Questions

Hi During most Audition actions I don't think too much and do things intuitively. For a few days, I couldn't open a saved x.sesx multitrack file with Windows Explorer correctly. It does open since the x.sesx extension is set to Audition in the W11 settings, except for the default screen with nothing to see. The saved multitrack screen only opens completely within Audition itself.. Menu, File, open. I felt my blood pressure rising after getting a blank opening screen the first few times after a couple of hours of hard work in Audition. I presume that this bug issue is a Windows 11 one. Assuming that you guys have more intense contact and meetings with Microsoft, I thought it was useful to bring it up here. Thanks for reading and hopefully answering. Best, René

Hi guys, Sorry, I am an Audition beginner and I am having difficulties using it. I am working with a lengthy sound track (main track), and I need to split and save them as different files.However, when I copied one of the clips from the main track to a new file and saved it, I discovered that the main track jumps back to the second where I made the edit in the copied file. For example:1. When I copied a selected clip to new file2. After I edited3. The main track jumps back to the second where I made the edit in the copied file. Is it possible for the main track to not jump back and remain at the selected clip? It is difficult for me to relocate the exact editing area. I'm aware that I can use markers to navigate, but I would like to explore alternative solutions if available. Thank you so much.  

Is there a tool to automatically remove gaps in adobe audition in a multitrack session? If not, there should be. It woul make eidting podcasts much easier.

I only started using audition a few weeks ago, but over the last two days something really weird is happening when I press record. When I hit the button, the bar starts moving in a stuttering way, and any audio I record doesn't show up on the screen, like the bar is just moving without any recording actually happening. In other words, when I hit record, audition starts "recording" but doesn't actually show any input, and there's nothing on the playback except a jolt of sound at the beginning. It's not a problem with my microphone (I tested this a few times), and the audio hardware and audio channel mapping settings are all in the right place. I tried resetting audition to default settings, but it didn't solve the issue. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it still didn't work. If anyone else has had this issue and has figured out how to fix it, please let me know!

Hello, When I get the "Detected Dropped Samples" warning in the bottom right corner, is there any more information available, e.g some kind of log or timestamp? I have an hour-plus recording that I just finished and I want to find the moment(s) when it happened. Thanks!

Hi, I am sure I am missing somehting here but I just couldnt figure it out. Hopefully you can help me. I am working with three tracks. One is the audio (people talking), second is the narrator and third is sound effects. Here is an example:The whole audio is 10 minutes long. minute 1-4 is track 1, people talking. minute 5 is the narrator, track 2. minute 6 up to 10 is again people talking, track 1. There are sound effects at minute 1, 2 ,3 and 4 in track 3.  Now, if I delete minute 1:30 to 2:15 and close the gap, there sound effects are totally off / at the wrong time. Is there a possibility to select not only all clips at the same time but also all clips at all tracks and just close the gap?If not, what is the best solution for this?Thank you for your help 

I want my audio to be measured by frames and not the number of seconds. Is this possible?

Hi All, I'm trying to build an automation in Adobe Audition to make a selection and apply an effect, in this case Silence, to that selection, and then do this for all the other selections. My "Selection" is defined as marker regions (marker with start and end points). The problem I have is that I can't seem to find a function to actually make a selection.I know that I can move the playhead position by manipulating a variable in the Extendscript, but I want a selection to be activated and the region from start to end position to be selected. Or if there an alternative to turning marker region to a selection. I tried dispatching (DocumentEvent.EVENT_TIMESELECTIONCHANGED), but it didn't work. 

Greetings, I have been working on recording voiceovers and was wondering if anyone knew what is good setting to use in audition to have a professional sounding recording? I have watched different YouTube videos on how to do this and yet nothing seems to work.

Hi all,I have a strange request. I have one .wav file that I would like to combine, sequentially, with thousands of other .wav files. By "combine" I mean mixing down, similar to how you would in a multitrack session where two or more overlapping files are combined. To provide a visual example of what I'd like to do:A.wav <- file that will be mixed with the other filesB1.wav, B2.wav .....B15000.wav <- files I want to combine A.wav withAB1.wav, AB2.wav......AB15000.wav <- what I'd like to end up withIf A.wav is a 15s file and B1.wav is a 15s file, AB1.wav is also a 15s file (not a 30s file).I'm assuming to do this I'll need to turn to scripts (I have access to both Adobe Audition 3.0 and Adobe Audition CC 2017), but don't know where to start with that.If you guys and gals can solve this problem I will forever be in your debt!

No sé qué ocurre con Audition, pero no puedo usar las herramientas comunes para editar mis archivos. He intentado diversas formas, pero el programa suspende la opción de seleccionar cualquier herramienta diferente a Selección de Tiempo. 

Hi there, While recording, I forgot to direct the stereo input for two different speakers. As a result, one speaker comes through the right headphone, and the other speaker comes through the left. Is there any way to resolve this? Thank you, Nicole

Hi i'm looking for a shortcut that is similar to one used in Premiere Pro to speed up my workflow.   In Premiere, it's known as Track Select Forward Tool.  If you press A on your sequence you can select a point on the timeline and move all clips that are before or after that point in either direction (regardless on which track it's on). So if you are at 0.30.00 anything from 0.30.01 can be moved along the timeline or anything before that depending on which direction the arrow tool is facing. Does this tool exist in Audition?  It is quite time consuming and tedious highlighting clips on the multitrack that I want to shift rather along the timeline rather  than having a short cut that I can move clips from that specific point.  Hopefully there is something similar that I can use to speed up my workflow. Thank you Let me know. Thanks

Hi, I upgraded to the latest audition version, and the playhead won't playback. Does anyone have a solution? 2019 Macbook Pro2.6 GHz 6- Core Intel Core i732 GB 2400 MHz DDR4macOS Sonoma 14.1.1

Hello everyone While I work on multitrack I need to insert plugins for each track of course. But unlike other DAWs such as Cubase or FL Studio, Adobe Audition doesn't have the feature to search for plugins by name, but instead have to scroll to go to the plugin you want to use (please check my screenshot). I have a ton of plugins so that it takes a long of time to scroll to which I need because sometimes it's at the bottom of the list. Why don't we have a textbox where we can type "reverb" and the results will show all the plugins that have "reverb" in their name (please check my screenshot from FL Studio). I think this is the basic functionality required to enhance the UX of Adobe Audition. Thank you.  

