Still having difficulty Creating Test Tones

https://forums.adobe.com/people/No+Friggin+Screen+Name  wrote I am still having an impossible difficulty creating test tones in Audition. I want to have 19 kHz and 20 kHz sine waves at 24/192 sampling. When I create the tones, the base tone is 1 kHz. I set the level at -5 dB. I set the multiplier to be 19 and 20 but it won't go above 12. I set the duration at 1 minute. When I play the tones, it clips. It will not play them at - 5 dB. Audition is some of the worst crap software I have ever used. Just impossible.

Blaming the software for one's own lack of understanding is, unfortunately, quite common, as you demonstrate.

If we look at the settings you are trying to use, we'd end up with the two frequencies on the same channel, and they will modulate each other - you'll end up with two effects. The first is, of course, amplitude modulation, and the second is straightforward dB addition. But if that's what you want, then you haven't gone about it very sensibly, I'm afraid. If you start with a base frequency of 19kHz, and use the correct multiplier, then generating the 20kHz signal is easy:

And you reduce the output amplitude by 6dB to take account of the dB addition.

If you want the 19 and 20kHz signals on separate channels, then you have to use the method explained to you ad nauseum on the other thread.

The tone generator is behaving exactly as the Laws of Physics say it should.

Finally, it listed the multipliers at 19 and 20, but when I play the tones, it is still clipped. When I save the tones and play it in another program, it is still clipped. What the hell is wrong with this?
