Question

Noise Reduction altered when I save project?

I've been working on a video project's audio using dynamic link in Audition. I apply the noise reduction tool the same as many tutorials I've watched online have said too (capture noise print, redoing print for different clips, etc.) and apply it in what I believe is the multi track view. However, I saved my project and have opened it back up to find that all the audio is way worse now... totally different from what I was previewing when I had the project opened the first time. I looked up solutions but am confused because I'm not sure what view I am editing in... and according to the tutorials the view has to be wave. Do I have to finish the project in one sitting in order for this to work? Help!

Correct, really. You can't run NR in Multitrack view - never have been able to.

What you have to do is double click on the clip, and it will open the original file it's from in Waveform view (or just the clip if that's all there is), and it's this that NR has to operate on, not the non-destructive version you started with. When you're done with the NR in Waveform view you should save the changes, and then when you revert to Multitrack, the clip/file will be updated, and this should be accurately reflected in the files returned to Premiere.

So I've been doing it right, which I thought was the case. But there isn't a way to save and go back to it in Audition? Whenever I do that the clips are distorted even more than before, it seems like all the editing was discarded and replaced with something else. Is there anyway to save and come back with NR?

Only if you save a backup copy of the original file. This is because all editing operations in the Waveform view are destructive if you save the file with it's original name after you have applied an effect to it. SO I always do a Save As when I first open a file to edit and then save a new version suitably renamed at each stage ie. File1_Original.wav, File1_NR.wav, File1_NR_EQ.wav etc. throughout the process. Then you can go back to any stage and redo it.

Working in the Multitrack view is non destructive as long as you are using effects that can be carried out in real time. Processor intensive effects like the NR process can only really be carried out as a destructive edit. All those are listed in the Effects menu with (process) added to the name and are greyed out, and therefore not useable, in the Multitrack view.
