Exports have phasing issues

I've been using these programs for AGES and never had this happen.  In Audition CC 2017 when I open a certain session--the first time I hit play everything is all messed up and out of phase.  Hit stop/play again--everythings fine.  Its only the first time I hit play so not a biggie.  What is a problem is that when I export the track it has the same weird phasing problems.  It kind of reminds me of the way something would sound in mono that wasn't very mono compatible however you can tell its not exporting in mono because right/left have visibly different content.  I really haven't included any new plugins since my last successful export and totally stumped on this.
