Exporting selected files adds comrpession

New Here ,
Jun 21, 2025 Jun 21, 2025

I'm having trouble saving selected files separately in Adobe Audition. When I right-click on the chosen files, there's no save option. Saving normally only saves the entire project. To get the 'Press OK to make a copy' prompt, I've had to export the selected files as a WAV file, then import that file back into the project. However, Adobe compresses and degrades my files during export, even when I choose WAV format. I need a way to select any clips I want and export them exactly as they are in the project, with lossless quality. Can you help me find a solution?

I also fried FLAC, but Adobe always compresses the audio.

Also, I don't seem to have the problem when it's not a multitrack session.

Also, my audio is peaking after it exports, and they all go over zero. I don't know why this is happening. When it's in the project, the levels are perfect.

The original file is in yellow, and the export is in purple above it. You can see that Adobe is changing the waveform on every export and ruining the audio.

I know how to export, but as you can see from the attached screenshots, Audition is causing issues with my exports. Despite having the correct settings, with levels at zero, every single export is being clipped. Can you help me resolve this problem? Yellow is the original before I export it, and purple is the export. I have no idea what Audition is destroying all my audio on export.

What are the settings on your  "Mix" bus?

I've never used the Mix Bus. I use Audition for Voice Acting. It's odd, as I don't experience this export problem when I don't use multitrack, and I've only started having this issue with multitrack exports recently.

The mix bus (formerly the "Master bus")  is created automatically when you create a multi-track session. All multi-track sessions have it.  The other tracks are routed through it—it's the "end of the signal path."

If the output volume  on the mix bus differs from the output volume on your tracks, the export will be affected. Check to see that mix volume is set to 0.

@CoinAgnostic 

Your latest screenshot shows the input panel for two of your tracks.  @Rag and Bone  was asking you to check the Ouput of the Mixer panel (it's accessed via a tab at the top of your multitrack screen.  It will show a series of faders, the one at the extreme right is the Master/Mix output fader.  That's the one that needs to be at 0.)
