Questions

I am recording my band for the first time on an Allen & Heath SQ-5 with Windows 10 using Adobe Audition 2024. My computer has 64GB RAM and 14 Cores, 28 logical processors.I can record multitrack just fine but when I go to punch in, the recording is not in sync. It starts in sync, then slowly drifts out of sync with the original audio so I can't change any latency settings to fix. The punched in tracks drift.I am using the A&H SQ ASIO drivers. I have set the computer power settings to High Performance, Disabled the USB Suspend Setting and both the SQ-5 and Windows SQ ASIO Driver are up to date. I've tried high and low buffer settings, and many in-between. The audio hardware settings are correct for the board (I can live record multitrack and playback without issue; the punched in recordings are the issue). The board is USB connected. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. If I can't get this to work I have to go back to the Roland OctaCapture and I'll lose a lot of

I am tracking drums in a mulitrack session in Adobe Audition.  I'm playing to a scratch track already recorded in Audition on a track that's NOT armed.  How do I get the transport to keep playing the scrtach track over and over so I can doo multiple takes of the song.  The takes would stack up on top of each other with each take.  Then I can edit with the razor tool to reveal previous takes below?  How do I record with the Playback Loop button on?

Hi Adobe,I used Audition to generate a 1-hour 0dBFS 1kHz tone and saved it as a .wav file without any issues.However, after converting the file to .mp3, closing it, and re-importing it into Audition, I noticed that the dBFS of the .mp3 file was reduced. The amount of reduction varied inconsistently.If the audio file is 1 minute or shorter, this issue does not occur.I tested this with both the 2024 and 2025 versions of Audition, and the issue persists in both.Best regards,Jeffery.

I have the problem that Audition wont output audio. I can move the playhead manually, but it wont move when I press space or the play button.Changing the output device doesn't have an effect. Neither do restarts or resetting the workspace have an effect. Does anybody have an idea what's the problem here?

I'm using Audition on a Win 10 machine running Audinate Dante VIA.  For some reason I can only route the Mix bus to a Dante output.  I have VIA set up as 16x16 and CAN route the mix bus to any of the DANTE outputs available but if I route the output of a bus to a Dante TX it does not transmit.    

Hi, help, WINDOWS 10 , Adobe Audition 1.5, not recording, says "undefined external error" ???

Hi, I've recorded a .wav clip at my school using their adobe audition, emailed it to myself to edit at home using my adobe audition (via my adobe premium pro subscription) however the .wav file doesn't seem to load into my library, when I drag and drop, a new tab opens to just play the file. Any pointes?

Hello!I am looking for an answer to the following question:I have a music track, I don't like the middle part, I would like to cut it out, and connect the beginning and the end of the track with a smooth mix.The volume of the first part of the track gradually decreases, and at the same time, the volume of the last part of the track gradually increases. Like DJs at a nonstop performance.Can this be done using Adobe Audition 2024?What VST plugins are there that can accomplish this task?I am using Adobe Audition 2024. 24.00.46. Windows 10 x 64

Is there any way to stretch (or compress) a portion of a file in multitrack view? Here is my scenario.  I have 2 files in multitrack view of the same song, but from different sources. I want to be able to adjust the end of a portion of the track so that the 2 files start at end at the same points. I have to edit the entire track in segments since there are speed variations within the track. Doing this in the multitrack editor will allow me to exactly align them if I can adjust the length of the segment I have selected. Is this possible? I am using the current version of Audition.

A new release of Adobe Audition. And you can have any Appearance you want so long as it is a shade of black.Adobe are still not listening. Some of us have a hard time seeing and working with dark colours on the screen.Why is there still no light coloured option or options for Appearance? FrustratedRob

I've spent many hours talking to Adobe AU tech support, but sadly, I have not had any luck with them. I'm working on a large-scale project where all the audio is edited in AU, and then all the streams/tracks are bounced down to a server. While in the editing process, we need AU to follow the timecode from the video servers so the playhead in AU follows the time of the video playing back.  It could also be the case that I could output a specific time from AU so that the video servers follow the AU playhead.  This has been possible in all other DAWs I've worked in ProTools, Logic, etc, but can't seem to get any external timecode into my AU projects. I'm using the latest AU on MacOS.  Tom

Hello all,  I'm new to Audition. Using Version 25.0.0.47 on a Macbook Air M3. I'm experiencing the following issue:  When I'm playing back audio waveform in Waveform view, I click to a location on the waveform, and instead of the playhead jumping there instantly, a second "dotted line" playhead appears.  If I click in the time counter above the waveform, then the playhead does jump to the location I choose. But I also want this to happen if I click on the waveform itself.   What am I doing wrong? What do I need to check/fix in order to get the playhead to simply jump to where I click it on the waveform, instead of creating that second "ghost" playhead?   (**screenshot attached for reference) 

This is the my furst day with the bew audition.  I used ver 3.01 until now. Set the program up to use the 'what you hear' device as input.  The levels aree very low and it seems just the noise is recorded?  Wat am I doing wrong?

