I'm seeing two problems with how Audition CS6 (version 5) saves metadata:

Problem 1:

After saving a file as a WAV file when you view that file in Windows Explorer many of the metadata tags have the last character truncated.  The only way that I have found to solve the problem is to add a trailing space on each fields entry.  In fact if you change the Recording Date to say "2012" the date won't show up at all in Windows Explorer, but if you save it as "2012 " it shows correctly.

Problem 2:

If I open a WAV file to save it back out as an MP3 - it doesn't matter if I do a batch process or one file it is the same - all the metadata is lost (YES, I have the "Include markers and other metadata" box checked).  I follow these steps.. Open the Wav file>Click "Save as">set Format Settings to MP3>check the include markers>click OK.  At this point if you look at the resulting mp3 file in windows explorer you will see that no metadata is present, but if you still have the file open in Audition it appears that all of the metadata is there - you can even try changing a value and saving again, but Windows explorer still shows no data.  If you completely close the file in Audition and then reopen the mp3 file in audition, you will see that there is NO metadata there either.  At this point you can then repopulate the data in audition and save the file and then it will show the metadata when viewed with Windows Explorer.    VERY Annoying!!

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in Audition... It sure looks like a bug to me!!

Hey all,

First time posting in the Audition forum. I am using the trial of CS6 for mac.

I am not a master of audio by any means, so please excuse me if this is an easy answer.

I am in Premiere editing together a movie trailer. Some audio clips with dialogue have background noise I need removed, so I used the dynamic link to bring it over to Audition (a really cool feature).

Once in a go through the steps necessary to remove some of the background noise:

I select a length of the track in which we can only hear the background noise. Then I go to Effects>Noise Reduction>Capture Noise Print.. alls good.

Then I go and select the entire audio clip, then go Effects>Noise Reduction>Noise Reduction (Process)

Hit Apply, and go back to my audio clip, but only a small section (i.e only a portion of what I had selected) actually underwent the noise reduction. The first part sounds fine, but then the noise comes back in.

Also, when I use the adaptive Noise Reduction, it seems to work when previewing in the effects window, but when I apply, it only applies itself to a certain part of the clip, despite the fact that the entire clip was selected. I also noticed that the audio seems to "slide" between the part with noise and the part with no noise.

I would think I was doing something wrong, but when I try the exact same steps using Audition CS5.5, everything works perfectly. I just can't use the dynamic link which is a huge pain. It's just weirding me out that it's not working correctly in CS6.

Has anyone experienced this, or maybe have any solutions?

Best,

Dan

Hi -

This is a serious post and not an ad-hoc gripe.

I have just started to use Audition MID and it simply does not work! I have today read many of the posts of this forum and can identify other similar problems - for example - MIDI note off messages not being recorded re-transmitted to synths.

I would suggest that those with continuing problems post here in summary to give a community 'feel' for Audition with regard to MIDI for the benefit of users and developers alike.

As a former Sun Microsystems Test-lead engineer, here is imy appraisal of Adobe Audition MIDI capabilities:

1. It simply does not work. It appears that the Audition Design/Development team designed from a too simplistic stand point. It appears that the functionality was not thought through; and it most certainly looks like the MIDI features were NOT adequately tested in real-world scenarios; especially regarding connectivity with MIDI hardware.

2. The documentation is too sparse and does not sufficiently explain the features and their usage.

Audition as an audio editor is simply Awesome - there's almost nothing else like it IMO; but the MIDI design and testing team(s) have let this application down dreadfully. Senior designer /managers in Adobe - if you read this - you need to talk to your Adobe MIDI Developer and Test Leads and let them know they are destroying the reputation of Adobe and Audition.

Again I ask - does Audition MIDI Tracks work; and are people successfully integrating standard plugins into MIDI in Adobe multitrack sessions with acceptable realtime usage? I suggest we compile our expericen here to give a clear picture to Adobe - they clearly have not tested this functionality.

My experiences have been:

- It takes forever to initiate MIDI tracks

- Scaning for VSTi's crashes Audition - every time

- MIDI note-off messages regurlarly not sent to external hardware synths

- Minimal documentation on how to record from and play back external hardware synthesizers; on monitoring them when playing and on recording multiple MIDI tracks at once or on setting up connectivity to severla external hardware synths (among many other documentation short comings).

