Audition

I have a song (background tracks only (no vocals)) that I'd love to have in a lower key. It's for a production and the singers need it in a lower key as its just out of their comfortable range. Is there any way to do this easily using Audition that will leave the song sounding good and not hopefully not like it was digitally altered?  Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get CD track markers to convert to CD tracks in Audition CS6. For years I've used Audition 3 and was able to put CD track markers into an audio file in Edit view, and then right click on the file, select "Insert into CD List" and have a complete list show up in the CD view. From there I could select "Write CD" and create a disc. Now, with Audition CS6 I'm able to put in the CD track markers, and can even see them in the markers list as CD track markers, but when I go to the CD Editor view only the entire audio file appears. So I was wondering how I get the markers to appear in the CD Editor view in the same way they would show up in the CD view in Audition 3. I'm hoping someone has an answer to this as I haven't been able to find anything about it in the help files or on these forums. Thanks.

I'm currently trying to record my first song with CS6. I used Cool edit before and people have told me that AA's way better.However I have many questoins regarding recording effects. Here are my questions.1. How to use Auto-tune in CS6? 2. How to lower the pitch of one instrumental without changing much of its quality?  I'd like to lower the pitch, record my voice, then increase the pitch of my voice to where the instrumental was originally. (I am trying to remix a song with Chris Brown on the hook so it is killing me)3. What is the normal procedure of improving the vocal effects after recording? Like some kind of effect that makes your voice sound professional. (I usually make rap songs and sing sometimes, so what are the effects we should use?)Pardon me if my questions are too simple. English is not my 1st language and I don't really understand all the terminologies in CS6.Thanks guys.

I have been using Audtion for almost 10 years.  I have installed Audition on a new desktop.  The message appears:  "The audio input is not activated.  Recording audio is not possible.  Check your audio input configuration."  I have configured the audio from the control panel.  A test reveals that it is picking up on the audio input.  In Audition when I open the equipment set up, it does not recognize any inputs at all.  Do I just need another type of sound card?  Help.

Hi,I wan't just to know how can I remove the music and leave only the voice, with Adobe Audition Cs6Please.

I purchased Adobe Audition 3.0 a couple of months back for my Windows 7 laptop and overall I enjoy it. When it works, it works great. However, I have encountered a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error" at least three time which prevents me from being able to continue with a session. The latest occurence seems to have been triggered by my machine going into sleep mode. I have the laptop set to never go into sleep mode while open because if it does while I have a session up, the playback glitches when I come back to resume the session, BUT, a relative saw my open laptop and thought I accidentally left it open and closed it. Sure enough, the playback went wonky so I saved the session and closed it out. When I re-opened the session and pressed play in multi-track view I got the runtime error message and the program shut down. I can't continue using Audition if I can't fix this problem. Please help!System details: Custom HP, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Intel Core i3-330M Dual Core process

Hi there,Will CS6 allow users to have tempo changes in sessions?  This is a very common feature that has been missing in Audition but is offered by ever other DAW out there.Cheers.

This is a pesky one.  I recently upgraded from Audition CS5.5 to Audition 6 and uninstalled CS5.5.  Since I did that, however, the .sesx file association in my computer has been lost.  When I try to reassign .sesx to Audition, the computer defaults to Adobe Acrobat to attempt to open an .sesx file, even when I specifically navigate to the Audition folder and indicate Audition as the default program to open .sesx.I realize the first and most obvious step is to simply reinstall Audition CS6, but there were difficulties activating the software.  I was upgrading just Audition out of the entire Creative Suite CS5.5 package, as it was the only software I NEEDED to upgrade (for some reason Audition CS5.5 caused me nothing but problems, but CS6 is infinitely more stable on my system, and none of the other CS6 software had features that justified a $500 upgrade).  So I had to contact support and they had to give me a support code and all of these hoops had to be jumped

