The export File function of Audition cs6 is very temperamental. I mixed a live band recording and when I try to export, the resulting file is empty, silent, not recognized by iTunes etc. I've looked through every help thing on this forum and none of the advice has worked. the only thing that does work is turning off all the effects, when I do that I have an audible exported file. It's confusing because I've already mixed two whole albums with no trouble like this before, I understand the principals of exporting and have done it many times before. Playback is very poor, in terms of number of dropped samples, lag between pressing the play button and start of play back can be up to 30 seconds, this makes me think that I don't have enough computing power to export the mix, but it should should still be able to do it even if it takes three hours or export a two minuet tracks.
things I have tried:
- make sure all tracks are touted to the master track
- no tracks are muted
- all bus tracks route to master track
- exported file matches sample rate, buffer size, and file type of the source recordings
- playback is audible in the multitrack and wave form windows
- frequency analysis works ( but lagged about three seconds)
- VU meters light up (but lag about three seconds)
- tried mixing down to new file within Audition results in silence
- tried exporting to Premier results in silence
- exporting individual tracks from the wave form editor works fine except a sound like someone smashing a reverb plate with a hammer is placed at the header.
My Suspicion:
That my computer does not have enough ram to export my tracks with effects processing. Because when I disable all effects on tracks and buses the export works.
My system: 2010 mac book pro /OSX 10.6/ 4 gig RAM memory/ 88 gigs free hd space/ Audition CS6
Session Setup:
10 tracks (each with one to five FX)
5 buses (1-5 FX each)
Here's my Multitrack Window
My Export Settings:
The result open in Audition showing a 1:56 long 30 megabyte silent track:
What am I doing wrong? too many FX going? not enough RAM? did I miss a button or a setting? session formatted wrong? I've been trying for almost a week now.
