When I save a mixdown in Audition CC, it seems to save the track at a much lower level than what I hear. Seems a few decibels less.
I'm using the latest version of Adobe Audition. When I did the same track, with same effects in a competitor DAW called Reaper, it saved the mixdown at the exact volume level as to what I heard in session, no volume drop.
I tried saving diff formats, highest quality, etc... nothing prevents the dip in volume in Audition. I do not want to switch to Reaper, I just used it to do a comparison.
From searching the user help forums, I came across an old thread which someone complained about a similar issue. This person was told to do the following:
"It's a common Master Panning law for stereo mixdowns. You can override this in Audition easily by clicking Edit > Preferences > Multitrack and set the Stereo Panning Mode toggle to "Left/Right Cut (logarithmic)"
Well, I went into the settings and changed that and still, the same issue.
Same issue this guy posted on the Adobe forums but nobody was able to resolve it:

Please if anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it
