Persistent software bug in Audition when working with larger files?

[Oscar35199136c85r]

I work with 20-30 minute audio files. The voiceover is good, but somehow audition tends to jumble words within the file? At first I thought my VO artist was making mistakes, or perhaps I was cutting clips wrongly, but I just checked it in an older render and it's Audition ruining my voice over clips. It happens 2-3 times per project, and it also happens retroactively. So I'd have linearly listened to the entire file, confirmed it's okay, press save, and then by the time the final product is ready it turns out Audition changed the audio at minute 2 or something. It jumbles words, mixes them up, etc.

It completely destroyed my workflow, taking dozens of hours at this point. Is there any way to fix it? I think I'll downgrade to Audition 24 since I didn't have that much trouble in that version, but I'm quite pissed off such a glaringly obvious bug has been a part of Audition for months (judging by other posts).

I've never experienced this glitch. I haven't noticed other posts related to this either, but that means nothing.

Do the errors re-appear at the same point if you close and re-open the file? If not, this problem could be the result of disk read errors.

What happens if you use a different storage device? Any difference?

When this happens it's usually a problem with the temp file. This has been noted as an issue before, and generally it's the OS interfering with another file in the same location, or some other sort of interruption there that causes this to happen. Fortunately there's a fairly straightforward way of eliminating this sort of problem, and that's to move your temp file to a location that the OS can't/won't touch.

On my DAW I have a separate HD set aside for temp files, and as well as this I limit the number of undos that can be saved (that's what the temp file is used for in editing - I have it set to 3). So my suggestion is to try this first, and see how much difference it makes. If you are using a laptop, then a USB external drive will do fine - an SSD would be even better, because generally they are faster.

Edit>Preferences>Data for the numner of saves, and Edit>Preferences>Media and Disk Cache for the location. It's only the primary temp location you are bothered about - the secondary one appears to make no difference in this situation.

Well I'd definitely take Steve's suggestions first.
