audition on a windows 10 machine. I use the DAC to record audio from a mic that I use to make acapella covers. Sometimes, I like to pull up the original song / other covers for some inspiration, but this is where the problems start. If I go straight to another application after a reboot (audition not opened yet), Spotify/Youtube/etc. work without a problem. But the second i open up Audition I experience an issue with the external applications as follows:the audio will still play, but it has a repetitive stutter to the audio. In fact, it seems that the longer i keep the audio playing, the time between the stutters slowly increases

I cannot believe using Audition should be this difficult.  Thousands of people use Audition to create Podcasts. I have been at this for hours with no success,I just cannot believe this program is this big an pain in the butt.But now it's worse.My initial sound test worked fine.  Then I did something--I genuinely no idea what--and now all my recordings have an echo. It's as if I am recording on two microphones.I went into Windows to make sure I was recording on the Rode mic and not the internal mic.  I was.I went into Audition to make sure my input was, again, the Rode mic. It was.Short of rebooting, I have redone every step and the echo is still there.Any help on this issue?  I cannot  believe I am the only person who has encountered this problem.Thanks in advance to anyone or ones who can solve this mystery.

Hi everyone,I need to set a favourite to perform a fading envelope effect, to be applied to the last 2 seconds of the audio files to be processed.I tried recording the favorite by selecting the last 2 seconds of the file I was using at the time, but the program in this way saves exactly the time point of the audio selection.When you try to apply the favorite on an audio file with different duration, the favorite goes to apply the fading effect at the same time point, and does not set it by matching the end of the selection with the end of the audio file.So my question is this:Is there a way (a particular command or something else) to register the favorite so that it applies a certain effect on a time selection of fixed duration and whose end point is coincident with the end of the audio file?I hope I have explained myself clearly, and I thank in advance those who were able to help me

Mastering an audiobook, and have several versions as I climbed the learning curve.  I wanted to be able to compare versions, side-by-side, so created a multitrack into which I inserted original, edited, and processed, as well as a track for fixes.  This was working beautifully -- choosing the best file, applying some minor Dynamics and evening out the levels -- having re-recorded bits at hand if needed, making great progress.  I saved every five minutes and clicked YES to copying media into the session folder.  all was well until I left it to save all and copy all files into the session folder.  This morning, the computer was frozen -- had to force quit.  When I re-opened the project, all the segmented layout is there, and Audition repopulated each clip, but when I went to resume editing, every file -- regardless of its position or label -- plays back the same file, chapter 3. I have tried different versions of the back-up, all the same problem. I tried re

Hi there guys.I had 5 actors with 5 different lapel mics.Recorded them all, now I got .wav files with multi tracks in it.When open in audition, I see them with multi tracks.Is there an easy way to low or mute the volume on one track to avoid overlapping ?What I mean is, for example two actors talking together with two different mics, is there an easy way in audition to get the right audio from each track in the multi session?Complicated ...

This has been the most annoying error I have ever come across, it seems like no one else has this problem.I record my audio with Adobe Audition and video with Nvidia ShadowPlay.Inside audition, the audio waveform looks normal but at certain parts plays this 0dB thudding/screech it's not constant, but when exported it shows up as constant inside of Premiere, not for the whole clip, but for lets say 5 seconds, its like someone touching the end of an aux cord over and over, a kind of high pitch thud.There is absolutely nothing that would indicate to why it happens at the certain parts that it does, it appears completely random.Sometimes when trying to play the audio in Audition at those parts it will freeze and tell me a reading/writing error has occurred, all my drives have more than enough space so it's not a low space issue.The weirdest part to me is that Audition/Premiere don't play those certain parts, but VLC media player can play a bit more.Let's say i was counting from 1 to 10Audi

Using Audition CC, I can configure the Audio Hardware settings for my Blue Yeti USB mic, but no audio is recorded. This setup worked fine in previous versions of Audition. The current setup also works in Audacity and other software that requires audio input.Help?!?

Attached is a screenshot of some of the same spoken dialogue from an audiobook. The top one is my recording, where the waveform is smaller. The bottom is from the actual audiobook, where the waves are longer. Both are 44100, 16 bit, -3db peak. Both even sound the same, volume-wise. Just curious as to what the difference is.Thanks in advance.

Hey everybody, I'm dealing with a rough one (for me).My tracks suddenly have a ton of baked-in noise when recording. Even when the mixer is turned off but I just have the USB plugged in, if I record like that there is still the exact same noise profile. It's a thin ringing frequency at (it seems) 3k Hz, accompanied by consistent noise across the rest of the spectrum. I did soooo much troubleshooting to finally figure it out, but I think I got to the source of the problem: the USB Audio CODEC that the microphone registers as. I finally pared it down to that by using a USB port extender, since the microphone registers each extended USB port under a unique identity, and only the default identity had noise.SO (under Preferences > Audio Hardware): Mixer plugged into laptop USB port = "Default Input: Microphone (USB Audio CODEC)"Mixer plugged into extender port 1, plugged into into laptop USB port = "Default Input: Microphone (1- USB Audio CODEC)"Mixer plugged into extender port 2, plugge

