Stops Recording

Audition CC 2017 randomly quits recording an audio file.  Usually after about 20 minutes.

I have Windows 10, Screen and Sleep are both turned off in forever mode.

Any ideas as to what is causing this?  No other application, including browser is running.

This started happening towards the middle of May.

Thanks

I kept seeing the windows is interupping audition audio settings, found on YouTube a tutorial on pro tools how to uninstall all of window audio drivers in the sound menu. Select speaker and everything enabled and right click and disable, even in recording tap, once you do that your AISO4all will take over everything and windows audio will now have no control

I'm afraid that's absolutely not true. ASIO4ALL provides a link between ASIO-based software engines - like Audition's - and Windows drivers. It does not bypass anything in the OS at all. It can't; if it did, it simply wouldn't work. When you use ASIO4ALL you are not only using ASIO4ALL, but every layer of the OS sound control as well, and that's where the problems usually arise.

The only way to bypass most of the OS as far as Windows and sound is concerned is to use a sound device with its own ASIO driver, provided by the manufacturer. This is indeed the recommended way to run Audition, and I can tell you from my own experience that failures to continue recording never occur if you use a system like this.

Waveform! It just cuts off at like 36:02 and makes some weird static noise, so only the first 36 mins of the recording plays.

super super late response (its now 2024).  I'm also having this issue and its on a file i literally just created and haven't even saved yet.  Its in waveform format and, despite the app indicating its still recording, when i go to play it back it only plays about half of the recording, which is only about a minute long.  

As far as these programmer responses go, I'm seeing more Adobe programmers criticizing the users and saying things like, and I'm paraphrasing here, "you're not admitting it" and "your teachers aren't doing enough" rather than actually helping people out.  For a completely separate issue, i just had a guy try to tell me that Audition is for professionals as if its impossible to learn this stuff unless you're already a professional.  I wonder how he learned his trade, must've been through osmosis because, according to that rationale, you can't learn through schooling.  As a film student i have to take this Intro to Digital Media Class, which relies heavily on official tutorials provided by the people who programmed and developed associated software to instruct new users on how to use the features of associated apps, and all i've gotten is pushback, gatekeeping, and personal criticism from the programmers who obviously don't know how to deal with customer-facing issues.  I'm getting better instructions from people on youtube who aren't all professionals either than fromt he actual people who made the software.  Supremely disappointed in the lack of customer service and respect.  No wonder I've heard of ProTools and even CuBase before i ever heard of Audition.

And I think you should read that response you got rather more carefully, because it's not what was said at all, and you have willfully misinterpreted it.

My Adobe stopped recording at 36 mins but it kept recording for an HR worth of my podcast. Where is the rest of my recording?

I'm afraid that this doesn't make sense. If it stopped recording, it stopped recording and didn't continue. Audition isn't coded to behave like Shrodinger's cat!

If Audition stopped recording on its own, and wasn't in timed recording mode (you see a little clock by the record button, and get an extra timing screen when you start to record), then technically, it's crashed. If this is the case, then you need to follow the instructions here: Audition Crashed. Now what? paying particular attention to the second post, which tells you where to send the logs, and why.

I was recording a podcast episode and I recorded over an hour worth. Yet, only 36 minutes was recorded but it kept recording so I cannot find the rest .

I'm having the same problem. It stops recording after a minute. I have space on my harddrive.

In both cases, which operating system?

Windows 10.   The strange thing is that up until Friday I'd been recording long pieces of audio (90 mins at least) with no problem.

When you say 'quits recording', what actually happens? Do you get a crash?

Hi Steve!

No it does not crash.  It does just that: it stops.  I am a v-o and the computer is outside of my vision, so I double check after voicing--and I noticed it is no longer recording.  So to be safe I hit File, New, Audio File to record a second time.

Program seems to run everything else just fine, it just randomly will stop recording.

I hope this is clear!

It doesn't normally do that at all - indeed quite extensive steps are taken to make sure it doesn't, by giving the recording process very high machine priority; it would take something pretty catastrophic to cause it to stop.

Still don't know enough about what you're doing though. Is this a multi-track recording or a waveform view one? Waveform view recordings go to a temporary disk before being written to their final destination, and if the temp file location fills up, then yes, recording has to stop because there's nowhere to put it.

I'm assuming that you haven't got it in timed recording mode, of course - that's generally pretty obvious to spot.