Peak files - ones with .pk and .pkf extensions - are files that Audition creates upon first opening an audio file, and they contain information about the way it's displayed on the screen. After you've worked on a file, saving the peak data as well as the file means that the next time Audition opens it, it can do so a lot faster - simply because it doesn't have to create all that visual data again.By default, Audition saves peak files automatically for wav files, but it can't create them for other types. The reason for this is that it doesn't need them for those file types, as they can't be opened natively in Audition anyway; they have to be decoded into wav files first.The difference between older .pk files and newer .pkf files (the ones that Audition CS5.5 uses) is that the .pkf ones contain Floating Point data. This means that unlike .pk files, they can display information about files where the signal exceeds 0dB. This means that if you do a mixdown where the levels are rather hot, y

I am trying to save a .wav file as an mp3. file.  When I go to Save As and click on file type/Mp3, it asks me if I want to overwrite the current .wav file.  When I say yes, it saves it as a .wav file.  How do get it to save as a .mp3 file?  I'm certain that there is an easy way to do this, but I'm missing it.  Any help from this knowledgeable forum would be most appreciated.thanksdk

Hi,I'm a complete newbie to Audition in general. CS6 is my first look at it. I'm trying to lower the pitch of a clip (like making a voice deeper). However the only thing I can find is the "Automcatic Pitch Correction" effect and the "Raise Pitch"/"Lower Pitch" in the favourites menu. When applying the "Raise Pitch"/"Lower Pitch" from favourites it says "Applying Stretch and Pitch..." in the dialog box. I can't find these options anywhere. I am certain I am missing something, I just don't know what, and google hasn't been much help.Any help much appreciated!-Andrew

Hi, the title pretty much says it all.I am working on a tune in audition CS6, however I am aware that audition is not intended for music production, but I already have the beat, bass line and melody laid down in a multi-track session, now I have download a few audio samples and acapellas that I want to use on my tune but do not know how to go about matching the tempo so that my audio sample fits like a glove over my original tune.Please help.

Good morning Audition fans.As promised, I wanted to share the news and state of Adobe Audition as well as answer your questions about the new release and what the future holds.  First, Adobe announced the release of CS 5.5 Monday morning to coincide with our presence at the NAB convention in Las Vegas, NV.  Among the updates to the other applications in the Production Premium suite, the big news from my perspective was the inclusion of Audition into the Production Premium and Master Collection suites.  Soundbooth, the previous audio tool offered in the Suite, has been discontinued.Next, a little bit of history:  Adobe purchased Syntrillium 8 years ago in order to provide an audio solution to their video and broadcast production users.  At the time, Premiere Pro was a Windows-only NLE and Cool Edit, now Audition, was a great fit in the original Video Suite.  However, as Adobe recognized the value in the Suite model for users and the bottom-line, the other a

Good news, everyone!I'm very excited to share the news that Production Premium CS6 will be revealed at NAB next week, but even better, I get to share details about Audition CS6 with everyone right away.  More detailed information about some of the new features will be released on the Audition Inside Sound blog this week, but I'l be happy to discuss specifics about the new features on this message thread.Here's a quick list of the new features and functionality:Audition CS6 Highlights:Real-time and rendered clip stretching in multi-track - including new “varispeed” modeClip Grouping – Including suspend, trimming, & stretching of groupsVST3 support (Mac and Win) and more effectsNew pitch correction/manipulation toolsAutomatic speech alignment toolRed Book Audio CD burningHardware controllers support - Including native Avid EUCON and Mackie MCU supportWrite/Touch/Latch automation modesMedia browser with file previewSession Templates and EnhancementsExpanded file format support (N

Please do not mistake this thread for a dupe of the other thread of a similar topic, I'd like to give a more in depth opinion of the new version of Audition compared to its predecessor.For the past five years I have spent many hours of most days experimenting with audio, specifically audio restoration. I tried countless other applications before discovering Audition and none could offer what I was looking for. When I did discover Audition (version 3), about 3 years ago, it is one of the very few pieces of software I have since installed on every computer I use. It was extremely easy to use whilst having an incredible array of functions. The help manual was extremely comprehensive, giving detailed instructions and explanation of every single option in Audition, this alone I thought deserves praise. The program constantly delighted me; it seemed tailored to the needs of someone who would be using it to its full potential. I was constantly discovering new levels of potential that Audition

I work mostly with video and I enjoy using AA for the audio portion. It's a bit of a pain though with no direct AC3 support. Can we have this?

