I have been exporting short clips from Descript transcript to Adobe Audition, but when I open them in Audition THERE IS NO AUDIO.  Its bizarre, because the transcript plays as usual within Descript, but is silen t in Audition.  Is there some setting that I erroneously set that has caused this?  Help would be much appreciated, since this is for a podcast episode that is now way behind, and we count on donations, sponsors etc, and we're running out of money.  

 

THANKS

First question to ask is - what has changed?
Something in your setup or something in Descript?

Are you getting Descript to create the sesx?
Or are you just dragging audio clips onto the timeline?
Either way, make sure your routing is to an appropriate audio output

Hi, and thanks

I create a project in Descript, but after I had problems trying to edit there, I  returned to editing in Audition, where I set up the sesx file.  I transcribe Interviews in Descript, then and export audio to Audition.  I keep the Descript transcription document open, and then when I need a phrase, I export it to a folder within my Audition project.  From there I import the clip into the project Files bin, then drag into my Audition  timeline.  That's where I discover the clip is empty, no audio. 

I'm also getting a warning that devices attached to the  project have changed. I look at the Audio Hardware panel,  and cannot figure out the solution.  I am not using the Presonus Audio Box USB 96 at the moment; The entire interview is imported directly from  Descript and saved in the project folder. I have set the input to "No Default Input," since it is all internal.  I have also looked at the Audio Channel Mapping, and cannot make any changes (locked).  I wouldnt know what to change even if they were unlocked.   I have attached screenshots for Audio Hardware as well as channel mapping

Thanks for any advice!

Rob
