Audition sessions being corrupted while editing

Question

Hi,

We are a news and music station that recently upgraded to Audition CC. Traditionally, because of the way our reporters edit in multiple locations/studios, we have edited audio directly from a network drive. Since upgrading, we have had multiple sessions become corrupted while the reporter is editing - unfortunately sometimes not to their knowledge until they have saved, or had not saved prior work, so all is lost.

Is this a known issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, this is known about, and has been happening for years. TBH, I'm not entirely sure why it happens so much, but it's been reported by quite a few users, almost invariably in Multitrack view. The cure is delightfully simple; download all the material you want to use onto a local drive, and edit it from that, and also save the results to it. Then, when you're done, transfer the finished file back and let the network handle the handshaking, as it would for any other file transfer. I think that the crux of the issue is that when the mixdown is created, Audition wants to write it direct to file, as it does with all recording in that mode. And if the network handling doesn't handshake at exactly the rate Audition presents the data, then corruption is likely to occur.