This just started happening today and I've been using the program for months. Whenever I cut, delete or silence a section, a small artifact appears at the edge of my selection. It won't stop doing it and I can't get rid of it as it appears every time I edit it out. I've read about a previous similar situation regarding artifacts and editing and have adjusted the preferences:data to 0ms crossfade to compensate. No change. I've restarted the computer, re-installed the program and it continues to have this issue which now makes it impossible for me to do my work. Has anyone encountered this before. I wonder if it might be a memory issue as my system disk needs to be upgraded due to a decided lack of space, but I've redirected all memory, disk cache and storage to be located on another drive. Really getting frustrated with this. I'm running a Predator Helios 300 with 24G of RAM and about 11G of free space on the system drive. I am using Audition CC 2019. I've enclosed a screenshot of the r

I've had Audio (as part of the complete Adobe subscription) for a while but my usage till now has been limited, and then only to single tracks. Now I have a project that's been handed to me that is over my head, but it's a question of learning by doing.I must edit and mix 5 opera arias with orchestra and voice  and originally each aria has 27 tracks with strings, brass, etc etc. I'm not so hare-brained that I think I can handle 27 tracks but I've reduced it toVoice - 2 tracksDecca (all) 3 tracks L, C, RFar L & RWide L & R9 tracks.Don't worry, BTW, this is not for Columbia Records. But I need a basic way to do this.OK here's the question. The editing/cut  I can handle. But how do I assign the L & R tracks to the proper stereo placement when I am ready to ask Audition to put the whole thing together. I've tried to pluck this concept out of the Handbook PDF but I'm not making any progress.Any help for me? My work is generally in graphics or "single-track" audio, but

I am using CC. I will be working on a file and it seems fine. Then all of a sudden it won't play. I press the spacebar and nothing happens, or I click play and nothing happens. It just starts flipping back and forth highlighting some buttons.  But no matter what I do, I have to shut down Audition and re-open everyone all over again. I just upgraded to CC 2019 - however this was happening in 2018 too.

Anyone have Audition 3 pitch down your session audio?I'm having this issue now.  Sample rates match between the session (44k) and the audio (44k) so don't know what's going on.

Hey the Adobe Audition software (3.0) was working fine, had a power outage & with all appearing to be back to normal, was surprised that we now can't hear audio within the AA software.   We can hear all desired audio if we play thru Windows media, but NOT when we try to play using the AA software.  Is there possibly something in settings i need to check?   Any suggestions please?

Hi,I've created a podcast in Adobe Audition CC 2018 and it's ready to go. However the podcast itself finishes after 13 minutes, but the clip continues to run until 18 minutes. I don't want all of that dead space at the end I just want a neat 13-minute podcast.How do I trim the clip down and get rid of the extra space? Thanks,Alice

Previous recordings have come out sounding fine, my most recent one is a mess. I've thrown on a Vocaroo link to a clip of the afflicted audio. I'm thinking it's a sample rate problem but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience with a similar sounding issue, and is this audio salvageable? It's fine if it's not, but I really want to know what the problem is so I can avoid it in future.Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!https://vocaroo.com/i/s06kUm9iokss

I am now getting a can't write to disk error in audition on my work computer (PC CC2015) and my personal lap top (PC CC2019). So there is not a chance this a hardware problem. 

Hi everyone! I'm an Audition newbie! I recorded a conversation on my phone for my podcast and got the MP3, then edited out parts I didn't want on Audition. When I hit save, I got the warning that it's being saved to a compressed (lossy) format. The First time, I hit ok, and the audio that was saved was nearly unusable.So now I've re-edited it, and I can't figure out how to save it without ruining it. Any help would be amazing, thank you in advance!

I always run Audition on two screens, probably due to a failure on my side the keyboard panel and other audition messages appear on my second screen instead of the first. Can't find the solution in the preferences or on this forum, does anybody know the solution? Thanks for reading and answering! Regards, René

Greetings,I need to purchase a compatible Adobe Audition audio interface that will allow me to do some audio routing.What I'm am trying to do is, use the buss sends to send my audio signal to some outboard gear I have (i.e.analog EQs, etc.) then I need to be able to route the signal back into Audition for monitoring/recording. As a result I will need the audio interface to have a fast connection, perhaps like firewire.Any suggestions?Dylan

I've tried bouncing the final mixdown on multiple sessions now and they all end up missing the entire beginning of the song. Is this a bug? The mix that's there soundsperfectly fine except for the long gap of silence in the beginning. I had the trial and recently purchased the product thinking it might be a limitation of bouncing mixdownswithin the trial version.

So they said that there wouldn't be midi for the Studiolive 32 series 3 mixer, but there is a midi through network setting and now the midi controls....the issue is everytime I run Audition the mixer freezes. Anyone else having this issue?

An audio friend of mine re-found svhs adat tapes with original recordings of his own shows in the nineties. They synchronized three adats machines to make a 24 track recording possible. I only have one adat machine and an eight-channel analog/digital (adat/spdif) interface and which brings these eight tracks separated in real-time to audition perfectly. So I could do this copy action in three parts in a row to get the 24 tracks into one multitrack session. My question is how do I get these three tapes 100% synchronized into one Adobe Audition Multitrack session? How is the copying/synchronizing of the timecode or any other sync code done? Where/how can I read (about) this?. Does anyone has some experience with this? Thanks for reading and answering. Regards, René
