Adobe Audition Not Recording Audio

Hello,

 

Sorry if this is a repost, but I couldn't find ANYTHING. I cannot get Audition to simply record my audio- not even from built-in input. I've made sure my sample rate is the same throughout, I made sure everything is connected, and I made sure the computer itself recognized the audio. Any idea on why I can't even get the meter input signal to show anything?

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

    Ok, so at my own expense, I'll give you the answer to my silly problem: My computer didn't give Audition permission to record audio. I don't think I would ever disallow that, so I'm unsure how it happened. But, in case this happens to anyone, check your privacy settings on your computer by going to system preferences, security & privacy, click microphone, and make sure Audition is checked off.

      Mine isn't working, either. It did for the first few minutes, but when I opened a new project, nothing. Everything in hardware settings was fine. There wasn't even an entry for it in mic privacy settings. Downloaded audacity and it worked like a champ, so guess which one I'm using for my project? Very disappointed.

        What interface are you using? We've just discovered something that will catch a lot of users out regarding Focusrite Scarletts, by letting them make one recording, and no more without rebooting. And this has nothing to do with Audition.

        My privacy and audio hardware settings are all OK, still no trace of recordings in Audition. Using Yeti USB mic

        Thanks very much nstasi914 for this reminder.  I've done this once before, long time ago, so forgot to check.  Have been processing prerecorded audio files, so hadn't noticed that Audition wasn't recording, or that it had not been acknowledged in the Privacy settings on my iMac.

        Thank you, thank you. Premiere Pro worked but not Audition because of this permission/privacy setting.

          THANK YOU!! I was so puzzled as to why my MOTU M2 worked recording audio with every app but was not recording audio with Adobe Audition. Fixed.

              I'm so glad I eventually found this post and thank goodess for the internet. I had only just installed Audition having previously been using several different audio apps and DAWs for a long while and was totally at a loss. I was checking matrix I/O settings, re-mapping channels on my audio interface etc. etc and getting more and more technically obsessed until I found this post, went in and looked at my privacy settings and BINGO - all working fine. WHO sets up an installer for an AUDIO application that, by default, is set to NOT record?!?!!! Don't know whether that's Apple or Adobe's fault but, anyway, thank you nstasi914. You've saved me from going mad!

              If the transport won't move, then you haven't connected Audition to any sound device successfully - it's as simple as that. Can you show us a screen-grab of your Audio Hardware page? (Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware).

               

              But if it simply won't record, then the chances are that if you are trying to record in Multitrack, that you haven't record-enabled a track and allocated a working input to it...

              Thanks for your response. I usually just make an audio file, but I tried multi-track, as well.
