Today I updated to Audition CC 2018. I immediately ran into problems with my recorded Favorites and their associated keyboard shortcuts.
I am on a Mac so YMMV ))
In my workflow I normally select a 'hot' section of audio and in order to calm it, run my keyboard shortcut: [Command+Option+Control+num3]. IOW three modifiers and the numeral 3 key of the keypad. To raise a quiet piece of slected audio, I would type: [Command+Control+num3]. This suits me and is deeply ingrained in motor memory having used it for years many, many times a day. These Favorites were indeed recorded when I was a younger man some years ago. They are now useless.
Audition CC 2018 gives me an error message that the effect cannot be applied to the selection OR file. GRRRRR
After much fiddling around with recording new Favorites, I find that the actual selection's position within the file is recorded in addition to the audio adjustment (Effect).
Irony alert. This is a really great feature if you want to continuously and repeatedly apply the same effect to exactly the same piece of audio within the same file. /alert
For some of us, not so much of a feature...
In order to return to the old (and for me - useful) way of recording a favorite, I find that it is best to select the whole file (100%) before running and recording the Amplitude adjustment. Thus the recorded Favorite shows 'Selection' as Relative, 'Start' at 0%, 'End' at 100%. This will now apply the Favorite to the pre-selected area of the file.
Now onto the new and improved Keyboard shortcut assignation.
Sorry! No more Control key (MAC). It seems you cannot use it. Audition doesn't even acknowledge this key.
OK so how about Command+Option only as modifiers? That will show as recorded and shows in the Favorites kybd shtct menu but doesn't actually work...
One Modifier key only seems to be the new rule. Command+num3 works and Shift+num3 works. So brain and motorskills please remember the new keyboard shortcuts. SIGH
