Adobe Audition rendering (5k).

Report · Jun 13, 2018

Hello,

in the course of the last 3 years, I've downloaded the trial of Adobe Audition 3 times. In the end, I always give up going back to protools.

I love Audition for its UI and concept but on my monitor (5k) the rendering of the waveform and the spectral display is very slow and it's not possible to work.

I made some tests and I noticed that when the display is over 4,9k, Audition render is antialiased (the waveform and the spectral) and therefore it critically slow down.

On my LG monitor (3440x1440) it works fine. On the iMac 5k or another LG monitor (3840x1600) it's impossible to work. It lags and takes so much time to render the screen.

I'm going to work on a production which is complex and I would need to use Adobe suite to connect the different areas of work (video, audio etc) so Audition would be perfect. But it's not possible to use it at that speed.

My question is: is there any tool/option available to disable that high-quality antialiasing that increases so much the rendering time making impossible to work?

PS: I tried to test Audition on:

- an iMac Pro 8 core 4,2ghz with 64GB Ram and Radeon Pro Vega 64 with 16GB. SSD 1TB

- a Mac pro 8 core 3ghz with 64GB Ram and two GPU AMD FirePro D700, with 6GB

After three years of testing, it would be nice to finally switch to Adobe.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, is it normal that Adobe doesn't reply? Thanks.

Yes. This is a U2U forum, and the staff only reply if there's anything significant to say that we haven't. As far as your question is concerned, I don't know the answer, as I can't afford a monitor with that much resolution - well not a video monitor anyway; I spent the money on decent monitor speakers instead - more useful for me. But as far as I'm aware, there are no settings that will allow you to alter anything about the way video is displayed from an interlace POV. All the video options you get are in Edit>Preferences>Video, and I'm sure you've explored those, haven't you? If the devs have any information to add to this, I'm sure they will - when it's not the weekend...

Thanks a lot, Steve.

I hope they will reply.

The preferences in Edit>Preferences>Video (which now seems to be under view>video display) are related to an imported movie to be projected on an external video monitor. My issue is on the main display and is related to the resolution of the waveforms/clips in the multi-track and audio files.

That's why I guess it's a rendering problem. Honestly, I think Audition is a super powerful software. I really hope there's a solution to this issue.

And yes... Of course, I'm not expecting anybody from Adobe to reply during the week end

Thansk again for your reply,
