Questions

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?

Hello,I'm mixing some audio for a video, and the music track does not start with its first beat at the start of my session, so if I turn the metronome on, although the timing (104bpm) is correct for my music track, it is out by half a beat or so. Is there a way to offset the start of the metronome, to sync it up with my music track? In other words, I'd like the metronome to start after a delay set by me....eg. half a second. Is this possible?Thanks,Paul

I have marked up a lot of audio ranges from a mp4 clip that I want to export as individual .wav files. But when I click any single range marker (or a selection of them) the option Export Audio of Selected Range Markers is greyed out. I am running this as a Multitrack session, was that wrong of me? 

I'll record some voice and then stop and go back to do a quick edit and about 3 seconds after I play the audio, the mac beachball comes up. I cannot do anything but the audio is still playing back and after a few minutes will finally catch up. A reboot helps a little but it's getting worse. Here's a copy of my log: Log file created: Wed May 1 12:39:56 2024-------------------------------------------Ticks = 1 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> Begin startup sequenceTicks = 157 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> Initializing XML LoaderTicks = 162 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> Initializing Application SettingsTicks = 247 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> Application: AuditionTicks = 247 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> Version: 24.2.0Ticks = 247 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> Build: 83Ticks = 252 <16068> <AuLog.Startup> <5> AuUI initialization sequence started...Ticks = 252 <16068&g

Hi there I would like to record live effects(Binaural Audio) for a music track(not voice record through a microphone) in an audition using the Sennheiser AMBEO orbit plugin. Like I play around and whatever I do(play around), it should record in real-time in the new track. and also is there any other way to modify it later? My primary concern is recording live. I can see automation in Davinci Resolve Studio. But I don't know how I do it in Audition. Help me pls

I have never had this problem before, and to my knowledge nothing has changed in my recording enviroment technically or sound wise. Is this a software problem or user error? How would one go about not having this not show up in every recording? I've restarted ect. & made sure adobe is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have a voice over client that requires a u-law file for use on their phone system and the files that I have recorded will not work with their platform. I have tried recording a typical wav file and converting to u-law and recording a file with the lower sample and bit rate required for the u-law and neither one works. I think I must have a setting issue and I could use some advice. 

I am recording a message for an IVR system using the client's specific settings of 8 bit, mono, 8,000 htz. When I re-open the file after saving it as a ulaw the properties have changed to 16 bit. How do I get it back to 8 bit?

Hey, I'm a first time user, (MacBook Pro, OS Mojave) and this may be an obvious or stupid question, although I have a ton of experience with other Adobe products and I've never seen this happen before. I was listening to music as I opened Audition for the first time, and about halfway through the open process, the song I'm listening to suddenly sounds all canned and lo-fi. I thought, well that's weird, and opened one of the tutorial videos and it sounds awful too. I went back to the music, and it still sounded awful. Then I closed Audition and suddenly, voila! it sounds fine again. I tried a bunch of different combinations and every time, Audition destroys the sound quality of the feed to my earphones. Now, I won't really be able to work on mixing sounds as long as this is a problem. I suspect Audition has taken over my sound settings, but since I'm so new, I don't know how to access that. Can anyone tell me what might be going on?  Thank you!

Last week all of the effects presets that I saved in the Effects Favorites panel inexplicably disappeared. I updated to the current Audition Build 12.1.4.5, but it did not restore any effects. I found another post on here that suggested copying the EffectPresets.xml file from the 11.0 folder and pasting/overwriting the file in the 12.0 folder, but that didn't help. Any suggestions to help me get my presets back? Also, Clip-->Fade In and Out became grayed out and stopped working at the same time that my Effects Favorites disappeared. A related issue?  Please help!

With the latest update of Audition, my Sophos Anti Virus doesn't allow Audition to open Multi track... is anyone else having this issue and what have you done about it?ThanksI've had to roll back two or three versions of update to get it to do Multi Track without triggering the anti virus of the college network.
