Questions

I'm just finishing up a podcast, which has six tracks in Audition 13.0.13.46.  I'm editing on an old iMac -- mid-2011 which has topped out at High Sierra Version 10.13.6.  This has caused numerous crashes, but uintil I can afford a new computer, this is the best I can do.  I did the mix last night, and have now attempted to do a Mixdown to a New File for export and publishing.   The process aborts with this ominous red alert:   I have been backing up the session with all files on an external drive, so can backtrack if necessary (this did not happen on previous mixdowns).  But obviously, it would help to know what can trigger this scary alert. Any thoughts? THANK YOU!   Incidentally, we are planning a future episode on how technology is increasingly "incompatible" with Baby Boomers like me, and we're seeking input from experts and hapless laypeople as well.  Please let me know at ron@ourgenpod.com if yo

I am making some language-learning recordings and I would like to insert a fixed amount of silence, say 10 seconds for example, between phrases in the recording. Is there a way for audition to recognize pauses between each phrase and change them all to the 10 second pause setting? Thanks!

I upgraded my iMac from a 2012 base model to a new M1 iMac.  I reinstalled Audition and now most of my 3rd party VST and VST3 plugins won't show up.  I have checked and re-checked all the pathways and still can't seem to resolve the issue.  Also, my VST3 are now showing as AU...and not working properly. The VST3 plug-ins are installed on my new iMac, but they will NOT register in the plug-in scan as VST3 on Adobe Audition.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong. David O.

Hey,I have made a big mistake while putting ambiences throughout a 1,5 hour film. I added the surround ambience-poly files to a surround track and just used the 5.1 track panner to get the sound from each speaker.. It sounded OK using headphones with waves nx, but now when i have a calibrated 5.1 studio its just a mess. Comb filtering everywhere! Not a shocker, I suspect Audition is putting all 5 tracks, merged together in all 5 speakers. I can see in the clip properties on the source channel routing everything is where it should, but still i do not get all the mono files out of the separate speakers. What am i doing wrong here? I assume the worst, that I will have to re-add all the ambience into separate channels for L R C Ls Rs, but is there a way to "split track into mono files" in the multitrack view? Like when holding ALT before dropping a poly file, it splits the file into mono tracks. But is there a way to do this with already dropped clips on the timeline?

I played the audio in VLC i can hear left and right headphones with the voice but in audition left side of the headphone I can only hear voice... how can I fix this. I think this is audio mapping problem. I check wave form only the center of 5.1 have the voice audio...

I want to delete silences in a long audio file (>4h). It works perfect as long I select less than 20 min. As soon as I select more than 20 min the "cleaned" parts are messed up. Here is a short video to demonstrate my problem:

Even leaving comments is frustrating. What does "Enter a Body" and a Bunny icon mean in a text field. I had a simple project, cut up a long audio track, save the project (with assets), and then burn chapters to DVD or multiple CDs.Got soo close.Burning this to CD results in Chapter 5 first every time.The arrow next to name flips the order of displayed tracks but not the order that they ar burned in.I used to know how to use Audition, and Cool Edit 2000 before Adobe bought it.After a dozen DVDs and CDs, I'm going to use Audacity. 

I've digitized a number of old LPs, which have audible clicks throughout many of the songs.  How much reservation one should use when using the Auto Click Remover tool?  Is it a bad idea to select the each entire track and apply the Auto Click Remover, or does the Auto Click Remover often have to sacrifice a bit of sound quality, effecting parts of the track that are not clicks?  I know, if I can't tell it doesn't matter, but I'm just wondering, technically, if this is how it works?  Thank you for your help!

Looking to normalise an hour long wav in Audition 2021, before using a 'hard limit' on it, and then publishing. The unprocessed / original audio is recorded around -5db.I seem to get the best / most 'normalisation' when I normalise to a low percentage, but this then lowers the volume considerably before I boost it again with the hard limit. Is this too much processing? Is it too detrimental to the audio? Am I better going with less normalisation and letting the hard limiter do all the work?I don't have a pro audio monitoring set up at the moment so it's hard to tell just using my ears. Earlier versions of Audition didn't give me the option of lowering the percentage of normalisation, it just did an arbitery amount from what I could tell, so it hasn't been such an issue in the past.All help is greatly appreciated. 

Hello Everyone.By default when I Click on Space-Bar, It dose Toggle-Playback. I want to change it to Pause only, but I cant. It seems like you can not change it.I would like to assign the Pause to Sapce, rather than Control+Shift + SpaceThanks.

Hello all, Does anyone know of a way to cut and paste audio file text info from Audition into a word processing docuemnt, like Microsoft Word? It would save me so much time if I could someone cut and paste file names and time duration without having to go through and do it manually.   Many thanks! 

