Question

Automatic Pitch Correction Effect erased everything

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this issue has already been solved but I am kinda new to Adobe Audition and I think I just encountered a bug while using the Automatic Pitch Correction Effect.
Just after I edited a voice recording, I selected one of the clips to correct a small clipping artefact using the Automatic Pitch Correction Effect with a 5px width. After I was happy with my result, I came back on the multitrack panel to listen to my edit one last time before exporting as a wav file.
However, I noticed that my export was empty, and when I came back on my session, it appeared that almost everything in every single ones of my clips had been erased, except a really small frequency band between 18kHz and 20kHz.

Luckily, I was able to find a backup session to recover my work.
Has everyone ever encountered such an issue or has any idea why would that happen ? Is it just a bug or did I do something wrong ? 

Thanks in advance for your help, I hope everything was easy to understand as English is not my native language. 

EDIT : unfortunately, I decided to close and reopen my session to see if it would solve the problem. I therefore lost my session's history and can't see exactly where it went wrong.

    It's almost bound to be something you did, but it's not altogether clear what that is...

    Is it even possible to accidentaly erase every single frequency from 20Hz to 18kHz in a dozens of clips at the same time while using this tool that only allows me to process one clip at a time ?

    Thing is, we still can't tell. For instance, you say that you exported the result. Was this from Multitrack view? What we'd need was the exact steps you took, because there are several options for pretty much everything you did. For instance, when you said 'I edited a voice recording' - where did you do the edit? Multitrack or Waveform view? Without the exact steps, it's really hard to tell what's going on.
