Questions

I tried to record an audio but the current time indicator just moved unsmoothly and didn't record anything. Watch the attached video

Every so often I get the error: "Target directory is not writable" - which kills my production workflow as I can't save my project.Now - I have read numerous advice about folder permissions, reinstalling Audition, resetting to default etc. none of which applicable to me.I get this error in a middle of a project, working with the same files, folders and clips, not after importing new files from new folders.  So - when something is working fine and then it stops working without any reason or change to the process - it means the program corruption. My first question is why after so many years, Adobe still can't remove all the bugs from Audition?  This is not a free program, but quite an expensive one and so certain quality standards are rightfully expected by the customers.Secondly - what is causing this error and how to fix it short of reinstalling Audition to default thus losing all my settings or restarting my PC?  I have Windows 10, 64 bits. I'm not reporting

The Lock in Time function of clips on a track is extremely useful - except that it is unreliable.Why do clips which are locked keep moving without any clip length changes?This defeats the whole purpose of keeping them LOCKED IN TIME.Can anyone explain?this is yet another Audition unresolved bug. PS I would recommend expanding the list of the available tags or topics to select as these are extremely limited and don't cover the whole range of key tissues.

Hey guy, I have been trying to find a way to stretch the vowel sound of a word like for example, "Hey" into "Heeeeeeeeey", but i can't find any instruction on Youtube or any webpages. Recently, I have experimented with "Stretch and Pitch" tool, but it unfortunately results in echoing and disrupting line like "He-e-e-e-e-e-e-ey". Can you guys suggest a better solution to this problem? Thank you!

Annoyingly Audition automatically updated to the latest version yesterday and I can no longer save my keyboard shortcuts. I save them in the shortcut window and when I go to apply a shortcut using the assigned key, nothing happens. When I go back into the shortcut window, the shortcut has disappeared. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Hi Everyone,I am BRAND new to Audition. I have a an audio file with some plosives in it. I checked Youtube on how to remove these. It showed using the FFT Filter. All of that makes sense, but, there is no way to apply the filter to my selection. Am I doing something wrong, or has Audition changed the way features work?I have included a screenshot of what I am experiencing.Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.Thank you, Matt

The lag started when I downloaded Adobe 2024, it lags when I record and when I'm viewing an audio track. Any help?

I have multi-track files created in Audition 3.0 and need to open them. Adobe Audition 2023 sent the following error message: Media Foundatkon reported an error when opening the file. The byte stream type of the given URL is unmsupported. Is there a way to open them?

I saved a file that I was working on last night in Adobe Audition, but when I went to open it this morning (going to File -> Open Recent) an error message popped up saying "Error: Media Foundation reported an error when opening the file. The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported." It doesn't seem like it should be due to an older version of Adobe, because I was just working on the file yesterday. I'd appreciate any help/suggestions people would give. Thanks -- Jake 

Hi there,I am new to digital audio and Audion, but I have successfully used it to shorten audio clipsto use in the videos I make.  Now, however, Audition is failing to remix for time.  If I wantto shorten a 3 minute song to 2 minutes, Audition just clips off the end of the song.  I also noticethat the yellow "splice marks" no longer appear on the timeline of a shortened song.  Any ideasas to what I am doing wrong?

Hello,  I have recorded myself and I am able to reduce the background "wind", but my microphone has recorded little "booms" when I talk, and I can't isolate them. It's pretty unpleasant to listen. I have found tutorials to remove bird sounds for example but these low-pitched "booms" don't appear distinctly on the spectral frequency display. Do you have any solution ?  Thanks

Hi All, I am seeking a solution to add silence to multiple parts of an audio track. Not possible to do it manually. I have tried the below but it did not work:Select all existing "silences" and resize them to a longer and uniform time. Only work for reducing.Mark all audio parts, but can only insert silence 1 by 1.Extract all audio parts as clips into multitrack, select all clips but can only insert silence 1 by 1. Does anyone know how can I workaround this issue? I am using Audition CC (13.0.13.46)

So, Audition was acting weird all day, it froze, then when I reloaded seemed to have reset my windows and entire history back to default, all my  presets are gone INCLUDING the ones that come with Audition.  Is there anyone with a solution here? This is ridiculous for as much as we pay for this software. I checked the presets files using import... LITERALLY NOTHING is there. Not even the ones that come with Audition.  What is going on? 

From the Adobe Audition CS6 manual:Video import formatsThe Waveform Editor lets you open the audio portion of video files in the formats below. The Multitrack Editor lets you insert the same file types and provides a preview in the Video panel.To access these video formats, QuickTime must be installed. To import additional formats, extend QuickTime support. For more information, see this article on the Apple website. http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_audition_qtformats_en AVIDVMOV (including files with up to 32 audio channels)MPEG-1MPEG-43GPP and 3GPP2 First of all, that link is long broken. The above is a mixture of containers and compression formats. AVI is a container, but there is no list of what codecs that can be in that container. The same with MOV. What formats can the MOV container have?

