Audition is not recording sound

I am working on a piece where I talk for 2.41 seconds. Every thing was fine when I worked on recording yesterday. Today I cannot get the program to record anything. I mean it just stopped. The little red record button doesn't work. It doesn't even 'act' like its being selected. The other buttons seem to work, play, stop rewind, etc. I am working on a multi-track format and have seven tracks to record.

Correct answer SteveG_AudioMasters_

All a .sesx file does is to store the information about your session - nothing directly to do with the audio at all.

What should happen is that you pick a track to record on, and make sure that there's a valid signal source selected and showing in the input box; without that you won't be able to enable record at all:

So with these two tracks, it's only possible to record-enable the first track. The second one showing 'None' won't.

Go to the session mixer next to the multitrack layout on top. For each channel on top set default stereo input and master. Have master on extreme right set to default output. Worked for me.

What worked for me. I went into Preferences/Security & Privacy/Privacy/Microphone enable (check box) access for Adobe Audition.

Here's what works every time for me in AA 1.5.

Go to…

Options

Device Properties

In the pull down menu, make sure the correct "Slave Device" is selected.

Click on the box that says, "Internal Time Stamps"

Hit "okay" on the bottom right and you should be on your way!

I'm having a similar issue but nothing is solving my problem. I've reviewed both sound preferences for Audition (audio channel mapping, audio hardware selection, selecting the R button before recording, making sure a valid input was selected in a multitrack recording before recording) and Mac OS (when going to sound input my mic is selected and levels are detected in the OS). I cannot get any microphone to record in Audition (even internal laptop mic). I've also done a factory reset of Audition by holding shift upon launch and that hasn't resolved anything either. I'm able to record audio in Quicktime as a workaround temporarily but I need this issue resolved. Please advise.

Hi Matt,

I think the MIC is mono. Please create a mono from Channel menu and check if it helps.

I think it's going to take more than that...

I have a feeling that having the master clock set to the output device won't help. What options do you have there? Ideally you need an input source for it whilst recording, not an output source.

Thank you so very much!!!!!

In all my going through the tutorials no where did it mention the little "R" button. But now you have and I thank you.

One thing is that yesterday I saved it as a .sesx file. Should I be able to add on to a .sesx file or not?

It is properly set up.

What else might you suggest I look at?

First thing to do is make sure that if you are using the MME driver, that under Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware, you have a default input selected, and not 'none' - that would stop you recording anything at all.

If it's selected correctly there, then you may need to look at other settings on your sound device. Also I'm assuming from what you said that you are trying to record in Multitrack view. As a test, try recording in Waveform view and see if that works - we may get a clue from that.

If none of that works, report back.

I moved it to 'wave form' and it did record. So why not in multitrack?

Go to Edit>Preferences>Audio Channel Mapping, and make sure that in the default stereo input boxes (at the top) that 'none' isn't selected - whatever your sound device record input is should be selected there, and then when you arm the record button, you'll get that as the available input to select.
