WHY is AUDITION IS LAGGING, NOT LATENCY

[johan_eskew]

My Audition multitrack has been lagging in speed and performance when the tracks begin to grow, how can I fix this, thank you so much

Great.  At the moment for longer projects with multiple dialogue tracks, efx and music tracks (which need to be mixed to picture) I have to break my session down into 10:00 max pieces, and even then lag becomes an issue.

my audition has been really choppy as well, it started out of no where just like some of you guys, and all I'm doing is editing 2 minute wav files for songs. i hope the next update fixes this issue

I'm now running an i7 10700 with 32gb of RAM. Same issue. When I add automation and processing (VST3 mainly), every operation is down to a snail's pace. I have to chop my EDLs into ten minute segments to get anything like a real time response, which really is putting a crimp in my workflow, and adding an unnecessary 2-track editing stage.

Same here... please provide any current updated info.  Mine is a Dell brand new i7 using Microsoft 365.  Is there a fix yet? Cycling for simple podcast straight audio and music compilations. No effects. 
Need the proper solution ASAP.

I'm having the exact same issue and it just started out of nowhere. I am doing a simple podcast editing job, involving 3 audio tracks with zero effects. Please hep, as this is making my work extremely slow, laborious and frustrating. Thanks.

Hello all. Was this ever fixed? I've been looking for updates to no avail. Thank You

I'm working on the latest OS and Audition version on a 2021 MBP M1 Max with 32GB ram. I cannot believe how slow it is - I can edit this many audio tracks in Premiere with no delay! Currently the software is nearly unusuable and waiting for the beach ball is costing me hours every time I delete / paste / move. Please hurry up and sort this out!

June 2022 now. I just started encountering this problem today. Edited a podcast a couple of weeks ago with no problems. Now, can't get cut/delete/ripple delete/etc without an extreme lag. Curious to see if there's been any progress.

Did anyone get an answer to this? Same issue. 9/2022. Are people using laptops? Is that the issue? Mine is new w tons of cashe space

I've just started using audition on my laptop - it's not high-end by any means but it should be plenty good enough to do what I want it to, as I've been using photoshop and lightroom with hundreds of raw files with minimal delays. Using audition to track guitar and bass for a song using a distortion plugin, the playback is so laggy and glitchy. This is fixed by pre-rendering my effects, but this adds other issues with latency (for some reason, I might just have to re-record the tracks though). Don't know if this is applicable to your issue though

Having the same problem 8/21/23 -- did this ever get figured out? I'm currently mixing an 11-minute short film in Audition (no effects applied yet) and the lagging is BAD. Audition is up-to-date, I'm working on a powerful iMac, and as far as I can tell there should be no reason for the slowdown. In Premiere, a technique that has helped in the past is deleting cache files. Could that be the issue here?

+1 -- Has been happening to me for the last few years. Windows 10, 12900k CPU, 128gb ram. Hoping this gets fixed soon. Trying to just edit VO for videos, basic effects like EQ. Can't cut/move tracks more than twice before it starts lagging and freezing. Updated to latest 2023 Audition and still happening. Anyone recommend another audio program that's not a full blown DAW?

Same issue here: Audition does not use nearly 15% of my pc resources, it is a threadripper with 48 cores, 128gb ram all work drives are SSD's. I'm trying to mix a feature film and every clic I do takes 5 seconds to respond. Even the menus on the top of the software become laggy. I have tried, the current version, the past two versions, and the beta. Older versions work a bit better than current or beta versions, unfortunately, I can't find 2018 version on the adobe cloud, becasue I did similar projects back then without issues.
