OK so this is an old issue that dates back. Mixing down a track only to find the final wav 3db lower than the source files.

Preferences > Multitrack > Panning mode > change from -3db centre to Left/Right Cut

That used to fix the issue on old versions of Audition. Now with CC 2018, even when I do that, I'm still getting -3db mixdowns.

so, anyone have the answer for CC 2018?

Thanks for your time, as ever.

We need a bit more info about your session. Is it Mono or Stereo, are the Clips used in it Mono or Stereo and where are they panned? They are routed directly to the Master output? What sort of audio material are you mixing? You can always compensate by just lifting the Master fader by 3dB. It is set to '0' isn't it?

Stereo Session with Stereo tracks / clips.

Routed directly to master yeah

Just simple stereo music tracks. If I lift the master to +3db aren't I essentially "amplifying"? Isn't that the same as taking the final mixdown and chucking +3db on it? Surely not ideal?

It should work as before. However once you change it you have to close Audition and reopen it for the setting to take.

Thank you, but my mixdowns still end up 3db quieter, no matter what i do with that setting.
