Audition

I have been asked to begin exporting episodes of a podcast that I edit in .aac format to meet the requirements of a new hosting service. However, Audition will not let me do so. When I select “MPEG 2-AAC (*.aac)” in the Format dropdown, I get a yellow warning sign next to the “OK” button that reads “The currently selected filter cannot save all files in the needed format” which is preventing me from progressing. I have tried a few things.I exported the file as an .mp3 and then opened it in Audition and exported that file as an .aac file. This was rejected by the host, saying that it was not encoded as an .aac file. I used Adobe Media Encoder to convert the .mp3 file to .aac. This was rejected by the host with the message “This file has an M4A extension but it does not appear to be an M4A file based on its contents.” Any help on how to proceed with exporting the file as .aac would be appreciated. Included below is a screenshot of the Export Multitrack Mixdown dialog box. 

Audition 24.*.*windows 64 bit. Every time i click on of off a file it loads a new set of markers for the project. one for the timeline then ones for the file selected.This is, I believe causeing some issues, and after some time the software starts to lock up, show fonts weirdly and not even print the menu text on screen. Until it locks up fully and crashes. ( iusually save and quit now before this happens - every 15-40 minutes)Can we get a toggle to turn of file markers and only display timeline ones. Please?I do not need markers on indvdual files. It's really effecting my workflow.  

I’m going through and updating some of my Favorites for better naming and identification/order. However, unless I’m blind there is seemingly no way to do so. I’m going into Favorites > Edit Favorites.Someone please tell me I’m missing something, because if not it’s absolutely crazy there’s no way to do this.

Hi,I've had this problem for three weeks now and I don't have a clue how to solve it (my Google fu probably isn't strong enough). This is the situation:1. I open audition and press the record button. In the 'New Audio File' I click on 'OK' and the recording starts. But the audio is a flat line...there's no waveform, nothing. And of course, if I play the recorded sound there is no sound. But the recording does start without problems.2. If I enter the 'Audio Hardware...' in Preferences it says the Default Input is the 'Built-In Microphone' and 'Built-in Output' for the output. The Master-clock is at 'Built-in Output', I/O at 512 Samples and Sample Rate at 44100Hz.3. If I connect our 2i2 Scarlett USB with a condenser microphone, it's the same. So I first pick the 2i2 under the Default Input and the 'Built-in Output' under output. Still a flat line and no audio.4. If I open the new macOS app 'Voice Memos' and hit the record button, the program does record audio and I can play it back as no

Audition spectral frequency and pitch seem to be pretty bad at identifying the  correct octave of low bass guitar notes. The open E on a four string bass guitar is 41 Hz, the lowest G is 49 Hz.  These correspond to E1 and G1 of a piano-based pitch nomenclature (used in the scale of Spectral Pitch view).  But when I analyze a bass guitar part I often see the ‘main’ (most powerful) notes are indicated as E2 and G2 in frequency and pitch spectra, even though, for sure, E1 and G1 are the notes being played on the guitar.  Sometimes the E1 is virtually invisible, even though it is certainly the low open E string being struck. Certainly a bass parts can have a considerable amount of upper harmonics, (eg a Rickenabcker bass using roundwound strings)  but Audition is completely failing to indicate the correct octave of the actual struck note.  I have tried increasing the spectral resolution, even at maximum it’s getting the octave wrong.Is this a known issue?  AI tells me that Audition  spectr

I'm having trouble converting my SESX file to an MP3. I've followed all the steps of a bunch of different videos I've seen and can't seem to get it right. I got to Export then Multitrack Mixdown to select the entire session and it doesnt allow to choose that option. I've seen that it needs to be "master" but when I go to my audio hardware it doesnt show anything that says something like that. Once I was done recording I saved the file and disconnected my aggregate device of my microphones and closed adobe audition. I eventually reopneed the file and haven't gotten it to export as an MP3. I am new to this program and any information or steps that can help me would be very appreciated. 

