I am recording audio for a class project (I am doing a podcast pilot) and because of COVID my friend are recording are audio seperately. We talk over discord and both record our ends of the conversation. She sent me her audio (that she recorded on her laptop in adobe audition) and I want to open it on my laptop in Adobe Audition so I can put it in the interview slot (because she is the one I am interviewing). She sent me the audio but every time I download it and try to open it Adobe tells me the links are "offline" does anyone know why/ a better way for us to do this? I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks so much!

I don't know exactly how you're trying to do this, but the one thing you must do before using a file from any cloud storage at all is to download it and use a local copy in your session. If you don't, then it only takes the slightest glitch at the wrong moment (like when you're opening the session, or when the access slows down, which it regularly does) to render the file offline. Sounds like that's what is happening here.

My friend is emailing me the audio exported it as an adobe audition file and then I downloaded it however when I do it just downloads straight to my computer and then when I hit open adobe audition opens and the new file appears and everything is said to be offline. Should she send it to me as an mp3 file? I need to edit both her and my audio and she wasn't sure if she sent to me as an MP3 if I would be able too.

 

Just a side note, I am not using cloud storage. At least I don't think I am (I am not very tech-savvy) but I am using a mac and my friend is using a PC. Also, how do I make a local copy session? I just started using adobe for my project so I know very little about the platform. I really appreciate any help.