Hey I have never had this problem before with all earlier versions of Adobe Audition. I just bought CS5.5 and tried to load the Waves plug ins I always use and they do not all load into the program. Some do load in, but unfortunatly not the ones I use most often. Any Ideas?

As you are no doubt aware: >ANNOUNCEMENT: Forums will be unavailable for planned system maintenance starting at 3pm PST on April 3, 2009. New forums will be online on Monday April 6, 2009. Will the last person to leave please turn out the lights? And if you want to go somewhere to get your questions answered where you can also do useful things like post screenshots and files, etc then you are more than welcome at AudioMasters where we might get the odd blown fuse, but at least we can mend them...

I am trying to import some .mp3 songs into Audition.When I use the shortcut import button, nothing happens.When I'm in multitrack view, I use- Insert>Audio.- I highlight the track I want to import- In the "Show File Information" box it says "Raw PCM or Unsupported Format".- I click open- A box comes up sayingCould not open file:blah blah blah.mp3The selected file does not appear to be a supported file type.To attempt to open this file and interpret it as audio data, select PCMRaw Data as the File Type, enter an asterik (*) in the File Name field and click Open to display all files.Any ideas about how to fix this so I can import these .mp3 files into Audition?

Well its done!AATranslator is finally finished.http://www.aatranslator.com.au/ is where you will find it.Its been 3 months in the making and as I mentioned previously its not donationware but it is a fully functional demo only limitation is the number of tracks and 'clips'.Many thanks to John Lundsten from  the UK for the idea of this project, for his tireless efforts testing the application and for his insight as well as the user guide.  Thanks also to Adrian Connelly for additional programming efforts and the interface and also dstDean from this forum for additional testing and encouragement. Those who have supported me in the past (as at the time of this post) through donating for any of my previous applications are entitled to $50usd off the price for every application they have donated to me in the past.  For some that equals a free copy!  Never let it be said that I don't appreciate your support!This application is not for everyone but certainly for anyone who

hi is there any information about AA4, for when and the new fonctionnalities ?

Okay,So I have a couple videos with some cool music in the background, and I like listening to it. However, they are blocked by background noise and dialogue in the video. I've been searching for a pretty long while on how to get rid of the background noise and the voices. I've learned that this is in fact very possible, and that Adobe Audition comes highly recommended for doing this task. Before I go downloading any program to my computer, I'd like to know how to do this. Which format should the video file be under (wmv, avi...etc) or if it should just be an Mp3. Please help.And Thanks in Advance,ThePirateMajesty

I am trying to record sound that is playing on my system using Audition 3.0.1 on Windows 7 x64.  I have Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card with latest driver 2.18.0011.  In Audition, I have set audio hardware setup to "Audition 3.0 Windows Sound" and default input to "What U Hear"--which is proper setup to record sound playing on my system.  But when I click the record button, I get an error message titled "Adobe Default Windows Sound Driver" error code FF9-5-0044 [8878000a] "device could not be opened".  And then Audition only records silence.  I've tried using the Sound Recorder program that comes with Windows 7 x64 and that records fine.  But Audition won't record any sound.  Any ideas?  Can this be fixed?

Hi all, I am new to this forum. I have been using Audition 3 for the last couple of years and these days I have to coop with an extra difficult situation, which is; I have more than 2000 files that start and finish with a random length of silence, it varies 0 to 7 sec. My question is, how can I set the silent duration at the beginning and end of each file to a constant amount of 2 sec by using batch process? Kind regards,Pavlos

Anyone know of a good effect to make a voice sound slightly computerized/robotic?  Not to completely change the voice, but just to add a computerized/robotic vibe or accent to it.  Can this be done with default effects in Audition 3 or are there any good plugins for this?
