Audition crashing often since update to 23.3

[Jacksonator]

Since the update 2 days ago, Audition crashes at least once a day (it has crashed 5 times for me since updating). Clearly, something is amiss in the update. I strongly urge users to wait until the update has been fixed before updating.

Crash occurs when saving file or when moving from waveform to multitrck view. The "report to Adobe" crash dialog pops up and Audition abruptly closes. 

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

There are other problems with the new release as well - the marker system isn't working properly. Hopefully all of this will be rectified soon. If it's any help, the current Beta release appears to be fine (as far as I've checked...)

[Jacksonator]

Thanks, maybe I'll check out the beta. This crashing is ridiculous. 

[Jacksonator]

NOPE. The beta is even worse, crashing on my first attempted save. Given the enormous expense of the Adobe suite I can't believe how janky these updates are. 

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

If you can locate the crash log (accessible under the Help menu) and post the text into this thread, we might be able to see what's actually caused the crash...

[Jacksonator]

I am pasting the only two logs, both from yesterday, that appear in the folder "logs"--if there are other locations for older logs that would have captured the other incidents, please tell me where to find them.

The tick count goes up considerably when Media Encoder is mentioned, and the crash appears to happen - do you have it installed, and is it the most up to date one?

[Jacksonator]

All Adobe apps are up to date. I have the full suite, and I have them update automatically. Media Encoder is likewise at its latest release.

[Jacksonator]

One thing I've noticed is that Adobe installs new apps but keeps the old ones in place. I see two instances of Media Encoder listed under Apps, the latest (23.2.1) and the prior one (22.6.4). I also see multiple installations of Audition (and other programs). Is it safe to delete these other instances? And either way, could they cause a problem?

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

The thing about Audition - and it's always been like this - is that all versions will co-exist quite happily on the same machine. And by and large, they'll all open older files, with a slight caveat about much earlier session files. (ses not sesx, and even they can be converted). The same cannot be said for Premiere in the same way though. You can't open more recent sessions with an older version, which is something of a pain when the current version has significant failures about it (which it does at present).

So what do you keep? I'd say that for most users, the current and the previous version. At least this way, if you end up in the present mess, you've got a working one to fall back on. This is essentially what I do with beta versions, but with Audition itself I also keep a much earlier 32-bit version so that I can easily run a couple of 32-bit plugins that will never be converted, quite easily .

[Jacksonator]

Thank you. I'll use the old version until they fix the current one. Adobe keeps making it harder and harder for me to justify using their very expensive software when every other release is riddled with problems.
