Question

Playhead is moving but nothing is recording

I am trying to do a simple, mono recording that I've done dozens of times, but for some reason Adobe won't record. When I click the record button, the playhead moves but nothing records (no waveform). My Sample Rate is 48000, Channels: Mono, Bit Depth: 16. I checked my audio hardware settings, and the input and ouptut devices are as they should be. The microphone (Yeti Blue) is lit up, so I know it is connected. Gain is turned up. Mute button is not on. My computer's privacy settings aren't preventing Audition from accessing the microphone, and the microphone array settings are normal. The Audition version I am running is Build 22.1.1.23. Any other ideas I can try?

I finally found the solution online! On my PC, I  went to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. I right-clicked on the microphone and clicked Removed Device. I then unplugged the microphone and re-plugged it in, causing the drivers to reinstall. Voila! It now works!

Just a little short of two crucial bits of information here - Mac or PC, and is this in Waveform or Multitrack?

I am having exactly the same problem. Until someone comes along with a fix, I've been recording in Audacity then opening the file in Auditon for editing as I need to get some work done.