The "Error with file" alert did go away with version 23.6.1, but now I am getting this... I've looked for these alert(s) and cannot find them.  Other programs (such as Protools) save ALL the assetts in the appropriate folders (audio, fades, session, video) then CLOSES.  Closing Audition can be an ordeal - all the dialog boxes, "Audition is getting ready to quit,"  and pop-ups like the one above do not instill confidence. By asking if I want to replace every source file (one at a time) with the edited version from my session there is a high risk of erasing or replacing something that should not be changed.  So... 1) What does this warning mean and where can I find the alert state it's referring to?2) Other than when exporting, is there a preference or default for always saving every associated file within the session folder while leaving the source files alone?   Thanks for any advise you can provide! 

Yikes!  Build 24 seems like a big step back in performance.  I updated today and then rebooted.  Now Audition can no longer playback my multitracks without stalling and jittering, like it can't keep up.I'm not sure what I can do other than see if I can reinstall the prior version somehow.

i have this problem for a long time, every time I try recordig stuff in adobe audition, At first it’s all fine, but then every thing becomes fuzzy and distorted, but then it passes away, and then comes back, note it Does not affect the recording, it’s clear without distort, but When this wave comes Every this is distorted even the playback or in recording. I am frustrated how do I fix this ? Oh and I am using Audition ccwith aisov4

Hi Team,I have a need to apply different effects (dynamics, eq, pan etc) to a multi song live band recording. The band has 4 lead vocals/harmonies, twin electric guitars and a pair of keyboardists. Depending on which singer, guitar or keys is taking the lead, I need to pan, compress, reverb and eq each song differently but cannot work out how to apply a separate mix to each track without having to create a separate project for each song. I have found that applying changes in the mix window affects the whole timeline. I will also be dealing a multi cam live video recording which will be edited and synced with the separate multitrack audio recording. In Premiere Pro I can split the video clip and apply different colour grading and audio effects within that clip. This does not affect the clips either side. Is there a way to split a multitrack recording into separate songs and apply different effects to each song within a single timeline/project?. I hope I make sense and look forward to le

I  have a syncing problem - audio and wave file are not matching up. The precision of what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing is off by a very tiny margin. But enought to mess with my editing accuracy. If I place my cursor tightly in front of the word "Our" for instance, the word gets cut a bit rather that giving me a clean sound at the beginning of that word. This is a new problem after using AA for many many years. I have rebooted the computer, I have used AA 1.5 as an alternative, rebooting the software, and finding no change. I have tried to edit several different files, with the same result. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks very much!

I recently updated my system software to MacOS 14 Sonoma. Prior to updating I was running Adobe Audition 23.6.1.3 without any problems. I had set up a number of tweaks to Audition and then saved a backup of the 23.0 folder (as instructed elsewhere) for backup purposes.  When I found out that all of my tweaks were gone, I tried to go into my backup 23.0 folder and reinsert those updates but I could not figure out how to use the application.xml file I found there. I have also heard elsewhere that there are a range of other files that should be used.Any help on fixing all of this would be greatly appreciated.

Why is there no ACX plugin yet on Audition? ACX is THE standard for audiobooks and most other audio software including Audacity and Pro Tools include a plug-in to rapidly check mp3 files before uploading to ACX or you can go to ACX lab and have it checked free. Having it ON your editing platform is faster and more convenient.

Why does Audition default to saving as a .wav? I save as .mp3 for all my work and it's annoying that I have to select .mp3 every time

Adobe Audition is excellent, but one annoyance makes my job much longer. I'm a voiceover artist who does a lot of eLearning recording and the clients like the files to be split by file name - sometimes meaning I've got hundreds of files in the 'files' area of Audition.Please add the functionality to use the cursor keys to move through this list of files, updating the waveform view when the file is highlighted. At present, I have to double-click each file and as you can imagine going through a list of 100+ audio files by double-clicking each one is bloody annoying and time-consuming. Why do I need to go through each one? Well, I opened another thread for that.  Please add this functionality to save my sanity.

I'm very new to adobe. I'm using audition to edit audio from a video clip. I have figured out how to use the lasso tool to select a part of the audio I want to fix, then I used auto heal. However the auto heal is not staying on the clip. If I save the audio, it's just the original audio when I play it back. I can't figure out how to make the auto healed selection stay as part of the final product. I've watched videos where people use the auto heal tool and I'm not doing anything different as far as I can tell. My selection will also disappear if I click outside of the shape I lasso-ed, even though I already applied auto heal to it.

Hi, I've been recording podcasts for over a decade and when I started it was simple to edit as I used a Roland field recorder where the only talent speaking was me, and doing so on loction where background noise was desirable. Now I record a podcast with my partner in a 'studio' (background noise not desirable), which we video as well. Audio is recorded via two lavs on two Tascam DR10L units. I sync these two channels to the camera's audio, and then go through the painstaking task of manually ducking each track. This means cutting track one when track two is speaking, and vice versa. It works well but an hour-long podcast takes literally hours to edit this way. I've not done any auto-ducking on speech before and I am not sure if there is a feature in Premiere Pro or Audition that could assist me. Bear in mind the mics are picking each others' voices up, so I'm not sure an auto tool could differentiate between the talents, but before I go any further, is there a feature w
