Hmm... So we have a situation where several people experience the same problem, and others (perhaps  unfortunately including the developers) can't reproduce it at all. So what do we do?   It's all very well saying it's trackable on your machine, and I'm perfectly happy to believe that, but I think you're either going to have to give us a bit more, otherwise we won't be able to distinguish what's different about the machines that exhibit this, and those that don't. Yes I know the developers should be doing this really, but I think we can probably do a bit more here first, even if it's only to remove a few possibilities.   One of the things I noticed about your original screen-grab was that it doesn't only say that the disk might be full - it also says that the destination might not be available, and I believe that may be significant because of the way any save (and write) works in Waveform view. They are based on saves from a temp file, so can we have a look at that? How do you have the primary temp file set up on your machine? It would be an interesting experiment, if you have an external SSD available, to relocate your temp file to a folder on that and see if anything alters about this behaviour. ... View more

If you haven't spoken over each other, and it's just levels you want to normalize, then you could try using Audition's Speech Volume Leveler and see if that helps - it will almost certainly make it easier to listen to, I would have thought.   If you are going to try cutting it manually (which is probably the only way you'll end up with a mistake-free version) then the thing to do is to put the track into a multitrack session. There you have several possible approaches, but the one I'd go for is firstly to lock the track in time, to prevent slippages and keep the timing straight, and then highlight each person's contribution in turn, with the mouse. If you use Ctrl-K (right click, and Split option) you can then drag that section you've just split to a new track. You can do what you like at that point. Once you get into the swing of this, it's pretty quick. Works equally well with mono and stereo recordings, too. ... View more

Hmm... you could try re-reading the first sentance I wrote above: 'this is relatively simple to do in Audition's Waveform view'...   Nothing is missing. ... View more

Other than that, you probably only have a 'mechanical' hard disk in your laptop. The absolutely best thing you can do, if this is the case, is to fit a SSD instead. This will absolutely transform any laptop in terms of its performance and is especially worth it with modern OS's. You might need some professional help to transfer everything from one drive to the other, but it's not actually that difficult with the right software. ... View more

Basically, there's no built-in facility to do this, I'm afraid. You either have to route it to a spare output and then hardware route it back to a spare input, or possibly you might be able to route it internally using something like Virtual Audio Cable but that isn't easy to set up. ... View more

Fiirstly you'll have to tell us what you've tried. Also confirm which version of Audition you are using, and whether you are trying to record in Waveform or Multitrack view. As far as W11 is concerned, it's bloatware - if you want it to work with Audition you have either to have a blindingly fast machine, or go through all the steps to optimise it for audio, and stop all of the unnecessary stuff running. ...

I'm afraid not - it doesn't work like that. I suggest that you look at the tutorials about the Audition marker system, and how it works. What you are suggesting is more like the way Premiere works, but Audition isn't a video editor. ... View more

Because of something their lawyers said years ago, Adobe will only let you install the current version and its -1 of any of its apps. If you had previous versions of apps installed, and you didn't uninstall them, then the CC app will let you run them. But if you did uninstall them, then the system won't let you reinstall them.   I have a little sympathy for your predicament, because it happened to me as well. I elected to upgrade the computer it wouldn't run on - that was a lot easier than having an argument with Adobe that I was pretty sure I wasn't going to win. If you want to take them on, then you will have to contact Adobe directly - we have no influence over this situation at all. Good luck. ... View more

I'm afraid that .pkf files don't contain any audio at all. Their only purpose was to store the visual information about what a file looked like when the waveform was displayed. Their purpose was to help open the actual audio file more quickly - simply by removing the need for the file to regenerate that information. Generally they are stored with their associated wav files and can only be used in conjunction with them. ... View more

It's quite simple; you just assume that if they're in the sesx, then they get processed. This is pretty much accurate - no amount of muting, etc will get around it, I'm afraid.   Unfortunately, it sort-of makes sense. You put an effect in a track, and you want to be flexible with its use - so you leave it available all of the time. One thing that might help you is to use clip effects rather than track effects - if you work it out carefully that might be more resource-efficient, because you aren't leaving the effect available for the whole track. If you try that, I'd be interested to hear whether this improves things or not. ... View more

A couple of things: they don't all have to be playing at the same time, they only have to be on a track to need pre-processing. They're running all the time - it's just that you've got the mix value set to 100% direct, effectively, when you can't hear them. They're still all there...   The second thing is that you haven't said, but I'm assuming that you are using W11 if this is a new machine. What that gets up to in the background when it's failing to do your work is pretty extensive. Do a Google search using the term 'turning off all the stuff you don't need in W11' and find out what you can improve. Also, note that quite a few people have said that the current version isn't as quick as previous versions. This may be the case - I don't know. But it could easily be down to the POS 'Operating' system... ... View more

