Audition crashing often after last update to 14.0

It now often freezes during playback or recording, if I use a shortcut key, (like a -10db favorite) or change anything on the file while it's running.  It used to handle this fine, but since the update, I've had problems.

Well... if it's a PC, then I don't think that you are alone with this - but at the same time, I have to say that I've experienced this with other software too. one other thing it correlates directly with is Microsoft updating Windows 10 quite significantly. Whatever it is that's causing this, it appears to achieve something of a disconnect between Audition and the outside world. Couple of things to note, though: I have far less trouble with it on the system where everything is functionally separated out onto individual drives - so the temp files have a drive of their own, and no audio is ever saved on the root drive. Also, it's worth doing a google search for 'optimising your computer for audio' - this will lead you to quite a few changes that taken collectively, will definitely streamline your machine's performance.

 

If you want to delve further into it, then you will need something like ProcMon - but that's quite hard to interpret.

 

If this is happening with a Mac, then Audition will start to look a little more like a potential culprit...