These are all issues that were sorted even by the likes of Atari 20 years ago. All of this functionaloty should completely work - it is bread and butter functionality.

I want to extract the audio from a video, but I don't want to import that video to audition. Can I do that?

I am working on Audition CS5.5

Thank you!

Hi,

Just got a new Samsung laptop with Windows 8...this is all new to me..I'm used to my old XP laptop but it was ancient.  I'm getting frustrated because the main program I wanted to use - Adobe Audition 3.0 - doesn't seem to want to install on my new laptop.  The installation begins, even the official Adobe extractor makes a folder for the program files, asks me if I'd like to install Audition, I click "Yes", it starts to install....then when I get to selecting which language, I click on "English".  At this point, the installer just disappears. Nothing.  No confirmation of anything, no error message.  I've tried this over & over...

Also I've tried to use Compatibility Mode with no luck.  When doing it that way, a box comes up that says something like "Did the program install correctly...select Yes if so, or No to troubleshoot...".  If I select "No", the window doesn't offer any solutions.  Another weird thing--on a whim I took this laptop into a computer repair place and explained what's happening.  Everyone working there had never heard of this happening.  They even called their main tech who was off work that day, and he was intrigued and stumped, having never seen this kind of an issue.  The best they could come up with was for me to re-install Windows 8, which seems very excessive to me.  I'm told Windows 8 has some "glitches", although I have no idea how true that is. 

I do understand that some very old programs aren't compatible with Windows 8.  But I have heard/read multiple people say that they are using Adobe Audition 3.0 on Windows 8 and that it works fine.

I'm hoping this is something easy to figure out. I did try to search around online and here before posting this, but couldn't find a solution.  Many thanks for any suggestions or input!

I can load tracks into audition, but when I try to play the tracks the cursor will not move and no audio will play. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Hello,

I finished a project in Audition last night and went to export it. When I checked on the export process after a few minutes, it was stuck at 0%. I wanted to restart the program to see if that would fix the issue, so I attempted to save the multitrack session, but it still froze at 0%. I noticed that there were 4 files processing according to the status bar at the bottom of the program. I tried to end the processes, which were saving metadata for recorded files. Only one of the files stopped saving, and the other three are stuck at 66% no matter what I do. I woke up this morning to check the progress and all files are still at 66% with the remaining time increasing rather than decreasing.

I'm assuming the issue is that Audition can only process so many files at once, so it won't save or export while the other files are processing. Regardless, I need to find a way to save my project before force quitting the program. I would greatly appreciate any suggested solutions.

I am on Windows 8, using Adobe Audition CC 2014.1 Build 7.1.0.119. Here is a screenshot of what happens when I try to save:

Here is one of the files frozen while saving metadata:

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate x64, SP1

I installed the Adobe Audition trial installer, as well as the Audition 3.0.1 patch.  Both installs went very smooth.

Tried to run AA3, and get the "this is a trial version" message.  Clicked Continue, splash screen comes up, and then the app itself finally shows up, but I get an error message right away:

Shutting Down: To continue working where you left off, please restart Audition.

After that, AA3 closes and I get:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error!

R6025 - pure virtual function call

As of yet, I have been unable to completely load the program even once.

I looked around for a few quick tips, what I found:

• uninstall QuickTime (I don't have QuickTime installed)
• clear out %appdata%\Adobe\Audition\3.0
• Remove (or rename) C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Audition 3.0\en_us\ImporterQT.prm

... none of which helped any.   Can anybody help me with this?

Hi,

I,am a video editor/producer and am now producing a series of audio books. I purchased "Adobe Audition" and am impressed with the program.

As I,am a video editor, sound is "New" to me some so help here would be apricated.

I,am recording with an older actor his voice sometimes produces "Smacking" or "Gulping" Swollowing noises. I assume he has moist mouth or something like that.

Never the less he has a great voice and I want to use him but need to get rid of the noises. Any help out there.

Regards

Matt

Hi there,

a year ago I created a stereo session to make a multisession mix in Audition 5.5. But now I want to use this mix to create a surround 5.1 mix. But I just cant do it. I changed the output from every track to Default Surround Output, used the track panner and then I exported the entire session as the multitrack mixdown, choosing the 5.1 mixdown option. But I just can't get it to work..... All I get is a wav with complete silence.

