Questions

I'm doing the final mix of the audio of a premiere project at the moment. I've been mixing the audio by making live volume adjustments, making keyframes on the tracks themselves by using the write function in the mixer. While I'm happy with the mix, some of the audio is clipping, so ideally I'd like to move all the keyframes I've made down a few levels. I've already made some bus tracks to turn the overall volume down, but I'm guessing (I'm fairly new to this kind of mixing so I'm not sure about this) that if a track is clipping, going in the red in an audio track, turning down the bus track it's linked to won't fix the distortion. So that's why I'm wanting to see if I can turn all the keyframes down by the same amount. Is this possible? Thanks

For some reason Global Clip Stretching is not enabled on in Audion 14.4. What am I missing?

Haven't found anything else on this yet. New computer; recently installed new Waves plugins using Waves Central. Unable to scan them in to use - every attempt to open the Audio Plug-in Manager results in freezing the program entirely. Only way out is to quit by ending in Win Task Manager.  System is Win10 Pro. Problem occurs in CC v14.4 (upgraded from 14.2 thinking this would resolve), as well as CS6 on the same machine. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello,I just installed Adobe Audition CC 2021, and also Waves Central. When I try to "Scan For Plugins", it finds the Waves plug-ins, but then freezes.  After hitting "Cancel", it just displays the plugins and says "Not Working" under status. Any ideas on how to fix?

Hi, I compiled multiple clips from the team into one single clip. To ensure the clip volume do not vary much, we have set all clips submission to be 16luf. But when I compile all the clips into one, I noticed some clips tend to be louder/softer than the other and my final audio's luf is different from 16 luf. Normally I will have to look through the waves of the entire track to amend the volume. I know luf measure the average loudness over time. so clip A with really loud and soft audio volume and clip B with constant audio volume can both give me 16 luf. Sometimes when it moves on to the next clip, there can be a sudden boom or the audio is extremely soft. How do I prevent this from happening? i.e. is there another parameter that each team member needs to adjust (besides luf) to so we'd get same volume for all clips?  also, is it an absolute must to normalize all audio? All tutorials I've watched always do but I'm not a huge fan of the results. Thank you very much

Hello All,I've created multiple 100 MP3 song playlists that I listen to on long drives or around the house.I'd like to import my files into Audition so that I can do cross fades between each song and then export each 100 edited song playlist back out to its designated folder as a "100 track playlist with the cross fades" and not one long mixed down MP3 file.Hoping someone in the Audition community can tell me if that's possible.Thanks!Jim

Hello,  I am a research student at Florida Atlantic University and I have been trying to mimic the waveform obtained in the Frequency Analysis plot:  I am able to get the x-axis from the python code that I wrote, but I do not know how to get the dB y-axis.  This is what I actually plot from my python code: I get a positive magnitude when I do a FFT analysis and plot the waveforms.  How is the y-axis value actually calculated?  Is there some kind of normalization that takes place? Any help will be greatly appreciated to help me get a resolution as to the y-axis dB scale.  Thanks! 

My Adobe Audition CC2019 just stopped saving...it doesn't even allow me copy to a new file...the estimated time just keeps increasing...it usually stops at 39%...and then eventually says Code Error

I have a brand new Condenser mic and Interface, which works fine on Win10 PC with Audition, and works with Quicktime and various other software on MAC, apart from Audition. I have been through every tutorial I can find to go through the very simple setup procedure for Audition, but still get nothing. What could be stopping the mic working?

Mac OS 11.3.1. 2020 iMac, 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9, AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GBI'm on the latest release  of Premiere (and Audition), but my problem predates it. I have a project that won't seem to link properly to Audition for editing. When I send it to Audition the session file only plays back one track..the meters seem to move but I hear nothing, The project audio does play in Premiere. I've copied the clips to a new sequence and recreated the audio setup and, and I've tried  importing the sequence into a new project. The problem persists. A project with a similar setup does work as expected in Audition. What am I missing? And, BTW, is it normal for track 1 and the mix track to return to the "touch" state, even after I switch them to read? I hadn't noticed that behavior before. I've attached screen shots from a functional project, and the non-functional one.

I'm recording an audio book and the punch and roll feature in multitrack mode does not seem to allow an option for an automatic crossfade between takes. So if there's any small background noise at all (ex: A/C) the jump from one take to the next is too obvious.  Does punch and roll have a setting where you can automatically set a default cross fade for every take? If not, is there any way to crossfade all takes on the same track? I know how to crossfade on different tracks, but selecting all takes on the same track does not seem to allow me to create a uniform crossfade.  Any help greatly appreciated!

I get an error message in AU about the sample rate of my audio file and it seems that the file quality is being degraded when it is resampled on import. I'm getting weird feedback and echos in AU but when I play the original file in any other program--Audacity, Quicktime, iTunes, it sounds totally fine. I've tried exporting my audio files from audacity to change the sample rate to what AU wants, still, it tells me I need to resample and the sound is degraded. Please help. I've tried searching online and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. 

