As you can see, I've got a pretty significant DC situation in this mixdown:
I've figured out that this is being introduced by Audition's native Convolution Reverb effect being applied to one of the tracks. (The rack mix goes from 0 to 100 and back down to 0 again, hence the gradual drift down then back again.) Is there some live process I can apply that'll correct the DC offset in just that one track, so I can take care of it before it gets mixed into the whole thing?
Yes, I know this is an old topic, but none of the existing threads resolutions appear to be active any longer. I recently cloned my disk and Audition now says it cannot be activated. How can I re-activate my copy again?
Upgrading is not an option. 3.x does exactly what I need and works.
Folks,
Trying to clean up a poor quality audio track as best as is possible, and not happy.
Here is a folder with a segment of the original along with a segment of what I've done so far (as of this moment it is still trying to upload the small files, 4.6 MB each):
If these continue to take forever, I'll post a link to a Google Drive Folder.
You'll notice there is a fan (that is oscillating), and a very quiet voice (there was a mic, but folks didn't want to use it).
Any suggesting on how to improve my efforts, or how to try again on the original is deeply appreciated.
If I get permission, I'll post a link to the entire recording when it is done; then you will know why this is so important.

Hi! I'm trying to export a range marker I created in multitrack, but the options to export are greyed out.
Adobe docs say I have to be in waveform... why can't I do this also in multitrack editor? Any work arounds/solutions? I'd rather not willy-nilly just use the time selection tool for exports.
Thanks
Whenever I export my Multitrack mixdowns to mp3 files, the mp3 file sounds very different than it does inside Audition and I can't figure out why. When I play the multitrack in Audition it sounds fine, but once I export the file the volume is all messed up with some tracks louder than others and there's also a loud hissing white noise in the background that wasn't there when I play it in Audition. I already reduced noise reduction and hissing using effects in editing.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the export settings?
I did read some of the forum and I think I know the answer here. I want to post what I'm doing anyway, in case anybody is doing something similar and has a better idea.
I record separate audio clips (electronic instruments) clocked to a midi master as I record them, but recorded separately, in multitrack mode. They are loosely live performed, not following an overall scheme of measures / changes, but they are same tempo. I want to then arrange these in Multitrack.
I put some preliminary markers at obvious points in the individual files, but as I arrange I get a better idea which point in time is measure 1 and where changes would go. Maybe I pick percussion to start with and move other track parts around, and start to count measures out to see where changes are/should be, relative to points in time. I count over 16 or 32 beats add a marker, again and again.
THEN.. at around measure 64, in one of the tracks I need to do a fancy edit. So I say edit source file, but the time markers I've added in Multi are gone and it isn't clear where my edit needs to be.
This might be a dumb workflow! but I find Audition editing more familiar than my DAW and I was a big fan of Cool Edit Pro.
So confirm -> markers added in Multi can NOT be referenced while editing one of the separate tracks?
and Also is anybody using Audition like this ?
Thanks for any feedback!
I am trying to record some voice over stuff. I'm currently recording using my Zoom H4n as an interface, connected directly to the mac. I have set it up via an aggregate device, but I don't believe that's my problem.
Here's the issue: when I play back the audio I record, my voice sounds deeper - like that sound you get when you slow down a recording. I did double check with a second person to make sure it wasn't' my imagination in hearing my own voice. It's definitely playing back deeper.
I have checked my sample rate, which is set to 48kHz. My new audio file (for recording) was also set to 48kHz. I can't think what else to check?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Steve
I'm receiving this error code when attempting to export a multitrack session to OMF. I've successfully exported other files to OMF but then this error code popped up. I've been on the phone with Adobe and still have no answer as to how to solve.
My latest theory is that I moved the cache folder to manage storage. Could this be the problem?
Is there any way to do this?
It would be SUPER helpful for editing podcasts, long form stuff in general.
I see that there has been an update for Premiere which allows for this - but I can't find it in Audition.
If this hasn't been developed yet, please, PLEASE put it on the urgent features list. This would save me tons of time.
Thanks!!