So then I thought: why not go back to version 3, with which I made surround-CDs in the past? The 5.1-output was 6 separate wav-files and I used other software to create the surroundfiles. So I tried to export my multitrack mix to separate wav-files by choosing File - Export - Multitrack mixdown - Entire session and there checking all the single tracks I want to export instead of choosing Master - Stereo or Master - 5.1. But what happens then is that I get all single wav-files (so far so good, because I can load these into version 3 and then make a surround), but half of the wav-files is 1 Kb. The rest is OK.

Then I tried to open the Audition 5.5 session in version 3, but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to export the session so I can open it in version 3? I tried with XML, but that doesn't seem to work......

Can anyone help me? Or tell me where I can find a very detailed (step-by-step) manual how to create a surround wavfile that Nero Burning ROM will accept to burn a surround CD? Or is this impossible, because I chose a stereo-session instead of a 5.1-session and do I have to create a new 5.1-session and do the mixing all over again?? Hope not....

Thank you in advance!

I just installed Audition and when I try to open it I receive an error message that it has stopped working and my options are to close the program or check online for a solution. I checked online and nothing came up. I checked my account and everything is up-to-date. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it comes up with the same error code. Can someone please help me to figure this out?

Hey so I realize this is completely my fault and I shouldn't have updated.  I honestly thought it had been out longer and figured stuff would be fixed by now. 

I also know that there was another thread that end up being locked... but I'm wondering how soon until there will be an update for audition?  Or if there is a work around of some kind? 

Any info would be helpful. 

Thanks!

I want to extract the audio from a video, but I don't want to import that video to audition. Can I do that?

I am working on Audition CS5.5

Thank you!

Hallo,

i'm on Windows7 32bit (de-de) with Audition 3.0.1 and language strings are mixed up ('de-de' and 'en-us'). I installed audition with 'english' language (clean 1st time install) and 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Audition\3.0\Prefs\Language' is '0'. I also tried to remove 'de-de' folder but doesn't help. The corresponding files like 'Nonoise.xfm' are multilanguage (holding multi5 unicode strings) controlled by the host software (Audition) so its not possible to just remove locale files to force en-us output.

I'm currently out of ideas. If you know some tricks to force 'en-us' on a localized system please leave a message.

Thank you.

Hello,

In both Audition CS5.5 and CS6, when the user inserts multiple files into a multitrack session, they are placed on multiple tracks. (As the help file says, "The files are inserted on separate tracks at the current time position"). Please change this to allow multiple files to be inserted onto a single track.

I can understand the usefulness of the current behaviour in some scenarios, but there are other workflows in which the placement of multiple files on multiple tracks is a serious hindrance.

E.g. In this thread, a user mentions needing to insert 10,000 individual files for dialogue editing and mixing.

I also posted in that thread because my own workflow involves editing hundreds of individual files, which are single notes recorded for the production of virtual instruments.

The reason why a "one-track multitrack" workflow is useful to me is that it allows great flexibility in processing multiple files individually or at once, comparing them, adding markers, fades, etc.

It would also be useful when bringing in any audio that has been recorded in consecutive chunks - field recordings, concerts, Foley sessions, etc.

In the thread, another user suggested inserting all the files onto a single track in Premiere Pro, then bringing that project into Audition as a multitrack session. Unfortunately this creates another problem for me, because it renames all the audio with the suffix "extracted". My workflow requires me to keep the original file names, because these are used downstream when mapping the recorded notes in the virtual instrument.

Thanks for reading and please consider this for a future update.

What is the difference between the CS6 version and the CC version of the Audition program?

I have recently opbtained a Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface, for use with Adobe Audition CS6. At first I used it with an HP i7 running Windows 8. It worked like a dream, doing everything that I expected of it. Now, I have plugged it to my Laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium. Sadly it refuses to respond to any commands in either direction. The PC giives the two-note ackowledgment that the USB is comminucating. However, that's as far as it goes.

Audition on the laptop knows what's connected and all options offer the USB connected device correctly named. Whatever I do, there is no sign of the Mackie MCU Pro waking up. It just seems to sit there, probably thinking it's a 'fridge or a toaster.

Has anyone else used this combination and did it work OK? I'm sure I'm mssing something obvious and there's an 'enable' of some sort. Can anyone offer any thoughts?

Thabk you for your time and help.
