Timing Issue When Cutting in Multitrack

[Jamon Bull]

Hello. I am a podcast editor Audition 22.6 on my Apple MacBook Air. I am experiencing a very frustrating issue whereby the timing on my multitrack clips seems to be subtly shifting every time I save, quit and re-open Audition. I have edited a 2.5 hour episode with multiple tracks numerous times now and can't seem to figure out what's going on. I make hundreds of edits (ripple time delete) to remove 'ums', strange sounds etc. and some of those sounds have re-appeared, or at least a portion of them. The result is anything but a smooth listening experience. E.g. A person will start speaking but begin their sentence mid word. I'm not sure whether saving the session file is shifting the timing, or re-opening the session. I have used Audition for a decade and have never experienced this insanely frustrating issue. Any help or advice would be appreciated. My podcast is basically on hiatus until I can solve this.

Are you saving your media to your local hard drive and not to the cloud or some other location?

Saving to Apple's iCloud Drive as other people on our team access the session to also edit. This has never been a problem before.

I ask because it sounds to me like either whatever media is on the cloud is not in sync or has been altered in relationship to the sesx.
Note that 'never been a problem before' doesn't always mean it can't be a problem now 😉
