Help! I have been working for over 18 hours on a podcast episode, and am now unable to open the file due to this error message I am receiving. I have been working with Adobe Audition for over 2 years and have never encountered this issue before. I am terrified that all my hard work is lost. Any advice you can graciously provide would be deep;y, deeply appreciated by me and my team!!!!  I didnt do any updates overnight or anything, and there was no apparent program crash. The error message is: "The Byte Stream Type of the given URL is unsupported." 

I have my sampling rate set to 192000Hz, so I should theoretically be able to see up to 96kHz on the spectral display.  I can scroll in and out to show fewer or more frequencies but there is no option (via scroll whell or right click) to expand the view past 60kHz.  Is there a setting I've inadvertently put on to limit the spectral display? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, This might be a very basic question, but unfortunately, I can't find the option in Audition: I have an audio with two speakers, both of their voices average at about -3db. Alongside the voices, there are also (unfortunately many) smaller background noises (like birds, etc.), all of which are around -15db or less.I would like to silence everything in the audio that is quieter than -15db. Isn't there a simple way to do this? Thank you very much!

Not sure if anyone here can help with this, but here goes:I'm using  Audition 24.2.0,83, Mac OS 14.3.1 on a Mac Studio M2 Max 32G This plugin behaves badly in Audition, but functions as expected in  the other DAWs I could try it with.It has a quasi sidechain function to prioritize EQ across tracks., but in Audition invoking this part of the interface results in erratic behaviour rendering it useless. (See attached screen recording) Sonible support has been back and forth with me on this, but they seem to think that something on the Audition side might need to be tweaked. They think some hidden preset might be interfering. I've reset prefs and cleared caches, restarted and re-installed without resolving the issue.  Here's the FAQ Sonible has about the issue:."smart:EQ 4 uses inter-plugin communication using IP addresses. When working with presets within EQ 4, these inter-communication settings are properly stored in the presets, so when

Hi.  I run a college radio station, and people are frequently changing the layout and look of Adobe Audition. While I'm fine with this, I want to be able to go back to what should be a default layout for our station.  So, I set up the layout the way it should be and saved the workspace with an obvious name.  Is there any way to LOCK the Workspace so that even though people may alter the view, they cannot SAVE it?  For background, while we have many users, it is inconvenient to have each person login under their own Creative Cloud account, so we simply have CC logged in under ONE email and do not log out.  We want uniformity, especially for training purposes. Are these Workspaces saved in Windows somewhere or on the cloud where they can be set to Read-Only status once I set them? Any tips or help appreicated!

Hola, tengo una subscripción Creative Cloud desde 2019, por las razones que sean, no me instalé desde un principio todas las aplicaciones que formaban parte de dicha subscripción. Ahora intento instalarme Audition, pero la última versión no es compatible con mi sistema operativo (masOS Catalina 10.15.7) y no me permite instalar una versión más antigua. ¿Existe alguna manera de poder instalar dicha versión? Gracias

I'm facing an audio restoration issue that goes beyond my skills. I have a recording of a book discussion that was intermittently disrupted by a boisterous kid in the back of the bookstore. I am trying to figure out tools/workflow for minimizing or damping the child's voice, which is quite a lot higher than the two male adults talking in the foreground. I've tried fiddling with it in spectral view with the heal tool, but my results are unusable. This isn't anything I've had to tackle before. Any advice on how to quiet down that kid? I'm sure he was charming, but he doesn't belong in this recording. I'll attach a short WAV that illustrates what I'm up against. I'm in Audition Mac 2024. Many thanks in advance!Edward

Hey everyone. I've been fighting with Adobe Audition for the past two hours, i've gone through youtube tutorials and nothing is working. Maybe you can help. I'm trying to do a Podcast with a friend and I THOUGHT the difficult part would be recording the phone call. That setting up my USB mic would be easy. HA, not so much. Anyway. I've gone into audio hardware and set default input to USB DIGITAL AUDIOthen on track 1, i have Stereo [015] USB DIGITAL AUDIO: FRONT LEFT I've pressed R  and nothing. It doesn't accept it. I speak and the levels don't move. Can anyone shed some light on this problem please. Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something. So...If the CD title and track information doesn't exist in the CDDB Server Audition will only extract the cd audio with "CD Track 1..." etc.   Why doesn;t it extract the track namesmastered on the audio cd???? If I rip the CD using Windows Media Player, windows media player is able to read the Audio CD Data that is embedded on the audio CD. So as a work around I constantly have to use Windows Media Player to rip the CD and then import the audio back to Audition. Really don;t need the extra step. It seems you need to make an improvement to the why Audition Extracts audio from the CD since not all titles are available on the CDDB Server. It would be a nice enhancement if you program Auditon to extract not only the audio but the title information on the CD and also have an option to select that insterad of always pointing to the CDDB Server. Thank you.

Here's a blast from the past. My setup: Windows 10, 32GB RAM, Kabylake 4.5GHz, Mackie 400F audio interface (firewire). The 400f works as expected in Windows. ie. I can select outputs 1/2 and play audio from the PC through the interface. And it appears on the 400f Control Room outputs.  In the past (like 5 or 6 years ago) I was able to get audio out of the 400f via Audition. Its been a while, so I was setting it all up again.However in Audition, I now can not get any audio out of the 400f. The sample rate of the Multitrack session and the 400f are the same. 48000Hz.I have Audition set to ASIO, and have selected the 400f in there.  In the Mix channel in Audition, I have tried Default, Default Output, [01S] Analog Output 1. None of these produce sound from the Control Room outputs, or the headphones out. Its very odd... I'm hoiping someone out there has this interface working, or maybe some things I could try. Thanks,Norman

Hello, I'm pretty new to Audition so hoping this is an easy fix. My spectral frequency peaks are "cut off" at about 10k Hz. How do I adjust my settings so that this doesn't happen? I'm recording in 48000Hz, mono, 16 bit depth, and saving as .wav.

