For audiobook production purposes there are lots of standards.

For example: https://www.acx.com/help/acx-audio-submission-requirements/201456300#Head-Tail-Spacing

There are 2 big major problems in Audition (ACX standards).

1- The separate track file lengths are not synchronized with the lengths shown in multitrack editor and there is no easy way to do that. (If you delete some part of the original track the length of the multitrack version stays the same, what is the purpose of that?)

2-There is no easy way to check room tone length in the end of tracks

If you have over 100 tracks in multitrack you have to do that manually by grabbing the endpoint of every track, moving it back, releasing the mouse button, grabbing again and moving again to right where you cannot move the out point more. Ok that was synchronizing. Checking the length of the room tone is another story. Since İ cannot use the timeline for multiple tracks as reference.

At this point another method would ease my pain, like selecting multiple tracks and aligning them to right or at least being able to reverse all selected tracks at once.

I hope I could explained my problem and needs in a clean way. Because at that point I'm feeling like audition is not the right tool for my job. My projects are rejected caused by those kind of easy mistakes.

It’s a feature for podcasters mainly. You can use markers, and save them to wav/mp3 files using “save with all metadata” feature in the export settings. However - they are stored in a different format. The podcast chapters that are commonly used by all podcast platforms are in the ID3 tag of an mp3 file.

When I want to prepare my podcasts I have to use other software to transform markers into chapters.

Like Forecast (only accepts wav files which can be huge, and when they exceed 2Gb app just refuses to work properly), or Auphonic (which is great, but you have to pay for using it when you have a lot of podcasts on your hands... ;)).

It would be awesome if Audition had this feature built in.

When I'm editing in the multitrack, and I have a VST-3 plugin on a bus or a master chain (in this case: a reverb from Waves, but it also happens with other plugins), stopping playback and then initiating playback again will play a bit of the reverb trail when the playback starts back up.

I'm using the latest version of Audition CC on MacOS 10.15.7.

It's like the audio engine is continuing to process the reverb in the background, and then when you start playback again, it will pick up where it left off when you stopped. It doesn't affect workflow other than it just being a nuisance whenever I'm jumping between voiceover takes. The issue goes away when I've disabled the plugin from the bus, or when using the AU version of the same plugin.

Hi everyone!

As I'm working on a video game ambiance sound, I needed to create a seamless audio. So I exported a multitrack session with all of my sounds. I imported the result (which isn't seamless), cut the beginnning and put it at the end with the fade-in/out feature (pic1). So, in Audition, when I listen to the audio, it's perfectly seamless, there's no cut or anything.

Once it's exported, the audio seems good when imported in Audition, the sound is perfectly cut (2nd track on pic2).

BUT

When you play the sound in any other software, there's a cut when the sound loops. After looking for answers, we checked the exported audio file in Audacity, and it appears Audition creates a random duration of blank space at the beginning and at the end of the exported audio (pic 3 & 4). As Audition doesn't seem to detect this blank space, we had to cut it in Audacity, which is pretty annoying to do :/

Do you have the same issue as I do? If not, how am I able to fix this?

Thanks for reading!

Adobe will not allow my Creative Labs AE-9 sound card to work in MME mode...Adobe states there is an internal device error when you try to select any of the options in this category. This mode is necessary for me to be able to record my Sibelius songs into an audio version. I have always been able to select the What you Here option and record not only Sibelius, but also things like a live Pod Cast or chat. I use Audition because this allows me to then edit the audio files and fix any quality issues. This is not working currently but has worked with no issues in the past.
Adobe will not let me load my external effects programs even though Adobe is pointed to the correct VST folder and the VST's are located there...Adobe shows none of my external effects programs that are available. These effects include one's from East West Sounds Online ( I have their Composer Cloud Plus ) and some from Native Instruments. The effects work just fine in Sibelius Ultimate, and I was able in the past to load these effects into Audition to add reverb and other desirable effects to the audio tracks to provide a better listening experience upon final mixdown.

Adobe sees my ASIO drivers (Provided by Creative Labs) but does not allow for duplexing (Listening and Recording at the same time), nor does it see Sibelius as an input device. I know that Audition does not work with Windows ASIO drivers, but as you can see from the screen shots, the ASIO driver I have is from Creative Labs. And I tested the system with one of your employee's - Parul by plugging in a microphone to the external control system XLR jack on the AE-9 soundcard and recording me talking. The system recorded my voice (we could see the meters moving and a wav file creation happen in Audition, but no audio was heard upon playback. If I were going to use the ASIO mode in Audition, I would need a way to get the audio from Sibelius to Audition for it to record, and then a way to hear that audio being played back in Audition. In other DAW programs this recording is possible due to a function called Rewire. While Sibelius supports this function, in Audition, the function while supported, does not work. Also, even just loading a wav file into Audition and trying to play it back produces on audio from either my headphones or my speakers. ( This also always worked in the past )

When pasting files into multitrack, it doesn't scroll to the end of the new file. Instead, I have to hit "End" and then hold the right arrow key to get enough of a gap to snap the next one to the end of it.

Also, it would be nice if I could insert several multitrack clips at once and have them distribute correctly to individual tracks. Currently, if I try to insert multiple multitrack clips, it tries to cram them all into one track. If I insert them individually, it breaks them up correctly into individual tracks.

For instance, the Behringer X32 X-Live card records 32-track multitrack files, and I usually end up with about 7 such files I need to paste in, one after the other.
