Currently has bugs in it.

Thanks

You can revert to the previous version from within the Adobe Creative Cloud app.

Just click on 'Previous Versions' to show the earlier one and click on Install.

[davidwsaunders]

Actually you can't

@ryclark Your image your referencing is from an old version of CC and is not the current version every would be on.

Actually I think it's yours that's out of date. I just did an upgrade check on the app, so it's bang up to date, and this is what it shows:

Sigh. How do I update my CC app itself? I clicked "check for app updates" and it just shows me individual apps that can be updated...

[MusicConductor]

Open the CC Desktop App, and in the upper right corner, look for the "gear" icon and a small dropdown arrow to the right of it.  Once you click that, you'll see menu options, and the second one is to check for CC App updates.

[JonahOS]

Thank you for your swift response! It turns out I have the most current version of CC.

I turns out that I had a search filter applied so that it only showed "video" apps. However, when a search filter is applied, it doesn't allow you to click the see previous versions, so, I saw the little "video" filter button but didn't register it as anything because I thought filters might just go away by default but they are sticky. So, for anyone else reading this thread, if you have a search filter on, you won't be able to click on previous versions. Odd.

I understand this is an old thread, but is there a link where I can find the old versions of Adobe Audition CC and their corresponding release dates? I'm would like to download a specific version that was released somewhere around  Oct 2017. I'm trying to revisit a previous mix session for re-edits/mixing and the latest 2018 update and the 2017.1.1 release Build 10.1.1.11 is giving me audio file linking errors. I want to download a previous version that was available around Oct 2017 to help troubleshoot where the problem may be.

Thanks,

Bryan D.

Bryan, I can only suggest looking up Audition at Wikipedia for dates, and the procedure above for previous versions, because to the best of my knowledge that's all there is.

However, what you're looking for is probably Audition CC 2017, which I believe is 11.0 - it's not been THAT long ago!

Another question is if you had any Dolby AC3 audio in those files, which would be the reason now for those errors.  Adobe has dropped licensing for Dolby, and removed support for Dolby codecs even from the previous version if permitted to "update." 

[ryclark]

Alternatively if you post a link to your .sesx session file somewhere that we could download we (or should I say SuiteSpot) could take a look at it to try and see where the missing links are. We don't need any audio files just the .sesx.

However looking in my version of the Creative Cloud desktop app I can click on the down arrow beside Open a new menu drops down allowing you to view other versions and install them if you want.

[MonoxideWorks]

I understand this is 3 weeks late of a reply, but my team went on ahead and redesigned the sound of the missing files. Thank you very much for your insights and help.

And what happens if i dont wanna use the cloud where every bugger and his dog gets to rip off your stuff? I want a standalone version.

[emmrecs]

If you don't wanna use the cloud then you are out of luck, I'm afraid!

Creative Cloud is the only  method by which Audition can now be legally accessed.  I also still have CS6, the last standalone version prior to the subscription model, but only because I was a user from before that model was introduced and have kept the app installed..

Yes, rollback works fine, and I just did it with the following procedure (forgive me for posting this on multiple threads):

I'm going to copy and paste this again because not everybody is seeing the most helpful posts.

If, like me, you HAVE to have Noise Reduction working, you're going to need to revert to the previous version.

To revert

- You MUST back up your settings folder as a rollback will delete it!  Find your settings folder at the path above and make a safety copy of it all.  Put it somewhere so you can restore it after this rollback as well as later once the upcoming bug patch is released!  Don't merely move or allow deletion - this is one worth having multiple copies of if you've been using Audition for any length of time at all.  Once that's done and your precious presets are safe, now for the fun:

- Open the Creative Cloud desktop app

- Click the "Apps" tab

- Scroll down to "Find additional apps" and directly to the right you'll see a filter toggle labelled "All Apps."  Click this.

- The last entry at the very bottom of this list is "View Previous Versions."  Click that.

- Scroll down until you see "Audition."

- Select "CC(2017) 10.0.2" and when the confirmation dialog box comes up, click "Yes, install this version."

- Sit back and wait for installation.

- Enjoy!

- When the CC App tells you there's an update available for Audition, DON'T install it until something newer than the 2017.1 release (version 10.1.0.174) becomes available!

I'm not seeing previous versions listed in the new Creative Cloud interface. Is finding older versions still an available option?

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

No, I'm afraid not. After taking legal advice, Adobe only offers the current version of any of its software products, and the -1 version. We have been asked not to discuss the reasons for this, so please don't ask.

For 19 gbp a month? are you kidding. i'm an unemployed hobbyist. I can't afford that crap. Got any alternative suggestions?

[SteveG_AudioMasters_]

Audacity, or get a cheaper hobby... or convert to Linux. Apparently there are plenty of tools available there.