I have a very simple need but I haven't found a simple fix.
Say I want to move a piece of audio from one part of a track to another. How can I do this? I can't find how to do a cut and paste in the sense we do it with text.
What happens is I can copy a piece of audio then insert it elsewhere but it lays on top of or overlays what was there. It doesn't bump everything else forward.
I edit my audio a lot. I also want to easily move it around. I assume this is what Audition is designed to do.
So I'll have a track made up of many clips. I can do what I require but my way seems incorrect and a kludge. There must be a correct, quick, better way.
What I do is split a clip where I want to insert new audio then I select everything forward from there. Then I manually move/drag all those clips forward about as far as I think my new clip will require. Then I paste in the new clip. Then I adjust the whole chunk of forward-selected clips as needed to butt up correctly against the last part of the new clip.
This is dumb. It seems bad. Takes a lot of time. There must be a better way.
...Like we do with text. Cut and paste. When we paste text it just inserts the new text between the old text. Duh. If we want new text to REPLACE old text we select the old text then paste. If we paste at an insertion point it only inserts the text. Doesn't replace or overlap or anything crazy. I want Audition to do that.
I read about something called "Mix Paste" which SEEMS like a terrible idea but also is described in a way that sounds like what I need. However, it is a greyed-out non-option after you copy some audio.
I'm hoping this is really easy and obvious. Thanks for the help!
Hello,
i am a starter in Adobe Audition. i am doing a podcast and i have two tracks in the multitrack view. if i delete certain parts of the recording, i always want to delete it in both tracks. I tried grouping the two recordings which works fine. But i e.g. split the tracks and want to crossfade the two parts, i need to degroup the whole slices and regroup the once i want to move. is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
Hello,
I am coming from Adobe Premiere and AfterEffects and I am used to be able to set keyframes on all attributes.
For example to change the 1K frequence over time.
It this possible with Adobe Audition?
(And if yes, where is keyframing documentation)
At the moment it seems to have less artistic possibilities than Premiere...
Thanks
I am unable to save changes to the hard limiter. It is like the hard limiter has been changed to read only.
Also for my previous presets that I changed on my hard limiter. They have now been changed back to the original preset. As far as I can tell this is only happening with the hard limiter.
Is anyone else having this challenge?
I'm using Adobe Audition CC on a mac running el capitan. I had a multitrack session saved and now when I open it I can't select Arm for Record. I'm using a Behringer c-1U USB mic. I used the same mic and settings before with no issues, however now the Arm for Record function seems disabled. I've already checked the hardware preferences in the audition>preferences area and the input sound preferences for my machine. I can't find anywhere else in the track or in any menus where you can select input. Any help would be appreciated!
For some reason, now that I am done mixing my radio show, the entire session, nor selected clips will export to mp3. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer and everything.

