    This is still happening with Audition 2021 v14.1, running on Cataline 10.15.7. Also when I import media they are showing as offline. Linking is not working either...

    Unfortunately I run into the same problem. But now on a Mac (OS Catalina 10.15.7), Audition 13.0.11.38.

     

    What happens is that a multitrack session can't be saved. The path for the session to be saved on exists. I've tried several which work fine for all other applications.

     

    I can save it as another file, but when I try to edit that file, it shows Apple's infamous 'Beachball of Death'. In the bottom left corner Audition states 'Calculating Playback'.

     

     

    I've tried both the standard template that I use (for a Rodecaster Pro) and creating a session without a template.

    The template is saved in the standard folder (Creative Cloud/Audition/Templates).

    I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing Audition, but I keep getting the same problem. It means no recording can be used for editing.

    For me that is saddest part, in that situation I have to restart the Adobe Audition and my work that is not saved will be gone forever.

    Didn't it tell you what the problem was? Without that information, we are clueless...

    No, that was the only message I got when I tried to save the session. Also when I went into the folder (C Drive) where I wanted to save the project, the was a folder with the same name of the project I wanted to create (example: started Audition, went to file, new multitrack session. Popup window to name the project and location. When I went to file save or save as, I got the message "Audition encountered a problem trying to perform the operation".) That was it. I'm clueless too.

    A quick workaround: When I go (file, new, multitrack session), if I choose one of the templates (example: Film Sequence Stereo) it will let me save the project, however the sample rate, bit depth and master settings are grayed out. I usually work with a 48000 sample rate in stereo and 24 bits is ok as well. If I choose "none" for the template, I will get the error when trying to save the multitrack project. I won't be able to save the project if I choose "none" and want different settings like mono and different sample rates/bit depth. Perhaps trying to create my own custom template? I will look into this, but if anyone has any ideas, they will be appreciated.
