Questions

I accidentaly deleted one of the defalut presets that come with Audition in the Effects Rack. Is there a way to restore the initial state with all defalut presets? I am using Adobe Audition Build 22.1.1.23 on Windows 10. Thank you for any hints and help!

I need help finding a way to remove an annoying sibilance from this audio. The sound in question occurs frequently on the "T", making them sound like "Ths" or very harsh "T". I've tried one or multiple de-essers, multiband compressors, EQ, noise reduction, etc., but nothing works. I can't remove it manually, as it seems to be across multiple frequencies from 3.2k to 12.5k Hz. I can manage to tone it down with the EQs but lose a lot of clarity and can still be heard. I've also tried the healing tool on the spectral display without success. In the audio I've uploaded, you can clearly hear it, especially when the narrator says "Entertainment." I'm open to any solution.

Hi, I have tried searching the community for an answer, but can't find it. I'm working with a VO that delivered clean takes but I need 500ms silence before and after each part of speech. When running diagnostics and choosing delete silence, the "Shorten silence" option doesn't appear. (see picture). How do I solve this? Audition is up to date and I have changed the setting several times, but no solution yet.  What can I do? 

I have an M2TS file into which are embedded at least 4 languages. I can play the file in VLC and it defaults to English. When I open the video in Audition and drop the audio tracks to a multitrack project, I get a different language. I don't know what it is, but it sure isn't English! I know M2TS can have multiple languages embedded, how do I select a specific one? I'm on Windows 10, Audition 2024.

I'm trying to tightly edit some dialogue and have no use for panning. The pan line wasn't there in the beginning and I don't know why it showed up, but now the line is blocking waveform details that I need to see to finish what I'm working on. Does any one know how to turn the pan line off?

Hello, I have a question for you. I have a SoundBlaster Audigy RX 5 sound card with SPDIF output and now I am wondering if I can somehow force a Dolby Digital signal from my computer. My amplifier uses Dolby Pro Logic every time I work with 5.1 in Adobe Audition 2023 even thought I am trying to mix Dolby Digital and I am sending all the channels it needs.My current channel mapping in Audition:Dolby Digital is working fine when I play music that I mastered and exported as AC3 from Audition the thing is I don't get Dolby Digital straight from Audition when I am trying to master 5.1 it only works in Dolby Pro Logic so when I am listening to center channel in Audition, I cannot hear anything from my speaker also when I start playing music from channel left and right it suddenly starts playing on center channel because of Dolby Pro Logic. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe Audition is just too basic to always output 5.1 sound in DD. If I am trying to master 5.1 it's really hard when

How do I stop playback from jumping back to the start of the project every time it hits the end of the project? This is very inconvenient when you are working with clips at the end of the timeline.

I've placed a .wav file of a voice over recording into a fresh Adobe Audition multitrack session. The master level indicator is showing me that my levels are quite low, so I've boosted the track volume by 3 decibels. This is causing the track level to clip, however the master is not clipping, indicating that I still have headroom. How is it possible that the track can be clipping but the master isn't? I come from Ableton Live, and this isn't possible without turning down the master or using plugins or effects to reduce volume on the master. To clarify, I haven't touched any settings or volume controls other than the track that has my audio on it. Screenshot for reference. I'm aware that this is most likely my lack of knowledge of Adobe Audition, so posting this as a discussion question.

Title says all; I was hard at work on my Audio final when it crashed. Upon trying to reopen, all of my work is gone. I had autosave on but all of the backup files are missing the work as well.  Is there any hope of recovering my work or will I have to start over?

Running Windows 10 and using the latest version of Audition (24.2), the program is shut down by my employer's antivirus (Sophos Endpoint Agent) whenever I open or create a new multitrack session with the error "Lockdown - malicious behavior prevented in Adobe Audition." This problem began when I updated to 24.2, and ONLY occurs with this version. I am able to work normally in 23.5, which I have installed seperately.  I've seen no other posts about this, and I cannot replicate it on other work computers with the same version of Audition installed.  Any suggestions or simular experiences? Am I at the mercy of my employer's system administrators and their chosen security program? Trying to avoid reinstall if possible, as it tends to wipe out all of my settings and preferences. 

Can anyone tell me what's happening here? I'm openning a SESX file in Audition that loads a bunch of different WAV files. It'd been behaving very normally until today, when it's now taking a long time to load these WAVs and gives me this "Reading Windows Media Foundation" message while doing so. Any idea what's up with that?

