Question

Inferior audio quality upon export

I'm pretty new to Adobe Audition and this is my first post, so be gentle with me.  I'm here to learn.  Google searching yielded no help.  I know I'm at the mercy of people who know this application inside and out.  I don't.  I'm teaching myself as I go.

 

Consistently, I find that when I play WAV files in Adobe Audition, the audio is dynamic.  However, when I export, the quality isn't the same.

 

I have been using Audition to Time Stretch in order to beat match tracks.  At most, the time stretch is about 3%.  Again, it sounds wonderful in Audition.  Then when I export, it's not as good.

 

My export settings are Same as Source as a WAV file.

 

What are my missing steps to yield best results?  And thank you for your patience.

Sorry, I've got nothing.

I don't even hear the quality loss that you do....listening through Rode NTH-100 headphones.

But I'm not a sound professional. 

Perhaps some one with better ears can help you.  🙂

Yeah there's a big difference.  The original file is more dynamic and spatial the the Time Stretch export from Audition.

After some careful analysis, it is in fact the Time Stretch that is degrading the quality.  What extra steps might be required to prevent this or is this a limitation of the software?  Is ProTools better?

Can you give us before and after example files, and a screenshot of your export settings?
