Mac AUD2024: Completely screws up metadata using Batch Process with Export checked

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.

@Adolfo H.  I don't have a video for it, it should be easily reproduceable. It doesn't matter what favorite you use, nor does it happen when you Batch without the Export option on and manually save them. It's only when you select the Export option does it pull the random old metadata from seemingly random old audio files.

 

Multiple Mac OSs, Audition copies, and two different computers. Monterery and Sequoia. 2018 Mac Mini Intel and 2021 MacBook Pro Apple Silicon. The only commonality is that I had done Migration Assistant on it to pull my settings from my Mac Mini.

 

I have no idea where it's pulling/holding that information, because on the MBP I reproduced it, and it pulled Metadata from an audio file that NEVER existed/exists on that machine. Like I said in another thread, I work in IT / Tech Support myself so I've already troubleshot this extensively.

 

Toastbrot1706 in the reddit post I did here also is dealing with it, so that confirms it's not just me: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeAudition/comments/1jcybqy/comment/mpgsj3m/
