    This is still happening with Audition 2021 v14.1, running on Cataline 10.15.7. Also when I import media they are showing as offline. Linking is not working either...

    Unfortunately I run into the same problem. But now on a Mac (OS Catalina 10.15.7), Audition 13.0.11.38.

     

    What happens is that a multitrack session can't be saved. The path for the session to be saved on exists. I've tried several which work fine for all other applications.

     

    I can save it as another file, but when I try to edit that file, it shows Apple's infamous 'Beachball of Death'. In the bottom left corner Audition states 'Calculating Playback'.

     

     

    I've tried both the standard template that I use (for a Rodecaster Pro) and creating a session without a template.

    The template is saved in the standard folder (Creative Cloud/Audition/Templates).

    I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing Audition, but I keep getting the same problem. It means no recording can be used for editing.

    For me that is saddest part, in that situation I have to restart the Adobe Audition and my work that is not saved will be gone forever.

    Didn't it tell you what the problem was? Without that information, we are clueless...

    No, that was the only message I got when I tried to save the session. Also when I went into the folder (C Drive) where I wanted to save the project, the was a folder with the same name of the project I wanted to create (example: started Audition, went to file, new multitrack session. Popup window to name the project and location. When I went to file save or save as, I got the message "Audition encountered a problem trying to perform the operation".) That was it. I'm clueless too.

    What that sounds like is that your Default template (the one called 'None') has got damaged, somehow. With the other templates, it's correct that all of the other settings are greyed out - that's the way it works.

     

    What the template called 'None' has in it is a 6-track session at 44.1k, 32bit (float), stereo and importantly, a valid path to save the session to. If you try to open a session without a valid save location then yes, I can see exactly why it wouldn't save correctly!

     

    I don't see why you shouldn't be able to recreate the 'None' template - just create a new template and save it with that name - it should ask whether you want to overwrite the original, and you just say yes.


    Thanks, how would I create a new template?
