Audition itself changes the parameters in the audio session

Hi guys. When I insert any audio in the session, it is always going strong loss of quality. Even if I am writing the voice of 22 HZ and 16 be, then create a session on 22 HZ - 16-bit, it still changes the voice for the worse! The same is true with any audio, music. Tried to Audiosity, there are no such problems, but I want to work with Audition.

It is interesting that when you work only with the audio file, without creating a session, then there are no such problems.

    How are you recording then listening to the original files from your microphone?

    I ask because a 22kHz sampling rate (if that's what you mean when you say "22HZ") will indeed produce inferior audio.  44.1 kHz is what is generally considered the "standard" for full range recording.

    If you're listening to the direct output of the microphone or somehow listening to your signal before it's converted to 22kHz than that's why it would sound better.

    I have to ask why you're standardising on this sample rate?  It's far from being standard other than for things like telephone answer machines.  For CD, your files have to be 44.1kHz Stereo--but if file size is the issue, then converting to MP3 after you're finishing the production would be more normal.

    In what format are you saving the files? If you save them in a compressed format, such as MP3, then yes they will degenerate. If you want no noticeable degeneration you should be saving them in a relatively 'standard' format such as 44.1k 16-bit wav files.

    The same thing applies with the format of any session you set up. Ideally it should be at the same rate as the files you are placing into it, otherwise they'll have to be converted to open in the session.

    Thank you for your response! I work only .wav format. I'll tell you in more detail. When I write on the microphone, the quality of phenomenal. Next, I create a session with the same settings as when recording microphone. And now, at the stage when I insert a recorded voice Audition changes the quality of the worst. Although the session settings and the recorded voices are the same!

    Certainly a strange situation .... because I'm doing it as a textbook.
