Premiere Pro to Audition Sending Only Single Waveform Not Multitrack

I am attempting to edit the audio of my video in Audition, but when I send from Premiere to Audition it only shows as 1 single master waveform in the "Waveform Editor" panel. It does not open or show up in the "Multitrack Editor" panel.

Here is my process, maybe I am missing something:

While in Premiere, I right-click the sequence in the project panel. Click "Edit in Adobe Audition" then "Sequence"

In the "Edit in Adobe Audition" pop up my settings are as follows:

I click "OK"

It "Prepares Sequence Data" and then loads into Audition. Audition opens up and the "Waveform Editor" has 1 single track in it that has all the audio tracks "flattened" into one waveform track.

Going to the "Multitrack Editor" panel, it is empty. And I am unable to edit my audio.

All the tutorial videos I have followed show same steps but result in multiple tracks in the "Multitrack Editor" panel. I think I might be doing something wrong, or a setting is off. All my programs are up to date with the lates Adobe CC updates as of this posting. Please help. Thank you.

    We're currently working on improving stuff in this area. If anyone still has a prproj which didn't transfer to Audition correctly, please upload the prproj somewhere and send the URL to audbugs@adobe.com. Please reference this forum thread for context.

    I've encountered this bug around once a week for the last year... this is a consistent part of my workflow and I always expect to encounter an issue here.

    Sometimes locking/unlocking tracks helps get the sequence through to a multitrack. Sometimes Enabling/Disabling Clips helps. Sometimes setting or clearing in/out points helps. But it's never the same fix that works every time for me.

    Today I updated Audition and that helped. Thanks travisb63341725​ for the reminder to check the simple solution first! Haha.

    Cheers everybody, and happy mixing.

    Was having this problem this morning and saw this post. I didn't see the solution I found in here, so thought I'd add it in. I realised that my editor had updated Premiere but not Audition. Once both apps were updated to latest versions the process worked again. Hope it helps.

      Facepalm! Thanks Travis, just checked and my Audition wasn't up to date. I updated and now it's working. Thanks!

      There you go! It always pays to make sure that you have both the latest versions.

      I am having this problem now, tried all the workarounds but I only get a waveform every time. I did sent the project to audbugs, hope it helps!

      If you have any news, I would like to receive an e-mail. Thanks!

      This problem is persisting no matter what workaround I try. I am really tired of having to implement workarounds for projects in Premiere/Audition/After Effects every time there is an update on any of these three programmes. Adobe please get your **** together.

      I've sent files to audbugs@adobe.com via wetransfer and would like an answer asap. Deadline is monday.

      Unfortunately you are unlikely to get an answer from the Developers over the weekend. Like most businesses they close down for the weekend. Also in some parts of the world they may be taking Monday off as well as a Mayday Holiday.

      I had the same problem just now, and found a quick fix. Here's what i did

      1. I did have some locked audio layers in PPro. I unlocked them and saved the project, then i quit Premiere

      2. Quit audition

      3. Navigate to wherever the folder "Adobe Audition Interchange" was created by your last Edit In Adobe Audition action. Then delete that folder.

      4. Open Premiere and do Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition as you normally would

      5. Audition pops up with entire timeline structure intact in multitrack editing mode, just as it should

      that workaround worked for me. I hope it does you too

      Cheers

        I had the same issue re having one mixed down wave form track.

        I followed this advise:

        1. I did have some locked audio layers in PPro. I unlocked them and saved the project, then i quit Premiere

        2. Quit audition

        3. Navigate to wherever the folder "Adobe Audition Interchange" was created by your last Edit In Adobe Audition action. Then delete that folder.

        4. Open Premiere and do Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition as you normally would

        5. Audition pops up with entire timeline structure intact in multitrack editing mode, just as it should

        And it worked : )

        If you have any audio tracks locked in Premiere, the sequence will open in Audition as a single waveform.

        Unlock all audio tracks in Premiere before sending the sequence to Audition.

          No, Janne Laiho​'s suggestion didn't work for me at all. This still seems like quite a nasty bug, Stefan Gruenwedel​.

          nathans69155385​, did you ever figure this out? I'm running into the same issue now. It seems like some sort of ridiculous bug [or sick joke] that sending a sequence from Premiere to Audition via Dynamic link would result in one mixed down track a whole sequence.

          I'm experiencing this with Premiere 11.1.2 (22) and Audition 10.1.1.11.

          Out of curiosity, are you on Windows or a MAC OS?  FYI, I'm on Windows and not having this problem.