Loaded the 2024 update to Audition and experiencing a couple of bugs. I record voice audio directly into Audition using a Samson Q2U handheld dynamic USB mic with a pop screen and a boom. Laptop is a 2020 MacBook Air with the 1.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor and Sonoma 14.0 OS. Since installing the newest version of Audition, I am getting dropouts on playback. The sound will "jump" or skip a whole second and then pick up a word or two later. There's no silence in between, but rather a mashup within the sentence. Secondly, I am experiencing a grainy or scratchy audio quality on playback. It's clean in my headsets when recording, but I get a slight distortion during certain parts of playback. I have adjusted the gain and run DeClicker (which I always do) to no avail. Wondering if this is a hardware or software problem. Also, I have read that the WiFi in my home could be "competing" for processing space, which could cause the dropouts. Does the WiFi have to be on when I am r

Do you know what I mean? That added blank space that's added after encoding audio to mp3s? mp3s exported from audition used to have that. But now it's gone.For most of us, that's unwatned. To me though, I have utilized that space as a "breathe/pause" for my voice overs (I export one mp3 per line)And so, believe it or not, I miss that extra space. Did Audition "solve" that and it's now gone? Or is there something that I can do to bring it back?

Not the biggest deal but posting because of curiousity. When I use any other audio recording program the audio levels from the mic are reactive and snappy but for some reason they lag in Audition?Is this a stupid setting I am not aware of? How does such a major company stuff something up that so many free programs have never had an issue with? Why are the levels lagging in Audition? At this rate I'm genuinely never using Audition again

Hello, I wondered if anyone could please advise me on how to access more voices on Microsoft, and how to get Adobe Audition to recognise these voices as options?  I have tried Zero2000 which I saw recommended on a Microsoft users forum, but I was not able to download the voices I wanted (British English, as I work for a UK company who want to text-to-speech for some videos). I have to request permission from IT to install .exe files, and when we sat down together to install the voice files from Zero2000, unfortunately it was recognised as malicious.  If anyone has any recommendations on a safe way to get access to any more voices, I would be very grateful. Thanks very much! 

I'm not sure what has changed since I last ran Audition a few days ago, but I attempted to this morning and found that immediately I get the a dialog box error stating:"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP110.dll was not found. Reinstalling the progam may fix this problem."I found this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/missing-msvcp110dll.htmlI checked my version of the creative cloud app and it appears up to date ( I even reinstalled it) at version 5.5.0.617.I then went to the directly mentioned in the above link, but found no vcredist_x64.exe to run.I uninstalled and reinstalled Audition and the error persists. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do to fix this issue?

I often record hours of audio in multitrack sessions. I do a lot of work within the session before editing even begins. I have markers, mixing, effects, and so on, often as a result of going over the recorded material with the artists, and I keep all those markers and notes in the long multitrack session in order to know where my splices will be, and it helps keep things synced with any recorded video that I may also need to splice alongside my audio. As a result, it is much easier to continue working within the same session. If I start a new session and copy/paste my audio in, none of my markings follow (and yes, I know you can now mark individual clips within a multritrack, but the feature is underdeveloped for my needs). So instead, I start editing in the same session (saving versions as I go). As I edit and trim the time down, the session drops from 3 hours, to 2 hours, to 1 hour, to perhaps as little as 5 minutes of audio spliced together. And then I'm left with all this &amp

In an Audition multitrack session, there are a number of tracks that I want to control through keyframes.  In particular, I want to move the Rack Mix from Dry-->Wet-->Dry again over about a 3 to 4 second period.  On the rack is a single effect - FFT Filter - set to take out majority of the highs and mids (think underwater kind of sound). The keyframes are lined up to where they need to be. Scrubbing manullay through shows the Rack Mix slider moving as it should - from dry, to wet, to dry. However, when playing the session, the acctions happen about 1 to 2 seconds earlier - before the playhead has even hit the keyframe.  Furthermore - when I step through using the arrow keys - the rack mix jumps all over the place (100, 0, 86, 0, 4, 86, 100....etc). Initially I manually created the keyframes, clicking and dragging, then I started again and created using the 'Write' method that copies the input that I make - problem occurs both times.&nb

While editing a multitrack file I need to quickly rewind to the beginning and In point, resp., to be able to compare two tracks.For this I'd usually use the keyboard shortcuts <HOME> or <Q> (on my Windows machine). However, none of them work during playback.Is there an option in Audition that's activating playhead keyboard shortcuts during playback?

I want to use the levels window to monitor, well, my levels without getting the audio playback from it. Anyone know how to not get the playback?

Just recently got a Mac Studio 2 Ultra(came Sonoma already installed) and I'm running Audition 24.0.3.3.  I tried to install a Presonus Studio 68C with it today but cannot record on it.  The Presonus hardware and mapping is showing up in Audition and I'm getting sound through the headphones and speakers but nothing when I try to record...just a flat line.  I'm afraid it's a Sonoma issue but hoping it isn't.  Any feedback will be appreciated.
