Question

Adobe Audition- I can see the wave lengths but not audio plays

Hello,

 

i've been editing an audio file and I was randomly told by the program that I needed to save and restart due to playback issues. I had no other choice so I saved and restarted it. Now after opening it again my file has wave lengths but the spectral frequency display shows me nothing as well as the timer will run but the levels will not register.

Looks as though Audition has a valid peak file for your audio, but the associated audio itself is missing. The peak file is only there to display a picture - it doesn't prove that there's an actual recorded waveform there at all.

I have a similar issue where I was editing an audiobook and when I did a "save as" to create version 8 of the edits on Friday, Audition said it ran out of space and to try to re-save using "save as" which I did and it appeared to save but I just loaded the project and the waveform is there but no sound nor any spectral frequency display. 

 

I have the original audio clip and loaded it in the multitrack view and it loaded the audio and spectral frequency display and it is at least still there in the original file.  Any way to have it 're-scan' like I used to in a different audio program?

The same thing happened with my podcast's first episode! It asked me to "save as" then when I reopened it. It's muted with visible waveforms but no spectral frequency display. The sound bar won't move. Only the first 5 seconds and the last 2 seconds have sounds. I am so exhausted trying to release this podcast, and this happened
