Mic Problems with Audition Upgrade

I record podcasts using Adobe Audition, a Presonus Fire Studio mixer, a Heil PR 40 mic, Sony headphones, and Skype. I just upgraded Audition to 2018 and now I am having issues with my mic. I hear my voice back through by headphones. My mic is hyper sensitive to my breath and voice. It’s almost an echo but not quite. When I import a sesx file to edit, the same issue is heard until I click on the file to edit, and then things sound okay.

When I upgraded I had to reset all my preferences presets for recording and set them exactly as I had before. Thank you for your help.

    I gather that this is fixed...


    Hello Steve - Yes, the upgrade to Skype didn't play nice with the upgrade to Adobe Audition. But now I have another issues that's popped up.

    When I capture a segment of a wave form to use Effects> Noise Reduction Restoration > Capture Noise Print. And then I go to Effects  > Noise Reduction Restoration > Noise Reduciton (process) it has stoped working. I used to be able to to get rid of large segments within the wave form by doing this instead of doing it evry where it happens.

    Hi Mark.  The Lounge is a non technical forum, so I'll move your thread to the Audition forum.

      Unfortunately a search doesn't reveal the answer to this question, which has been asked a lot recently. But it's all to do with a default that was changed, almost certainly by accident (I hope...). The answer is contained very succinctly in this thread:

      New Update & now can not directly monitor? Way to remove an update?

      Don't worry about the title of it, incidentally!

      To try and make it even more succinct, go to Edit/Preferences/Multitrack and remove the tick beside "Enable Smart Monitoring".

      With Smart Monitoring turned on, Audition is sending your voice back to the Presonus but with the latency involved in a round trip via your computer.