My story is about Audition CS6 installed on Windows 10 Pro. I am working on a multitrack project with 8 tracks. When I attempt to export all tracks to separate files, all the exported files are created with correct file names, but only the first six tracks are normal, tracks 7 and 8 have no data in them. In Windows File Explorer, the "length" column is blank, whereas tracks 1-6 have normal lengths listed. Note that all tracks are structured identically ... the Mute, Solo and Record Ready buttons are all off in all tracks. Wierder still is that if I create two new tracks, 9 & 10, and move the files to those two new tracks, the same thing happens: tracks 1-6 export correctly and tracks 9 and 10 are empty with correct names and blank lengths reported in File Explorer. I have done this identical operation about 75 times with other projects and have never encountered this. I have exited the program and started over with no change. I have rebooted the computer with no change. C

If my track is 2:15 and I want to remix to 1:00 exact my track gets remixed to 1:04. How can I make sure my track gets 1:00 without time stretching?Tempo had to be consistent because I want remix different version of my track with an exact time. If I want my track to be 1:00 I want it to be precisely 1:00. Hope this is possible within audition. If not, is there anything I can do with my original track? Maybe add more transients? Of something else? Thank 

I have 2 stereo tracks of the same recording which I want to combine into 1 track.  I would like to be able to mix the 2 tracks, such as 60% of track 1 and 40% of track 2 in order to get the right balance since one is a sound board recording and the other is an audience. I have brought both tracks into a multitrack session and lined them up so they are timed correctly.  What I can't figure out is how to apply percentages to each track to get the right mix before I do a mixdown. What I want to do is try a percent, listen and then maybe adjust. How do I do this? 

My computer broke and Windows no longer boots up (blue screen).   I lost 3 hrs of work.    I am on a different laptop now. Is there any way to recover recent files within Adobe Audition?   Thank you so much!   Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the correct forum...

I've been happily editing several .wav files, but now for some reason an extremely loud background noise has been added to them. I assume I hit some kind of button or changed some kind of setting, but I can't figure out what it is. Any wise words from the community?

When I save a file as a .wav, it creates a deafening background noise, and I'm not sure why. (Saving as an .AIFF does not create the noise) See the screen shots below for how it all seems to go south when the recording (which is a .wav) is saved again as a new .wav. 1) A nice healthy file. 2) I highlight and copy the soundwaves. 3) I create a new file. 4) New file looks good! 5) I paste the soundwaves in the new file. Looks good. I check it for sound - sounds good. 6) I save the new file, then close. 7) I open up the new file and it's a mess.  FWIW, this doesn't happen with AIFF saves. I can save and close an AIFF file, open it up again with no problems. Only .wav to .wav.  I have ruined a few recordings with this process. Is there any way to save them? They're in a Dropbox, but Dropbox for some reason does not recognize the previous version.

Not sure why, but suddenly, I can no longer drag audio files into Audition on Mac OS Sierra. The only way is to go the file, import route instead. Was working previously. Any adice would be greatfully received - thanks! 

Not only does audition crash all the dang time but it also won't let me save sessions until I quit. I edit a session, which creates a little asterisk next to the session listed in the file panel. I hit save, nothing. When I quit it asks me to save but also crashes half the time.  Audition hasn't been stable since 2019. Incredibly frustrating.

Hallo,ich habe zusammen mit Freunden bei einem Casting Filmaufnahmen gemacht. Leider ist uns hierbei ein kleiner Fehler unterlaufen und wir haben die Kamera auf Mic und nicht auf Line für den Toneingang gestellt.Der Fehler ist uns allerdings erst am Abend aufgefallen und wir können die Aufnahen nicht wiederholen. Jetzt zu meinem eigentlichen Problem. Wenn ich die Audiodatei in Audition öffne und den DeClipper nach geclippten stellen suchen lasse, dann findet dieser keine geclippten stellen, obwohl man das Clipping deutlich hört. Hat vielleicht jemand eine Idee wie ich die Audio möglichst gut retten kann? Mir ist bewusst, dass die Audio niemals mehr perfekt werden kann es geht auch nur darum noch das bestmöglichste rauszuholen. Ich habe mal einen Ausschnitt unten beigefügt (Minute 1-2) und einen Screenshot aus Auditon. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe schoneinmal im Vorraus GrüßeJonas

So, it used to be that in Multitrack Editor, when you crossfaded two clips, it would be Asymmetrical by default: I loved that. That's usually what you (or at least I) want. Now (as of the latest update, I think), it's always Symmetrical and I have to switch it back every single time. Is there a way to set the default back to Asymmetrical? If so, I cannot find it!

I have a multi-track session that I use as a template for my podcast.  I created this session years ago.  When I produce a new episode, I pull up this template which has my intro and outro music saved on it.  I then record my episode in this session.  The problem I have is that the recording date listen in the MetaData will always default to when I first created the session years ago.  If I erase and type in the date and save it, it switches it back before it saves.  I did confirm that if I create a new session, the Recording Date populates correctly.  If I hover over the Recording Date field, it says (xmp:CreateDate) so I believe this field will populate with the date the file was originally created regardless of when you actually record in it.  So, if I create a new multi-track session today, do nothing with it for a week, record audio, and then save it, the Recording Date will show a week ago because that field is populated with when the file

I am looking for a key command or a button to hit once that will take me back to the beginning of a track. Can you change the Move Playhead to Previous button to Move Playhead to Beginning? Right now I am having to drag the timeline cursor manually back and there has to be a better way.

I am looking to zoom in and out of tracks like you can with Photoshop and Illustrator. I think this would be a more efficient way of navigating than the zoom bar at top offers.
