Hi.  I get the following message when I log into Adobe Audition.  Hoping someone can help me make correction thank you.

   "Audition's primary temp volume cannot be found.  Please review Audition's temp cache preferences."

Hi thanks for the reply!  I use Audition on a Mac.

I get the message that I noted whenever I open Audition.  There is a button for me to click "Ok" and when I do that everything opens up just fine.

I have not tried what you suggest yet, to hold down the Shift key as I double click Audition to open it.  Will this affect anything else in Audition, like any settings I have made for things like Presets.....I do not want to mess these up.

Again....thanks!  Tony


Yes, using Shift to start up Audition will set all the Preferences back to the default including any custom settings. However since Audition opens OK after the error message is acknowledged there should be any need to use the back to square one Shift key method. But do look in Audition's Preferences/Media and Data Cache to see where Audition thinks the Primary Temp folder is located. If you can post the location of the Primary Temp folder as shown under the Audition Audio Disk Cache heading someone may be able to suggest what is going wrong when you first boot into Audition.

Are you on a Mac or a PC? Does Audition actually open OK? Normally this setting is made within Preferences/Media and Disk Cache. If you cannot even open Audition try holding down the Shift key as you double click on Audition to open it. This should load Audition with all it's default settings.
