I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro.

For the past two months, I've been having consistent problems with recorded audio that has no distortion, and was recorded at high quality, suddenly having awful distortion when I import it into Audition. It's like a crackly fuzz kind of sound. Or, I'll have multitrack sessions with a podcast episode I've been editing, and what was once sounding like normal clean audio, will then play back distorted.

I also have not been able to record in multitrack view for several months. I cannot arm the track to record (the R button is inoperable), so I can't record unless I'm in an individual waveform view. (See screenshot)

I've had a support team member help delete cached files (or something like that) once before already. She created a new "Audition" folder in my Library, and renamed the previous folder as "oldAudition." That temporarily solved the audio distortion problem, but not the inability to record in multitrack.

Then this weekend, the distortion started happening again. I uninstalled the most recent version of Audition, and redownloaded Adobe Audition version 10. That still didn't solve my problem.

Please create an updated version of Adobe to solve these problems, and please also consider improving your customer support. It's way more difficult than it should be for me to speak to someone who is a native English speaker on the phone and sort these issues out, or at the very least send a detailed email. This forum is a last resort.

I love Audition. I want to keep using it. But I'm about ready to call it quits at this point.

I just discovered that when saving a file as MP3, the quality is very poor, even at 320kbps CBR.

I simply noticed with my ears that it sounded muddy. When I checked the waveform it was confirmed.

So see if this is the best MP3 has to offer, I did a similar export (320Kbps CBR) using Izotope RX6.

And the export from RX6 sounded much better and punchier, with a similar file size. This too can be confirmed in the attached screenshot.

Please improve.. So many MP3's, unnecessarily sounding bad... :-(

I won't be using it anymore, but many people rely on audition.

i haven't seen this reported anywhere elsewhere so it seams like I'm an edge case, but essentially Audition for me is acting like programs do when your CPU is taxed 100%. The whole program is just extremely laggy, the whole window takes ages to move then I try to drag it around, it takes a long time to open effect windows, the playhead is laggy, ect... It's worth stating that my PC is pretty overpowered for Audition so there shouldn't be any issues like this and there weren't any before. It's just acting like my PC is working too hard but it's not, i have no idea why this would happen besides some weird bug.

Upon importing .mp4 video files with audio attached into my multitrack project, the video files will offline itself as soon as I "save" the project, leaving me with only the audio from the .mp4.

If I try to relink this media to the original .mp4 in it's original location (I work on our companies server, so it's in a different "output" folder), it will continue to do the same offline action of copying the file into the "Imported Files" folder and then unlinking itself. The only way to get it to stick is to link the media to the .mp4 it has copied within the "Imported Files" folder inside the project folder.
