Glitched audio when using Batch Process

Hi, I'm using the latest version of Audition and this bug has finally got on my nerves enough to actually post about it.

In some cases when using batch process and using a custom favorite chain (with specific first-party and third-party VST3 plugins), the audio file comes out damaged, like some parts of other audio files in the batch list get pasted into the opened audio file, in random spots. This is not a common thing to happen and happens very rarely but it is too big of a bug to ignore, as I have to then constantly check if all files were processed successfully without glitches and is really a time waster when you get to more than 50 files. Please fix this as this problem has been present since I started using Audition CC (CC2021, or maybe even older), so it's been going on for too long!

It's a rare thing to happen but still worthy of posting.

Currently using Audition CC v24.6 (Build 24.6.0.69) on Apple M2 Max, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

PLEASE ADOBE! look into this one!!! problematic for years, the external SSD solution doesn't consistently work either. you have to triple check everything that has been batch processed. between this and multitrack barely being able to reliably chase video, it just makes it really hard to have a good workflow

this is still an issue on the latest build and it is maddening. Please please put some effort into audition and solve this issue!

I have the exact same problem. Really bad and frustrating. I've lost hours of work because of this already, initially thinking it was a problem I caused. Turns out it's a software issue.

This has been mentioned before. One of the issues with batch processing, and indeed any processing that happens in waveform view, is that it involves the use of temp files. Quite often, if the temp file location is in the 'default' location, it's sharing that space - and that can cause accesss issues. What many people have found is that if you relocate your Audition temp file location to a non-shared space with good access, the apparent problems magically disappear. It's not guaranteed, but you have to try this first. So what do you really need for a good temp file? The ideal is for it to be on a drive of its own, and a fast one at that. So if you get yourself an external USB SSD, you should be good to go. The advantage of these drives is that they are quick, so access speed is good. The other thing you could try, especially when processing is complex, is to limit the number of concurrent file processes allowed. Processing might take slightly longer, but it will inevitably be less error-prone. You can access the setting in Edit>Preferences>Data - third item. Mine on this laptop is set to 2 - no problems.

The chances are that this isn't a bug - it's about optimising settings.

Hey Stege, thanks for your input. I'll try your suggestions as they are very specific! I hope that this will solve it for now, thank you!

I've been having the exact same problem, except more prevalent, happens to 1-10% of files when batch processing. This has been a problem for the last few years and just assumed it was a problem they would fix eventually, but even on the most recent version of Audition it is happened, if not more now, than before. For reference, looks like below:
I have now changed the concurrent file processes to 2, but wanted to ask about the advice on setting audition temp files to a "non-shared space", where do I find the temp files, and are you suggesting I need to purchase a whole other external SSD just for adobe audition temp files?
