Why is my Audio so choppy?

Keep at it Jackson. Whether people really want to help you or not, you will learn and get there long as you just keep working on it. I'm sorry other people can be egotistical but you seem very bright. One day you'll be amazing and you'll be the one helping others learn and develop.

Some people aren't as experienced as others may be and it's not just about someone knowing how to describe their problem. If you are experienced then you should try a little harder to understand or help walk through explaining the problem instead of just saying you need more information. I got on this thread because I'm experiencing the same choppy issue. I get what they're trying to say and I don't understand why it's so hard for you to get it also. 

Imagine you were talking and every few seconds someone chops you in your throat and makes you pause in speech for a quick fraction of a second. Simple. 

If you're on here to really help then try a little harder to understand what's being asked. Everybody is not an expert and can't speak on your expert language. Just try harder to understand what's being asked and you'd be a lot more helpful.

Thank you

Ok, im sorry for calling you guys useless. And i know your trying to help me. Its just that this problem is ruining my videos as i cant record with this type of audio. When i go to contact support its shows i can call, use the forums, or go in a chat. But when i try to use chat it says, "please close and restart your browser to open another chat session". i close ans reopen my browser and it still says it. Heck, i RESTART MY PC and it still says it. Luckily i just "remade" my audition file and was able to fix the problem about the program shutting down. idk about the quietness problem though. Also if you guys forgive me (not gonna be surprised if you dont, which is ok) can you send me tutorials about how to make my mic sound the BEST it can be. AKA how to record and edit audio in Audition? Thanks!

Okay, we really need more details of your set up to provide any detailed help...Audition version, computer and operating system, the sound card/audio interface you're using and what exactly you're trying to record.

However, I have to say that both your symptoms sound like you have a mix of a buffer/latency setting set too low, other things running in background and grabbing the processor at times, probably at least one of them trying to use audio and grabbing the audio drivers on your system.  I'd suggest working through my list above with particular emphasis on getting rid of background programmes, upping the buffer size and downloading/using ASIO4ALL.

When you say "choppy" do you mean it's full of drop outs and freezes?

If so, there are some things you should do.

First off, reboot before starting any recording/mixing session.

Make sure there's NOTHING else running on your computer while you're working...this particularly includes internet, wifi and anti virus software.

Make sure system sounds are completely turned off.

If at all possible use a proper audio interface with a dedicated ASIO driver.  If you must use your onboard sound card, (bad idea, their quality sucks) try downloading and using ASIO4ALL as the driver.

Adjust the latency/buffer settings to as high a number as you can get away with without getting unacceptable latency.  If you're using your onboard sound card and MME drivers, this'll be in Audition on the Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware menu.  If you're using a proper sound card, it'll likely be in the set up menu for the sound card itself.

Finally, go through and set up your computer to optimise it for sound work.  This site is by Alesis but has some good advice that applies to any system:  Tips and tricks for music and computers