I fear I have infected our computer with complex nanoparticles from my complicated brain.
I have been happily editing a podcast, using the most current version of Audition (Build 12.1.3.10) on an iMac running High Sierra 10.13.6 with 16 GB of RAM and plenty of hard drive space. As I built sequences in separate .sesx files, I saved every 3 minutes to the Adobe/Audition/12.0 folder on my hard drive. Carefully created session folders saved all media to those. I also backed up the .sesx files as well as media to an external disk.
At 3:17 am the night before our launch, the program crashed. Just went black. I restarted, and what came up was heartbreaking. Session files had confused media files, putting one inside of another, mislabelling, and presenting multi-track projects with empty tracks. Backups did not help; I went through every version and got the same results.
I am wondering if the fact that I have my documents folder on my iCloud caused this. I have never understood Cloud anyway; are the files here, on the hard drive, or on the Cloud, or what? It seems like Audition was reaching for the media files and not finding them. Today -- when this all happened again after a brief interlude of luck -- the multi-track would load, appearing to be correct, bringing in all the required media files, but with empty tracks, clips greyed-out. (screenshot attached).
This is how all the session files appear FROM THE HARD DRIVE. The ones I saved to the desktop folder I created seem to be at least partially there. Still checking.
Link Media would ask, I would find the right file, and nothing happened. It kept on asking for the same files.
Was it a mistake to open new multitrack sessions within the first, larger one? I did that to create subsidiary multi-track files, chunks of the larger assembly. I created new .sesx files inside of the main project because I wanted to preserve the separate tracks for mixing, and mixdowns don't do that.
This seems to happen right at the end of a session. I went to save this morning around 3, and the beachball came up. Sure enough, my most recent file was nowhere.
There is one other issue that has confounded me: When I open new sessions and start to import files, then save and reopen later, these projects seem to bring in tons of superfluous media, and makes copy after copy cop after copy copy copy, clogging up the storage. I once got a warning that I had exceeded the amount of files Audition could handle, which is especially aggravating since I did not want them all in there in the first place.
Finally, as you can see in this screenshot, the media browser shows all my project folders, but no .sesx files and no imported files recorded, etc. It is an empty facade.
Can one of you wizards help me sort this mess out?
Thanks.

Hi everybody.
This might be Windows user problem, or (probably) a Waves problem, but maybe somebody here has had this issue.
I bought the Waves Masters set with L2 limiter and a couple other for EQ and Compression.
Audition finds the waves under VST3 in the menu, but it displays them so tiny you can't read what the threshold is set to. Maybe with a magnifying glass.
On Reddit I read Waves only works at 1600x1050 (or something like that).
My Dell XPS 15 says it recommends 3840x2160, so I changed my display to 1600x.., restarted Audition and there was no change, L2 still tiny and now my mouse cursor is an inch tall. So I changed it back.
I admit I am not an expert in Windows 10. I couldn't find any posts here about this, which leads me to think people don't have this problem.
Has anybody seen this?
Hi All
I am running an instance of Audition CS6 on a Win 7 Pro box in a domain environment.
The instance uses the machinespecificsettings.xml file as the default for all the domain users - the device defaults box is ticked in Preferences>Audio Hardware. No problem with that, it has been running for a year or so and I know where the xml file is.
I want to change the audio hardware on the box and want to save out a new settings file somewhere so I can replace the existing.
Trouble is I have forgotten how I did it last time and I remember it was a bit of an uphill struggle!
I can use my user account to untick the device defaults box so that I can choose the new hardware and set up the channel mapping then close Audition. Next time Audition starts it loads MY defaults correctly. If I then tick the box and shut Audition it correctly reverts to the machine specific defaults file. No problem there.
But where the **** does Audition store MY default machine settings, and what is the file called so I can use that as the new global settings? I have done all the usual searches based on modified date etc.for .xml files and can't find what I need.
Remember this is CS6 and Win 7 Pro in a domain. CC solutions won't necessarily help.
Thanks

1. Select a range
2. Select the menu option "Calculate tempo from selection"
3. Type the duration (number of bars)
4. Hit Extract Tempo. The tempo would be displayed, and upon hitting OK, the bars & beats ruler in edit view would automatically be updated to reflect the calculated tempo.
With this function missing since Audition 3, there is STILL no way of calculating tempo of audio content - such a simple feature, but a fundamental requirement for an audio editor!
I've edited audio from a lot of situations, but sometimes we just aren't lucky enough to get room tone at all. I've had a number of cases where I manually went in and deleted audio that's over a certain amplitude to try to create my own room tone, and it's a very lengthy process.
The benefits of having room tone are endless. Having the ability to generate roomtone that matches your audio clip would be a huge bonus. Especially with the Essential Sound panel having noise reduction. Reducing noise is great, but sometimes you'd want to fill in the silence you've created with some natural room tone. Or perhaps you're shooting ADR and want to mix it in with stuff recorded live. You'll need room tone to put behind the ADR to make it match.
Another company's software suite has the ability to do this and it looks like an absolute life saver:
