Audition not reading all inputs on Zoom H6

Trying to use my ZOOM H6 as an audio interface with Adobe Audition.

The H6 is setup correctly and I'm seeing levels on the H6.

Audio Hardware is set to the ZOOM.

When I go into Audition and go to add the mono track and set the input (Mono> ) it's only showing 2 options:

( [ 01M] Mic (ZOOM H Series Multi Track Audio) 1

[ 02M] Mic (ZOOM H Series Multi Track Audio) 2 )

This should be showing like 6 inputs not just 2.

It's not showing any of the other inputs and no matter where I plug in my mic, it doesn't pick it up or any audio.

I've updated the drivers (H/F Series ASIO Driver + H/F Series Multi-Track Driver and still NOTHING.

Any suggestions?

Can you post a screen-grab of your Audition Audio Hardware settings page?

Steve,

I use my Zoom H6 as an audio interface for a Mac. In a multitrack session, the H6 stereo microphone shows up on the Audition mixer no problems. I am wanting to use my Røde studio microphone via one of the XLR inputs on the H6. The software recognises I have an H6 plugged in, on the H6 I can see the input from the mike, but nothing shows up on the Audition mixer, despite having selected the appropriate input via the AUdition mixer. I must be missing something obvious, but can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help!

My joy was very shortlived. I literally did no more than plug in some monitoring headphones in the headphone output and tried a second time to record of the mike in input 3, but nothing to hear, whilst just a few minutes ago it was recording.

This sounds as though it's an 'active sensing' issue, but I don't know for sure whether Macs actually do that. Also, I have to say that Zooms behave strangely as input devices; I have here a H4N, and nothing I can do with it on this laptop will let me record from any of its inputs, whatever I do, and however 'correct' the setup looks. Fortunately I don't care, but it is a little intriguing.

But you might like to read this, as far as H6Ns being an interface is concerned - primarily the italicised bit:

Yeah Steve,

Interesting I switched to Stereo mix mode (instead of 6 track) and it now works. I suspect there is a bug in the software of the H6. I am going to write to Zoom and see what the say.

Thanks for your interest and help

Regards,

Robert
