Audition

Hey everyone! I've been using Audition as part of my job for a total of around 11 months. I use it for editing voice recordings and then re-formatting them into various formats. HAd barely any issues with this until today... Every time I've tried to convert into an a-law format (8kHz 8 bit) I get a load of background noise, but only if I close the file I was working on and then open it again. If I listen through straight after converting then it sounds fine. I've never had this problem before , and know to expect a little bit of noise from the downsampling but this is a lot more noticable than normal. I don't get it when converting to similar formats, I've tried 8kHz 8 bit wavs, u-law (8kHz 8 bit) and various sample rate mp3s and all other formats are fine, just a-law with the problem. Anyone got any suggestions as to what's going on or how to fix it? I've tried adding a gate before downsampling to make sure there's no background noise between sentences before reformatting bu

Recording starts when I press the red button, but no sound levels show and nothing is there when I play it back. I'm just trying to get this to work with my laptop's microphone right now so there's nothing else plugged in. I was able to record fine this morning but suddenly I can't. I haven't manually run any software updates since then. I did just use a website that was asking me for permission to use my microphone, and since then I can't record. Don't know if that's related but thought I'd mention it. I've tried restarting my computer to try and clear any weirdness that might have created, hasn't helped. 

Hello All I've recently updated to the latest Audition version, but I've noticed my gridlines in Frequency Analysis are barely visible against the black background.  Before I believe they were a lighter grey but are now only a vary faint grey.  I was wondering if there was any way to adjust these preferences?    Thanks! 

I'm editing a program for my local radio station. I am working with a .aiff file and when I edit this file in the waveform editor, the speaker sounds perfect and the gaps between his sentences are absolutely silent. But, when I bring this .aiff file into the multitrack editor, all of a sudden there are these hisses in the gaps where there was only silence in the waveform editor. How can I remove the hissing when I edit in the multitrack editor? Is the hissing created in the multitrack editor?

Hi Adobe folks! If I use the stretching and pitching effect to change a voice it is way to obvious, because of the chipmunk style or the deep voice style thats occuring with its change. I still don't how everyone sells this effect on youtube as a voice changer. It sounds horrible!Maybe somone else does how an idea to make a voice higher and reducing the chipmunk effect. Or are there other tools I can use to adjust a voices? cheers  

Hi, when I export my Audition-projekt (which I used to sync different audio-clips), the export does not exactly match my project. Here I have attached an example to illustrate the problem.Above you can see the project track, below the (reimported) export.  I would appreciate any help. By the way: the original recording was made in 44.100 Hz the export is in 48.000 HZ

I'm trying to open a movie session that was created in CC. I don't have CC anymore but still have a copy of CS6. The audio loads fine but plays back slow as if it's been dropped in pitch slightly. Is this normal? Are the file not reverse compatible? Help?!

I've used Sony Sound Forge Pro for many years to do all of my audio editing. Today was my first time trying the Premiere Pro to Audition workflow as it looks really appealing in the demos I watched. When I opened my .prproj file in Audition, I got this interesting warning message,"Warning: Bezier keyframes were converted to linear keyframes."Huh. And sure enough, where I had added volume Bezier keyframes in PP I now have linear keyframes in Audition. After some searching it looks like Audition doesn't HAVE Bezier handles for it's keyframes. Weird - since almost all Adobe products that have envelopes utilize Bezier handles. I like to have very precise control over audio, which does NOT describe the result of "Spline curves" LOL. Can anybody from Adobe reply with insight on Bezier handles in Audition?Thanks,- DK

Hello Everyone.I was watching a 2018 Audition Tutorial on when you stack  Two Audio on top of each other, you can Right-Click and Choose to Send Clip to Front/Back. Also, The Tutorial Explains Inside Multitrack, there Is Play Overlapped Portions of Clips. But I don't see that under Multitrack.Thanks.

Is there a way to change the size of the font used in the Audition timelines?I'm not a senior citizen or have eyesight issues, but the reading the font on the timeline requires a little effort.

I can open Audition and edit, but clicking the "Play" button doesn't start playing the file, either in waveform or multitrack. Help?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to step through visible panels in Audition?

Hi! So, very basic situation: I have a couple of voice tracks routed to a bus track. I would like to add some reverb on the bus and use pre-render because I can't get smooth playback without pre-rendering. Seems that pre-rendering is only available on the basic audio tracks and not on bus tracks, am I right? Is it possible to pre-render effects on bus tracks? Or is this a "feature"? Audition build / version 22.5.0.51 Thank you in advance for your help!

When I try to delete certain frequencies using the spectral editing tool, all the other audio disappears as well. I've seen this method demonstrated in a number of videos, and as far as I can tell, I'm doing it correctly. If I play the selected are before hitting delete, all I hear are the selected frequencies, so I assumed that's what I'd be deleting. After hitting delete, the selected area goes gray and the rest of the clip looks normal...but I hear no audio. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! 

When I have loaded the effects to the effects rack, they will not work, even though they are turned one.  There is no difference in the sound of the track with the effects turned on or off.   I have never had this problem.  Am I doing something wrong?  The effect do not work if I use preload effects for the effect rack or create my own effect setting (custom).   [Personal email address redacted - Adobe policy - Mod]

I was recently part of a recorded in-person interview where each of us had our own mics.  We were just in a conference room, with no ability to create an environment that would have been better for the recording, unfortunately. As a result, each single microphone was able to pick up some amount of the other speakers.  To make matters worse, one of the recording devices was set to record at 48 Hz instead of 44.1, and so after resampling that one track keeps phasing in and out of alignment with the other two.  My question is, can Audition line these tracks up for me so that I don't have to go through the entire file and duck the tracks individually?  

