Adobe CC Recording Issue 7-26-24

[Charlie Wilde]

I've been using CC without too many issues for a couple years. Then today, my recording sounded like this! (Attached.) It had been working fine, until it didn't. I changed no settings or anything. I don't have the technichal vocabulary to desribe what is "happening" to this sound file, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Note: I've rebooted my PC three times, tried it with no other browsers or programs running, and that didn't help. Thanks in advance!

Was this in Waveform view, or a Multitrack recording?

Hi Steve,

Yes, this was a .wav file and not part of a session. The "save as" was Wave PCM format, 44100 Hz Stereo, 16 bit... and Wave Uncompressed 16-bit Integer

Well, I have to say that it sounds like a temp file problem. All recording in Waveform view goes to a temp file initially, and isn't written to the final file until you save it. Ideally your temp drive should be on a drive of its own (like an external usb drive), but just relocating it to a new folder in a different location may help - the default option is rarely ideal. You can alter this in Edit>Preferences>Audition Audio Disk Cache by browsing for a new location from there. You will have to restart Audition for this to take effect.

Anyway, try that first. If it makes no difference, report back.
