Slow response when moving/trimming clips, plagued by spinning wheel, thoughts?

[drewa87435136]

Hi there!

I've had a lot of trouble with Audition being slow to react to me moving or trimming clips.  I had thought it was just a bottleneck with my 2017 MBP but I just upgraded to the base model iMac Pro (3.2Ghz Xeon W, 32GB ram, Radeon Vega 56 8GB) and I'm still having the same issue.

Granted, it's not as bad as before, but coming from using ProTools and Logic for the past decade (never had the same issue, even on old crappy machines), I'm confused as to why Audition is having so much trouble just moving or cutting a region.

Any ideas out there?

Which version of Audition? And where are the audio files that the clips originate stored? Also check that in Audition's Preferences/Media and Disc Cache the paths are to suitable fast local storage for the Temp folders.

Thanks, forgot to add:  Build 12.0.1.34. Audio files are stored on external thunderbolt 2 drive.

That's all it would take - trying to edit on any external drive is a no-no if you want speedy access. It's not the drive so much as the way it's accessed. Try transferring the files you are editing to a drive on the machine and see if the same thing happens...

Also disc cache / temp folders are all set to my internal drive
