Question

How to Fix weird File Naming Scheme

I'm recording a voice over on the Multitrack Editor. When you record a clip Audition will name it

Track 1_001. And the last number will increase everytime you make a new clip. It's simple and makes sense.

 

But when I reach the 5th recording, once I do a 6th, Audition suddenly names it to

Track 1_001_1  instead of Track 1_006.

 

Even weirder is if I later rename the file and its peak data file to 006, when I record a new clip in Audition it'll still name the new file to 001_1. I just want the filename to increase by 1 like it does for the first 5 recordings. File management is a pain now since the 001_1 and up files get pushed above the older recordings in my folder. And I have to keep manually renaming them to keep them all organized. I looked around everywhere but is there a way to fix this in the settings?

I only notice that this happens if you close the session and return to it to record more audio. If the session stays open, the numbering works.

Different for me. When I stopped recording and did a session the next day the numbering continued just fine until I reached the 5th recording. I just tried a new session as a test and did multiple recordings without closing audition. But it still does the same file naming bug when I finish the 5th recording and try to do a 6th.
