Question

Longer and longer lags in ripple delete/undo

I have a 2017 Mac, that I have had for a year. It is very nippy at everything else but there is a major issue with the speed of Audition. When I first open it, it can do ripple deletes/undo instantly but the longer it is open/the more I do the longer and longer it gets. After a few mins it back up to taking 10 secs to ripple delete in all tracks, even a tiny section. As I edit podcast for a living this is costing me a lot of time. 

 

If I close and reopen the software it is ok again briefly before getting very slow again. I have redownloaded the app and no joy. It is crashing less than it was but it still occasionally likes to die with no warning. I am very frustrated.

Also really stuggling with this, exact same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

Hey Salllysm, I'm not sure if this helps, but I found that my ripple deletes were lagging when I was using files from Descript. Since then I only use descript at the end and it saved me from this problem. I think Descript translates the files into a form that might make the program take its time processing. This is just a guess but if there is a file in your multitrack that is of a different size or causing audition to create duplicates of that might be what's slowing down your ripple deletes. Hope that helps.

Have you solved the problem? I am having the same issue. It makes editing is no fun at all.

I have the same problem, I can't merge my clips yet because I'm still adjusting volume on my tracks. Is there a solution beyond merging?

Exactly the same issue here... and also editing a podcast.

This should be a major issue to fix and I don't see any solutions apart from restarting the program.

This is very unlikely to be anything to do with the speed or otherwise of Audition, and far more likely to be to do with the way that directories and file space for temp files is set up. Can't really help any more with the original queiy because I don't use a Mac, and I'm not sure about whether the structure is the same. Also it depends very much on the way you've got the session set up, and there are several potential issues to look at here, like whether you are trying to take time out of pre-rendered tracks, etc. 

 

What it comes down to is that without a load more information, we can't possibly help with this.

Thanks for responding, Steve.

 

In my case, I tried on 2 different computers both on Windows. The fastest one is a Ryzen 7 3700X with 64 GB of RAM. I usually work on a RAID 0 hard drive system (the best RAID for performance) and I just tried the project on an SSD. Same results. 

 

I do not have any effects on the audio yet, I'm just editing it. I haven't changed any of the by default "Media and Disk Cache" folders. They are in C:/ (my SSD).

 

Please, let me know if you need more information.