I'm using Adobe Audition on a 32" UHD display on Windows 11.  I have Windows scaling set to 150%, otherwise, everything is much too small.  AA scales just fine, except for one annoying characteristic.  When I move the playhead around with the arrow keys, it jumps back and forth between wide and narrow with each press of a left/right arrow - wide, narrow, wide, narrow... I can solve the problem by setting the AA Windows shortcut properties to ignore system scaling, and this works, but then some UI elements in AA are smaller than they should be. It's not a dealbreaker, but does anyone know of a better solution?

Keyframes no longer work in last AA update but still function in Beta

My spectral editor used to default to 200-20k hertz with staggered zoom so I could see more detail in the lowest frequencies. I don't hear lower frequencies well, but my high frequency hearing is very good. I really need to be able to see the whole range but more detail in the low end. How do I set it back to that? Things I'ved triedZooming out all the way takes it to about 0-21kZooming in 1 tick on my mouse wheel takes it to about 600-16kZooming in and clicking "Zoom Reset" takes me back to 0-21kReseting my workspace to the saved layout has no effect on the zoom levelZooming in and setting 200 at the bottom, then hovering over the top and zooming out will only get me to 200-6k before it drops to only showing 0, 500, 1k on the low end, then topping at 11k the 3 digit indicators drop off entirelyIn all cases, the lower frequencies are compressed into a much smaller space than they were yesterday

Hi Everyone, I usually edit my podcasts in Audition and have the auto-save and backup settings turned on (in addition to my own manual saving habits between sections), but my PC crashed after I finished my project, and when I try to reopen the .sesx file through any means, I get an error: Error: Media Foundation reported an error when opening the file.The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported.  All of my saving and backups are done locally so I haven't been able to determine why it lists an unsupported URL, and my audition is the current update (22.5). Also, when I reviewed my backup folder to see if I can pull up a previous version, it looks like it hasn't made a backup in 5 days even though I have the settings for every 15 minutes.  I did some digging but I couldn't locate anything identical to this and I'm pretty sure I might just be out of luck on this one. Has anyone run into this one in the past?

Hi all! Having a strange audio issue with Audition CC. It started a couple days ago. When I try to record voiceover, I get distortion like this: https://youtu.be/D-taVDR-FB0  It'll go away if I restart the program or I change the audio hardware/buffer size, but then it'll start right back up again. I've tried upping the buffer size to 1024, I've updated all my drivers, reinstalled the drivers for the pre-amp, but nothing seems to fix it. It gets really frustrating when I record 15/20 minutes of material and then find out it's all unusable.  If it matters, I'm using a Lexicon Omega pre-amp and a Rode NT1-A mic.  Any thoughts on how to fix this or what might be going on?

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to insert a 0.5 second clip of background noise into a multitrack session. I started by opening up a 0.5 second gap in all the tracks. Next, I positioned the playback head (don't remember what it's traditionally called) at the start of the gap. Finally, I tried to insert the file which had the background noise...in multiple ways, every one of which failed. In that nothing appeared to be inserted anywhere. What I finally ended up doing was creating a dummy track, dragging the WAV file onto the track, highlighting a 0.5 second section of it, cut it, switched to the track where I wanted to insert it and clicked paste. Which seems more than slightly ridiculous. Surely there's a better/easier way? Oddly, a web search turned up nothing useful. Yes, there were some links...most of which were complaints or warnings about files being inserted at the beginning of tracks, the end of tracks, basically anywhere but where the playhe

Adobe Audition triggers the center button on my MX Master Mouse which toggles the scroll wheel to clicky mode.Mac M1 macOS Monterey 12.4Adobe Audition Build 22.5.0.51Logitech MX Master 2S Its bugged me for the longest time that it would seemingly randomly switch to the clickety ratchety scroll wheel thingy on my MX Master Mouse, but I upgraded and the same thing is happening with the new mouse. I started keeping track of when it would do it. Its anytime I open Audition or click within a Audition window. I can click outside to another program, and it switches back to normal. Go back to Audition, and ratcheted scroll wheel immediately. Super frustrating. I've given up and just use a trackpad and my tourbox, which is unfortunate cause i have some cool shortcuts assigned on the MX mouse Is there a way to fix this?

System:Mac OS Monterey Adobe Version:22.5 I recently notificed a lot of my disk space missing. Upon further investigation I discovered that the Audition Log-last.txt is taking up 13.5GB of space and growing. Previously, I saw it get as large as 102GB.The Log itself is just filled with the following repeating lines:Ticks = 77943098 <511109> <NSURLSessionHTTPProcessor> <4> Request completed with error, requestID: "803d7cf3-6c01-4f0b-a630-dfda05770622", status: 0, duration: "0", error: -1000, description: "Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1000 \"bad URL\" UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=22, NSUnderlyingError=0x6000004a9740 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1000 \"(null)\" UserInfo={_NSURLErrorNWPathKey=satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0, ipv4, dns, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=22, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask <BDC64216-A594-4A7B-BE43-23328E58B482>.<12651441>, _NSURLError

I am working on a project in adobe audition and want to split my workstation horizontally with the video on top taking up around 30% of my screen and the multi track section taking up 70% of my screen below. Once I have set this up and press play on my project the video automatically adjusts in size (usually expands) rather than staying locked at the size I set it up at. Is there a way of locking this so I don't have to keep adjusting it after or during playback? The expanding video consequently causes the multi track to be significantly reduced in size which I don't want. Thanks