Audition keeps turning my microphone system volume down.I have my microphone volume set to 90% (in windows 10). When I load Audition, it drops my microphone volume drops to 50% which is too quiet for Audition to record properly. I then have to manually go into the windows sound settings each time to turn it back up. There are a few applications which can do this, and which I have fixed one by one, but I cannot find the setting in Audition to disable this action. I've changed the microphone setting so that applications cannot take exclusive control. Any ideas??

Hello, apologies for the boring feature request... Please could it be made possible (unless it already is and I'm missing something) to take snapping off keyframe automation so that you can slide between values.  For example, I'm currently editing something where I want to change the value between volume keyframes from 0 to +1. Instead of letting me do so easily, Audition will snap the keyframes to +1.6. Every time I try and move it lower than +1.6 it'll snap back down to 0. The only way to get it to act how I want it to is to zoom in on the keyframe panel - which is frustrating and a waste of time.  I can see why snapping might be useful, but having a way of toggling snapping off would be useful, especially when trying to move quickly through automation. Please see video example

Hey guys, Small but annoying and perplexing error message I've been getting for the past few weeks. I finish mixing down my track, go to save it as a .wav or .mp3 and I always pick the project folder that I'm using as the target destination for the export. I'm constantly getting this error message. Audition does not recognize the folder I literally just picked, says it does not exist and forces me to save on the desktop or either make a duplicate folder. I know it's a small thing but it has caused confusion more than once and adds another step.

Does anyone know why two of the four effects that I have on a multitrack recording are slightly red in dark mode?Ihave no idea what causes this because there is no obvious message attached.Any ideas? Thank You!

In the past couple of weeks Audition has been crashing frequently, saying that the files have no asset. Lost a lot of work recently. I've been using Audition for years and never had this issue before. Screen shot below. I'm working on an M2 MacBook Air with OS Ventura. Appreciate any help you can offer. 

Dear Folks, I accidentally deleted my copy of Adobe Audition 2020. My Mac won't update beyond High Sierra, which means the new version of Adobe Audition won't download. Is there any way to restore my original 2020 version? The virtual assistant on the Adobe Audition site is no help at all...   [Mod note: Moved to a thread of its own - not relevant to the previous thread]

I can snap the head or tail of a clip to a marker, but I am unable to snap two different markers to each other. Is it possible?Currently using Version 24.2  

I am running the current program and Mac OS and am repeatedly losing project files.I always save before I quit, but every so often when I go to open from recent files I get "The file .... could not be found. Press browse to locate...." and when I look for it, it's not there.I see the backups, of course, but that does not seem like a good solutions because it seems like I will lose work here and there which... would be prohibitive.So what's up with that?

Hello! I have Adobe audition and I want to change the color of the menu bar to something darker but I can't (the white bar makes me look bad). I even switch windows to dark mode but the color of that bar is not changed. The high contrast mode allows you to change the colors of those buttons but it is not what I am looking for because with that mode everything looks very ugly.Maybe the solution is installing a program or something but I tried everything and I couldn't. I ask the question because I always work at night and, oddly enough, that little white bar between the entire black screen makes my eyes super uncomfortable. 

Hey all! I noticed there is a an option to select the next clip in your selected track in Audition’s multitrack view (Edit > Select > Next Clip in Selected Track). However, I noticed this only works if you already have a clip selected. If I don't have any clips selected, nothing seems to happen when I try this command. My end goal is to be able to make a cut in a clip, and then select the next clip to delete it without having to move my cursor (after adding some keyboard shortcuts). Am I doing something wrong here? Or is there just no functionality to select the next clip in a track, without already having a clip selected?

Hi all, I recently purchased a Behringer UMC 1820 to use as my interface as my old USB mixer is outdated. It does not seem that the UMC 1820 is compatible with Audition (according to Behringer support) The Audio Device would constantly change every few minutes and could not get it to be stable.  Can you all provide some good USB Interfaces you use? Especially any that are Rack mounted?  Looking forward to see what others are using as an Interface.  Thanks  Jay

Not new to DAWs but very new to Audition.I'm switching to Audition from Garageband and want to export to .m4a for consistency with a project at work. I've tried a number of different combinations of export settings, but ultimately either get .aac or .caf outputs when done, even when the file name in the setting ended with .m4a. Am I missing something here?

Adobe audition.Doesnt matter what file type I open, when I press the spacebar it says its playing but the line doesnt move. Tried importing a WAV file - nothing, not even an error messsage. I unplugged the headphones and it gives an error saying the list of audio devices has changed...so It knows they are there. Premier pro audio works fine. Everything else is working.

Hello! I am fairly new to Audition. I have audio that was only recorded (and can only be heard) on the left side. The right side has 0 input because of the way my audio was configured when I recorded. The right side does not have a little sound. It has no sound. How do I copy the audio I have on the left to be heard on the right as well? Thanks so much.
