Audition 24.6.3.2, 2023 MBP M2 Pro, Sonoma 14.4.1, Samsung 4TB SSD
I've imported a WAV file into a new project, placed it into a multitrack session to trim the head and tail (church sermon), and exported a 192Kbps MP3, just under 23 minutes long. The MP3 is needed elsewhere as-is, but I do import the cleaned-up file back into my project and place it in the multitrack. The file shows up grayed out, doing some sort of conform process, with a time estimate that grows from just over an hour to nearly nine hours. I let the process run and, after about 45 seconds, the clip shows up normal and we're ready to work with it.
The first couple of times this happened, I force-quit Audition and exported a WAV file instead, but I'm trying to keep my year-long project folder to a reasonable size, hence the MP3. Today I let the process finish and all seems well, except for this apparent bug. Thoughts?