Enhance Speech on the Adobe Podcast site is amazing. BUT...my enterprise IT rules won’t let us upload audio to that site, so it’s useless to us. Adobe has built that feature into Premier (video editor) but not Audition (audio editor) and that is crazy. Why???

When exporting a multitrack as an OMF file, it cancels out after a while and says “Clip duration is longer than source.” I see several past conversations but no final solve or answer. People in the past said they thought it was stretched clips, but it seems it wasn’t. Does anyone know how to fix this or what’s really causing it? It’s preventing me from exporting to an OMF file. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you so much!-David​​​​​​​

Hello. I am a voice actor who records in mono with 4800 sample rate and a bit depth of 24. Lately I am getting am incessant click-click-clicking on all recordings! A noise reduction takes care of most of it, but I can still hear it at the beginning and end of  pieces of vocals. I’ve tried rebooting my Macbook, rebooting Audition, unplugging and re-plugging all wires, and changing sample and bit rates. Nothing seems to work! I would ne greatly appreciative if someone could help he get rid of this problem. Thanks so much. I’m attaching a screenshot of the spectral Frequency Display so you can see a visual of the problem.  EDIT: I’ve just discovered that the problem DOES NOT HAPPEN when I use my laptop’s built in microphone!! My audio converter is only about a year or so old, the mic is about 6 years old 

I have a .csv listing my marker names, start, duration, cue, and description.The .csv should be able to be imported, but Audition refuses to accept it. So I have a few questions:-Can the markers be imported to a session?-My timeline is BPM, does it have to be a timecode, like 00:00:00? My spreadsheet is BPM such as 15:1.00-What are the columns named? I have seen so many varieties, some with an "end" column some without, etc. Does anyone know the exact column names and which ones we need?-Is there an easier way to make markers in a session? For my current project I would like every quarter beat to have a marker, but doing it by hand seems so unnecessary and time-consuming.

I have created 60 tracks in a single multitrack session. I want to save each track as a separate .aiff file. What is the best, most efficient way to do this? 

Ok, couple months ago, the mandatory computer update happened.  Adobe Audition would not open.  After 3 computer techs, and an online “Answer guy”, and after uninstalling and installing drivers for M Audio 192/6 several times, I can open the program, but I’m not getting any sound out of the normal M Audio settings on the interface.  I can hear whatever I’m inputting, and I can record it, but it comes out in mono.  If I turn the USB/Direct knob off, there is no sound.  If I open a previously recorded session, everything appears normal - everything plays, pannings are there, stereo’d tracks are stereo.  So, no sound unless I turn up the USB/Direct knob, and anything I listen to or record will be mono.  I’ve exhaustingly looked at the Hardware setup, everything looks normal, same for the computer sound and speaker settings - everything looks right.  This is after about 3 years and hundreds of sessions without problems.  Only after the update did all this bs start.

So, I edit audiobooks, and a big part of this is going through the playback and making minor adjustments as it continues to play. I have been using Audition 2017 for years but I recently upgraded to 2024 because 2017 has all sorts of weird bugs that cause it to crash.  Mostly everything is good but for some reason in newer versions they have changed the auto-scroll behaviour, such that if you take any action during playback, it disables auto scroll, and you have to re-enable it by pressing A.  This is infinitely infuriating because it means every time I delete a little space or paste a selection in, the auto scroll pauses and unless I press A every time, the cursor just trails off the end of the screen.  This change is not at all useful and is merely a nuisance.  How can I revert the behaviour to the intuitive way it used to be?  (And if it’s not possible to revert to the old system, can you please add a toggle to the options menu so that it is possible?) Thank you. 

Mac Audition 2024. If I try to use batch process with Export checked, it completely screws up the metadata with some random metadata from files that aren't even open. Doesn't matter if a favorite is selected or not. I don't even know how it's finding that metadata to load. The temp and media cache locations have been completely cleared.

I have to think this is a bug. When I edit and save something in Audition, instead of just adjusting the Data Modified and keeping the Date Created (like Izotope RX and XLD do for example), it overwrites the Date Created with the current date/time. I can't have this happen. What's going on?

I use Ozone as a VST inside Audition and have a bunch of presets saved for tracks I’ve worked on. However out of nowhere they’re all gone.If I make a new preset I see it in the dropdown list.If I look in the EffectPresets.xml file, both the old ones and the new ones I created are there.What happened, and how can I get them back?Intel MacOS Sequoia 15.x, Audition 2026

I have an MP3 file that I imported from atape using reshow cassete.the file contains 14 songs Can Audition recognise each and split in individual files?

I was trying to generate a logarithmic sweep (log sweep) signal. Specifically, I wanted to create a log sweep starting at 50 Hz and sweeping up to 15 kHz over 5 seconds, while maintaining a constant signal level of 0 dBFS from start to end.Of course, I set up a 48 kHz sample rate with 32-bit float. However, when I check the generated file, the sweep clearly exceeds the intended 15 kHz limit and continues all the way up to nearly 20 kHz. Additionally, once it goes beyond 20 kHz, the level drops by about 3 dB and the signal continues at that reduced amplitude.This issue doesn’t occur in other audio editing programs. I also tested it with Python code, and there were no such problems. So I’m wondering — why does this only happen in Adobe Audition?

Markers is on timeline, but they are all (overlap) on the left of the timeline. I could not find the way to fix it, please help. 

I am editing and mixing an album of classical music that I recorded over the course of a week. I have finished editing every piece, and every piece has its own multitrack session. Each session contains 12 tracks (mics), and each track contains 20-50 splices, depending on the piece. Each splice may reference a different file of audio recorded in the initial multitrack session (there were lots of stops and starts so they could listen back to their takes). I assume this is pretty standard so far. I need to figure out the best way to export these tracks WITHOUT effects and mixing. Since I tend to mix as I go, each session and each track has active effects, gain adjustments, and stereo panning adjustments, depending on the track. I have maxed out what my MacBook Pro can handle before slowing to a painful chug. My goal is to export each track AS IS with no effects, no gain adjustments, no stereo panning. Then, each track will become a single file that I can work with more easily. I can then

This is the my furst day with the bew audition.  I used ver 3.01 until now. Set the program up to use the 'what you hear' device as input.  The levels aree very low and it seems just the noise is recorded?  Wat am I doing wrong?

Audition crashes trying to open Cedar DNS One, which has an iLok licence.. It’s instant, and generates a standard error message. All other VST 3 plugins are fine, and Cedar works fine in Audacity. My Audition is 2024, so should be compatible with DNS

Returned to work from vacation to find Audition had updated itself while I was away. New version is 26.0.0.56 Build. When I try to open sessions I produced in Audition 25.3.0.71, Audition comes up with the Can’t find all Media pop-up and wants me to link to the Media. When I try to link media (even if I manually try to link the media by right-clicking on the clip and selecting Link Media, it doesn’t work. I cannot seem to open old sessions with the new 2026 version. In my workplace, (radio station) I have to save all sessions to a OneDrive, accessible to all producers across the country, so anyone can work on anything. I have not tried to open an old session from my local HDD. (yet) I have reverted back to Audition 2025 so I can complete my work. Audition 2025 still opens everything normally… even from the Company OneDrive. 

My Mac is hanging when attempting to open any audio app.When attempting to open any Audio app on my Mac, i’m getting very long stalls.Audition stalls at “Initializing (AUui)” but will load after about five minutes.Reaper stalls at “creating Midi client”...I haven’t waited to see if it eventually opens.GarageBand opens, but reports “Error initializing CoreMidi” and warns “MIdi Services not available.”and the Apple Midi Setup stalls when Window>Show Midi Studio is chosen. I’ve cleared any caches I could find, deleted prefs, and replaced my Library/Audio folder with a TimeMachine backup, but the issue persists. I’ve unplugged my vocaster and my Korg nanoKontrol and deleted midi drivers. Any tips?Apple M2 Max,  OS 15.7.1
