Audition is not recording sound

Enthusiast ,
Sep 19, 2016 Sep 19, 2016

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.

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:

Track controls 2.JPG

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

Thank you so much! Everything I could find online was about the Audio Hardware Preferences, no one else mentioned to check your security settings to grant access to Audition!

Very helpful.... I couldnt figure it out as I am having the same issue and your comment led me to look on the right hand control panel in multi track and I found where my Input was select as none.  I changed it and wah-lah.  Thanks for your contribution to this thread

I also had this issue. Try this :-

 

Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware  change device class from mme to WASAPI. It worked for me hope it will help you too 🙂

No, do not do that. WASAPI is an obsolete driver model that causes more problems than it can ever solve.

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!

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

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.
