Audition Forcing 192Kbps Bit Rate on Multitrack Mixdown export regardless of settings.

Question

Hey all!

I'm using Adobe Audition 12.1.3.10 for Mac. I've got a multitrack file that I'm trying to export. I used to never have any issues with exporting. But, now I'm about to rip out my hair.

Whenever I attempt to export the Multitrack Mixdown to MP3, it doesn't export at the bit rate I select in Format Settings. I change the track to "Mono" and change the bit rate settings to 80, 63, 56 or even 320 (I've tried all three just to see what happens).

However, whenever the file is done exporting, the file-size is double what it should be. When I examine the file, regardless of which bit rate I choose, the file exports at 192kbps.

Even when I export the file at 92kbps in stereo, it comes out as 192kbps. Is there some setting I need to fix? What am I missing?! GAH!

It's a known bug - it's already been reported. See this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/Audition/Audition-CC-MultiTrack-Mixdown-doesn-t-save-bitrate-in-MP3/td-p/9580088

I just tested this on my Adobe Audition 12.1.13.10 and couldn't replicate this issue. I used the settings from your screen shot.

If this is working for you the workaround to try would be Multitrack > Mixdown Session to New File > Entire Session and then the File > Save As... dialogue from waveform view. Check to see if this creates the same issue for you or find if it works this way.