Audition CC on Mac will not access all input hardwareRunning AA CC on my iMac, the program will not allow me to access 2 separate USB inputs. One a USB mic and the other a USB external soundcard, both of which  work perfectly well with other software. I am attempting to record one track in multitrack with one device and a secong track simultaneously with the other USB  input device. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I shift my attention to another DAW.I am coming over to AA CC on a Mac where both USB inputs are active in system prefs from a windows PC using Adobe Audition 3 where this is as normal and easy as breathing.

Hi,I have some old .ses files from an earlier project I did in 2005. Now when I try to open them in Audition CS6, I only get an error saying: "We were unable to open this file using any of the currently available importers. It is either corrupt or using an unsupported format."I have checked the option in Media & Disk Cache saying: "Enable DLMS Format Support", but it doesn't help.I'm not sure what version of Audition I used back then.Is there any way I can solve this?

I've been producing audiobooks for Audible for 3+ years now.Mostly, I don't get a chance to listen back to what customers are hearing through the audible app, but just recently I had to check a production to make sure a change had gone live. I was quite shocked by the audio quality - or rather lack of! I already knew that audio is down-sampled by Audible for streaming and was given to understand this was 64kbps @22050 Hz . I always check my finished audio at this rate to make sure it sounds OK. Here's an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pjFmCfS4234eijvzMFsWveaPQmKSt18w/view?usp=sharing Here's the same passage, stream recorded from Audible's web-based app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k5ZmZ_4_DMS_MOtDlwHoztg3WEGjPLNP/view?usp=sharing My main concern are the high-frequency artifacts in the audible stream... I'm not quite sure how to describe them but it's like a gated hiss that corresponds to the speech. I'm fairly sure this is a result of audio

I'm editing a podcast and it was just captured with a mic near the laptop speakers in order to pick up both audio. Now I notice there is a lot of audio clipping from the person in the audio call. Is there a way to get the edge off so it doesn't clip so hard without disturbing the audio too much? In the audio file (.m4a) itself the peaks that clip arent touching the upper and lower part. So I think it's compressed and just baked in. 

So I went into Favorites > Normalize to -0.1 thinkng it would make the audio lower but instead it blasted it all the way up. Hitting "undo" did not undo that. How can I go back to the original levels of the clip?

Hey,I have a problemI must have clicked something and I don't know how to get rid of itbut now in the editor I cant click and select anything on the track,  my mouse pointer looks like uhhh two gd dam walls with a hyphen inside and it's crossed out with red as I am not able to select and drag clips on trackI want to have my mouse pointer back again in adobe audition so I can do something with the clips on the tracks

Hello;I accidentally deleted the radio announcer or voiceover preset  from the Effects Rack in Audition. How can I replace it. Audition 13.0.11  Thank you Francisco 

Hello, Audition Friends. When I export my session, nothing shows up in the folder I try to save it to; external hard drive or same laptop. Along the exporting process, a window pops up and says that one or more file types are unknown? This doesn't happen with any new or old sessions. They export just fine.  Adobe suppport has been unable to help me after a lengthy time on chat. I senior support person can't get back to me til after the weekend. Thanks for any ideas! Or even a suggestion on other work arounds.  

Hey guys I'm fairly new to Adobe Audition and am having problems with the mixer panel. When I use the mixer and click on one of the tracks to write, it doesn't edit anything. After moving the fader to edit and playing the track back from the beginning, the fader doesn't move to show the edits I tried making and no key frames are added. I'm really confused why this is happening and tried looking up a solution online but haven't found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I keep getting an error message when I try to quite Audition that, "One or More Files Are Actively Pursuing Jobs. Please Cancel these jobs or Wait for them to finish."Where do I find these jobs? How do I cancel them? I tried googling this on my own but have not found anything.

When I have my audio clip imported into Audition, I am able to highlight a small section and capture the noise floor by right clicking (only sometimes). However even if this has been successful, when I go to capture the noise floor for the dehiss process, I am able to click the 'capture sound floor' button but it times out within miliseconds and just doesn't bother capturing anything. What can I do? Thanks

I have a large number of VST and VST3 plug ins and since my recent Audition upgrades they are no longer loading in my effects. I have tried rescanning, removing the search folders in Audio Plug in manager, but to no avail! Interestingly there are TWO VSTs that do show up as can be seen in the attached image. As an example, many of the AU plugs seen here have VST or VST3 versions which do not appear in the scan.Am I missing something?

Lately something has been driving me crazy. I'm recording a long audio book. And I'll look over and see the wave form has turned into a squared-off solid rectangle instead of the obvious normal wave forms. I stop the recording and listen to what happened. And it just started recording some horrible electonic static for some reason. There is no corresponding noise in my computer anywhere, and certainly nothing in the room or anywhere else. Has anyone else had this happen? I'd sure love to figure out and prevent this. I neglected to take a screen pic of it. But next time it happens, I'll add it.

Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut for "Lock in Time" rather than checking the box in Clip Properties?I'm sure I used to have one in a previous incarnation...?