"My sessions are 100+ tracks. I'm using plugins, but I don't feel like it's a crazy amount. Like maybe 4-5 per track and then another 5 on the bus."   Hmm... I do make that a pretty crazy amount of effects! 500+? Initially, what you need to do is pre-render the tracks, because this will get all of the effects for any given track processed before attempting to play the track. You might be surprised at how much difference this makes... (look for the little lightning bolt at the top of each effects rack) ... View more

In Effects, under Amplitude and Compression, there's an effect called Speech Volume Leveler - but I have to warn you that with singing, it might not be very effective, or sound particularly good. But it does do what it says on the tin though - it levels all of the volume in a file, pretty much destroying all of the dynamics.   For actually treating individual voices, you want something like Melodyne. But for this sort of purpose, it's a steep learning curve. ... View more

Let's just look at what it is you can actually hear: (This occurs in a lot of places in your file, on both channels - there are many more) The bits I've ringed in red show pretty good examples of instability somewhere in the impedance converter and preamp stage of your mic. The problem has to be there; there is nowhere else analogue in the mic before the USB conversion, and if USB converters did this, we'd all have been up in arms about it years ago. This sort of instability can be 'provoked' by having the gain turned up too high, but there are other possibilities too - mainly involving poor design. The relatively smooth part of the waveform is actually you speaking, but the waveform superimposed on it gives the whole thing a 'grating' sound. ... View more

As all actual engineers know, it's not what a specification tells you that's important - it's what it doesn't tell you. And you can cannot really determine anything about the behaviour of a device from its specification alone - there are many, many examples of this. It is even possible, in this instance, that reducing the sample rate from 192k to 44.1 might actually help your situation; stranger things have been known. And that's the point; you can't determine what will make a difference just by looking at a piece of paper, especially if you haven't been trained to interpret what it says correctly. And in this case, you need to be aware of Shannon and Weaver's work, and Nyquist limits before you even begin. ... View more

... and others will disagree. And if you realised exactly what difference sample rates actually make, you'd realise that if you are using any sample rate above 48k, the difference will be inaudible to humans - whatever you might claim to the contrary. If you use higher sample rates, then you will a) be creating huge files, and b) filling 3/4 of that hugeness with nothing but noise from well above the limit of human hearing. ... View more

If reducing the recording gain reduces the clicks, then there can't possibly be any electrical breaks casuing this, whatever you claim. As for the Yeti itself - there have been complaints that it has a very 'shallow' sound, and distorts the dynamics. All that points to a pretty poor impedance converter at the front end of the mic, and I suspect that is what's really happening here. Those 'clicks' aren't actually clicks at all - if you look carefully at them (certainly on the wav file) they are like little bursts of oscillation, and that points firmly at a stability issue within the impedance converter itself. It would be interesting to see if another example did the same thing under the same use conditions; I suspect that it might.   We only have one Blue mic here - a Snowball. It's suitable for Zoom meetings but I wouldn't dream of using it for anything else. ... View more

 This is difficult. The first one that's easy to isolate (at 0.00.880) sounds almost like a plosive pop - but it also looks like an electrical spike, as do some of the others that occur in more random places.   Now, all of the stuff I've ever seen about Yeti mics suggests that they are prone to picking up background noise, they do emphasise plosives. and that it's easy to overdo the levels. So initially I'd suggest getting a pop shield for between your mouth and the mic, making sure that you're at least nine inches away from the mic body, making sure that it's set to cardioid, and turning the gain down (which reduces the opportunities for the mic pre to distort). I wouldn't worry too much about the actual level that gets recorded; -12 to -15dB peaks is all you need, and you can normalize this afterwards to get the levels where you want them. This is a much safer way to record.   If all of this makes no difference, then report back. ... View more

Still don't think it's an actual bug - it's as designed (even if you don't like it). Whatever format and bit depth an MP3 is when it's encoded doesn't matter, when Audition is going to decode it as 32-bit anyway. So effectively the original MP3 retains its assets so the file name remains - as does the file itself. It's only what happens to it in Audition that you see (apart from the admittedly slightly misleading indications around the screen real estate).   It's also worth noting, if you haven't noticed it already, that Audition isn't using the Fraunhofer encoder any more, now that the copyright has expired - it's using Lame. Don't think that makes any difference to the file handling though. ... View more