Hi Guys,   I recently had to disconnect everything to do a mobile recording project.  I ran into some problems that I eventually figured out, but when I set everything back up here in my studio, my "Record" function on the individual channels is now greyed out - unusable.  I'm thinking some setting got changed, but I can't for the life of me find anything that seems to relate to the channel functions.

Greetings,Does anyone have a workflow that you would suggest for using Audition to edit a podcast interview?I have 2 or 3 different audio files, separate for each guest, recorded from Zoom, often 30 - 50 minutes to clean up. I work mostly in multitrack but sometimes enter waveform for more detail.Here is the order that  I have been doing, so far1.  Noise Reduction to clean up ongoing background noise that is consistent2. Diagnostics to Strip Silence to identify breaks3. Listen and manually edit ums/so/you know, odd single noises/word fumbles4. Essential Sound for a little enhancement5. Add intro and exit sound clips with music6. export mixdown I've noticed that I spend a lot of time waiting when I do my manual edits and am wondering if I should do those first.What other effects/edits do you use regularly?

Hi, I use Audition to edit my podcast, and am often using a similar command pattern to get rid of "ums" and other pauses --> time select, ripple delete time selected in all track, select clips to end of session, nudge left 5. To varying degrees, after a number of rounds of this pattern Audition begins to slow down dramatically and then freeze for 5-10 seconds. This happens specifically during the ripple delete or nudging commands. After it slows down, it will evnetually just get stuck on the nudge command as if I'm holding down the hotkey for it or as if I have hit it a bunch of times and a row, and it will just keep nudging uncontrollably for 15-20 seconds until it finally stops. Then I must undo all of those steps, save, and quit. Once I quit and reluanch, it works fine again, and then after a few rounds, starts to slow. The thing is, there are times when this doesn't happen or only happens after a while. This week, it's happening after only 2-3 rounds of commands (meani

I have recorded a 30 second piece for IVR and have gone through all of the steps to save it to a ulaw file, but the client is unable to upload it to their IVA system. Any suggestions on what the issue might be? I've recorded an original wav file, then converted it to a ulaw file as per the pictures below.

So this has happened three times now where I've taken a file from premiere to audition to edit the sound. Ive spent ages working on it saved it in both sections. It says it's saved and the next day I open the project and nothing has been saved. The only evidence that I have actually worked on it is the PKF file which I have discovered through looking on these forums is useless to me. I should note that I am using a trial version so I'm not sure if it's related to that but it is certainly deterring me from buying this product. Can anyone help me out? Thanks 

I batch converted all my clips from mono to stereo, and now I'm having an issue. I'm new to Adobe Audition, so I'm hoping this is something super simple that I'm just missing!In the multi-track, I can hear the sound coming from both channels. But when I go into the Waveform for each clip, the sound comes from only the left channel. I see waveforms in the right channel, but it appears grayed out. When I click on Edit/Enable Channels, it looks like only the Left channel is selected — but when I click on "All Channels" or "Right Channel" to enable them, nothing happens. Any idea what could be happening here? 

This issue was not present in 2019 edition.  Sending a sequence to Audition from Premiere worked fine. Now, all clips have "Amplify" applied at 8.98 to them, as well as clip volume raised to 9dB.  (The yellow line, not the clip gain.)Do not talk about unchecking the boxes when you send.  Been through all that.  Tested with a fresh sequence in a fresh project using only one audio clip.  Does the same thing.Only difference I've noticed is that some files won't have the Amplify effect applied, but they'll still have clip volume raised 9dB.This obviously somewhat breaks the functionality.

I have several clips (cuts) inside the multitrack and I would like to navigate to the beginning (end) of each clip easily, but I didn't find anything like that.Any idea?

Hi Again,   Ok, I asked earlier about why my level meters suddently quit working.  I now cannot find that.  Anyway, I've looked at several YouTube tutorials, and not a single one of them show what I see in my program.  I have a newer version, downloaded in maybe late 2023, or possibly even sometime in early 2024.  I'm guessing what those tutorials are showing is in the older versions.  I do not understand the setup, being that I never change settings - I have no reason to.  I did manage to find the Channel Mapping screen, and everything seems to be in order - both the input settings, and the output settings.  It's strange that my settings seem to magically change for no apparent reason.  The other day, my Record buttons got disabled somehow, and I came here to ask about that, didn't get any answer that I could make heads or tails of.  For some reason, the setting changed itself back, because now the Record buttons are operable.&nbs

When opening effects in multitrack, is there a way to open them up in the sidebar rather than individual popups? I'd prefer it if I could open them more like how they open in After Effects, rather than a load of separate windows 

I have been using Audition for the past 4 years for Voice Over work.  I was working on a MacBook Pro.  I recently got a new computer and iMac.  My recordings on Audition now have a crackling sound in the background.  Also, there seems to be a lot of bass in the recordings.  I never had these problems with the laptop.  I had hoped getting the desktop would give me better service.  How can I resolve these problems?

I'm attaching an image of the "window" in which I usually view the editing area (don't know what it's called) where the waveform usually appears.  It's turned into this thin bar. see attached image. All the other windows open with no problem, but I can't edit!  Fortunately, I still have Audition 2023 and it opens just fine, but I can't figure out what's going on. I've tried all kinds of workspace settings, but none will open the editing window. This is the 2024 version of Audition on a mac studio running OS 14.4.1

I've read about the Auti-heal feature, but is there a way to do this in a none-destructive mannar? Like on the multitrack?