Hi, I contacted adobe support over the phone and asked if adobe audition has become more accessible to screen readers. They said that in the latest version, audition has become quite a bit more accessible to screen readers. This is not the case, I downloaded the latest version from creative cloud, and adobe audition works extremely poorly for screen readers. Buttons are not labeled, sliders are not standard windows screen reader sliders, I can not change settings also further. Adobe musttighten up and fix this for real, because this is not on the skåj!

hiI have accidentally undocked the Toolbar - no idea how this happened - so it became a floating panel.When I tried to redock it, it was added to my panel group as a chunky panel. In the original position it was in one horozontal row  just below the menu bar which is where and how I want it. This is really ennoying and disrupting my workflow, so could someone please advise how can I return my toolbar to its original place and display - short of resetting my whole workspace to the default. thanks

Hello, I noticed a few days ago that my Clip tab stopped working. I try clicking on any of the functionalities, and the application doesn't respond. The File, Edit, and Effects tabs are functional, but the Clip tab is no longer working. In the video below (screen recorded), I attempt to click on the functions with the mouse, but nothing works. Any tips?

I hope you don't mind me asking a non Adobe question. In my day ( many years a go) as a production sound mixer, the main format for sharing projects between different people was the analogue 24 track tape. What is now the required format for project interchange now everything is digital?

At some point in the timeline, the video reference is no longer visible in the video monitor window (it shows black) when it is in playback, and it only shows the image when it is in stop. This makes it impossible for me to check the sync correctly. Can you please help me to fix this issue?

Hi, I'm Dub from WideOrbit. In response to customer demand, we are currently working to create macOS-compliant versions of our Adobe Audition AMIO plugins for our WideOrbit Automation for Radio product. (We have had Windows versions for many years.) We are trying to test the macOS version of our plugin on the macOS version of Audition, but not yet getting the results we'd hoped.  I'm hoping someone here can answer the following questions for me, please, because my previous contact inside Adobe has departed. AMIO PLUGINSOur WideOrbit Read and WideOrbit Write AMIO plugins read/write our metadata into audio files during Open and Save operations. Is the following path correct for these plugins, and must we do anything to activate the plugin except copy it to the folder? /Applications/Adobe Audition 2023/Contents/Amio Plug-Ins XMP custom metadata schemaWe also distribute an XML file with a custom set of metadata properties.

Every so often (8 times out of 10) when I leave Audition with my project open and then come back to it - it FREEZES.Not only that - but every click anywhere in it switches the window to another open app on my PC (Windows 64), often closing or opening applications. ANY app.What is  going on here??The only way to fix it is to shut is down hard from  the Task Manager - which creates problems, and if there is file not saved - all my editing changes will be gone when I reopen it. Does anyone know  what is causing this? Please help as this persistent bug is driving me insane.  

Hello everybody,As I wrote in the title, I need to remove a vocal part from a movie's dialogue cause i need to start a dubbing session.I know that there's a function called Center Channel Extractor or Voice Remover but I'm not able to keep background sounds, that is what I really need.So, remove vocals keeping bg sounds. I think that Center Channel Extractor and Voice Remover are too "hard" tools.Some month ago i found a nice tutorial on Youtube but I think that the page was removed 😞Any suggestion?My Audition version is CC2014thnx a lot

WHEN I TRY TO RECORD THE RECORDING COMES OUT REALLY LOW BECAUSE THE METER IS GOING UP IT IS LIKE IT HAS A COMPRESSION ON THE TRACK WHEN THERE ARE NO EFFECTS. THE WORKERS DON'T KNOW THEIR JOB THEY ARE NO HELP AT ALL AND I PAY FOR THEIR HELP BUT DO NOT GET IT 

For all that's holy in the world, can someone please tell me how to turn off all Essential Sound tagging/effects in Audition for my entire project? My editor updated Premiere and it tagged EVERYTHING. No matter what she does in Premiere (right clicking and "removing attributes"), it still shows up in Audition with all this crazy essential sound stuff. I'm not going to go into what an awful idea "essential sound" is to begin with here... *sigh*

What am I doing wrong? Also why won't it allow me to export to media encoder? I tried changing my output. Both are focusrite. I have all the clips highlighted. I put markers but unlike premier pro I can't seem to figure out how to make a beginning and end to export so I just selected all the clips but that doesn't seem to work either.   

Both Audition25 and Audition24.6.3 are stuck on "Initializing AUBackend". This is deeply frustrating as I have one task to do before I move on to others, and this problem is preventing that.  I've tried shutting my PC down and restarting it and nothing seems to work. Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
