Question

Adobe Audition wont let me record even after choosing the exact same audio settings!

Last night I got about half way through recording my song. When I woke up this morning to finish it, I found that the red record button and the arm track button on the audio track were both faded out and I was unable to press them. Even after messing around with the audio hardware for about an hour, switching the input back and forth from the built in input to the usb mic I have did nothing. I was told that if i rename the adobe 4.0 folder it would reset the settings; I did that to no success. How can I finish my song?? Very frusturating, please help.

Thanks!

If the transport control is greyed out, it means that whatever you are using as an audio device isn't connected to Audition any more. If it records in waveform and not multitrack, then check the hardware multitrack settings and make sure that they are the same as the waveform ones as far as the device is concerned.

Both the "R" and the "I" are faded out on the audio track and i am unable to arm it, is this the transport control? I understand what you are saying, but how exactly do I make sure the audio settings are the same for both the multi track and the wave form? When I go to preferences>audio hardware the settings are the same no matter if I have waveform selected or Multitrack selected. Is there another page of settings that I should modify?

thanks

Also, I am able to record if I open up a new multi track session.

Also, I am able to record on the waveform section, and not on the multitrack section. This is very odd, maybe thre is some setting I have to change or something.
