Incorrect audio hardware configuration may cause the audio recording to not work. Watch this video to understand how to configure the audio hardware preferences and to set audio channel mapping to solve such issues.
0:15 - Creating a new audio file in Audition
0:34 - Audition has detected a problem with the current audio hardware settings
0:50 - Changing audio input on audio hardware settings
1:20 - Checking audio channel mapping settings
1:36 - Recording is now working in Adobe Audition
1:55 - Recap on what to do if you're unable to record audio
Learn more about configuring Audio Hardware in Audition.
Audition can identify hardware communication issues and can show recording and playback errors. Learn how to troubleshoot these recording and playback errors.
Other DVA apps like Premiere Pro and After Effects also use similar audio configurations. If you experience recording or playback issues, you may try the same steps to solve such issues. Hope you find this info useful. Refer to this page to explore the other videos of this series. Let us know if you have any questions.
In this video, you will learn how to get similar volume levels across different clips using tools like Normalizer and Speech Volume leveler.

Normalization
Normalization is a process of adding gain to audio for bringing the amplitude to a target level. Unlike Compression, in Normalization a constant gain is applied throughout the entire audio and it doesn't affect the dynamics of the audio.
Normalizer analyzes your audio file and it looks for the loudest peak and based on the amplitude of that peak it amplifies the audio globally.
Pro tip
Try not to normalize to 0dB. Have some headroom to avoid clipping which might happen while applying other processing effects on the audio and exporting it in a compressed format. -3 dB is generally a sweet spot where you have decently loud audio with enough headroom to avoid clipping.
Compression
Compression is a process of reducing the dynamic range of audio by making the louder part of the audio signal sound quieter and making quieter parts of the signal sound louder.
Normalization might not be the best tool to level your audio in every case. Learn when to Normalize and when to Compress.

Waveform Display
Waveform Display shows the variation of Amplitude or the loudness (on Y-axis) of the signal with respect to time (on X-axis). It is useful for analyzing the overall loudness and sections of silence In the audio. It is also good for identifying percussive changes in vocals, drums, and more. To find a particular spoken word, for example, simply look for the peak at the first syllable and the valley after the last. Learn more about the Waveform Display.
Spectral Frequency Display
Spectral Frequency Display shows the variation of Frequency (on Y-axis) with respect to time (on X-axis). As it shows the variation of different frequency components (which is not available in Waveform Display), it is useful for identifying problems within a frequency range such as unwanted noise (beeps, hisses, and other artifacts). The amplitude or loudness of each frequency range is shown in different colors. Brighter colors represent greater amplitude components. Colors range from dark blue (low‑amplitude frequencies) to bright yellow (high‑amplitude frequencies).
Here you can visually draw a selection over the desired frequency components and remove it or make it more pronounced. Read this blog to know more about this visual editing in Spectral Frequency Display
