So when I do my video work I usually Extract the Audio, Edit it in Audition, then insert the Edited file back into Premiere. This has worked well for me for a couple years now. Recently however I noticed an issue. My audio is the decibel level I want it to be when I export it out of Audition, but when I Import it to Premiere it drops down a few Decibels.
Namely the last thing I do in Audition is I Normalize to -11dB. That gives me a nice -12dB average audio level to account for peaks and lows in my audio, generally. I can play it back in Audition and confirm that it is averaging right around -12dB. However when I import it into the Project in Premiere, now it is down to around -15dB and I have to boost the audio 2-3 dB to get it where I want it to actually be.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is it an issue with Audition exports or Premiere Importing? If I close Audition, then Reopen it and freshly import the audio to it, it still seems to be the -12dB I wanted it to be, so it seems to be a Premiere issue.
Files are 48khz 24-bit .WAV files.

In short, this is due to the Pan Law.
To fix it, go to Edit > Preferences > Multitrack in Adobe Audition and set the Default Panning Mode to Left/Right Cut (Logarithmic).
When done, all audio you export from Audition will come in as expected into Premiere Pro.
