It's currently necessary to open a file, gather amplitude statistics, gather an average FR, save that FR to 1 of 8 color save slots (a few more color presets would be nice...😇), and open the next file to repeat for all files.

Would be incredibly helpful to streamline by providing the option to gather amplitude statistics for all open audio files.

It would be lovely to have the average FR of each open audio file so the FR shows up for the active audio file without the need to wait to process each one separately every time a file is opened or active.

I'd envision this automatic visualization could be an additional neutral color so it wouldn't interfere with the existing 8 save slot colors.

Hello,

I've asked about crashes regarding the wideorbit plug in before. Adobe told me to talk to Wideorbit. Wideorbit told me to talk to Adobe. Clearly Adobe and Wideorbit are not talking to each other.

In short if, i attempt to save a session that has a mono wideorbit .wave file - the program crashes.

This just happened to me (and happens somewhat regularly if i'm not perfectly careful)

What's even worse, is that right before the crash i saved the session (the wide orbit file separately) and all was well. I then hit save again, and the session crashed. Adobe asks if i would like to continue the session i had started, and it seems to forget that I just saved it prior to it crashing.

Frankly, for the amount of money it costs to license this software it's really disappointing that it crashes so often. I would gladly buy it for my personal use if it wasnt riddled with problems. Adobe has switched to a subscription model, i assume to battle back against software pirating. But considering how buggy the software is - i honestly can't blame people for doing what they do. Paying for something means you should get what you pay for. hundreds of dollars a year for buggy software seems like a really bad deal.

I am pretty sure there won't be any solution to this problem as it's been happening for years and it doesn't even seem that Adobe or Wideorbit is even beginning to look into it. I just thought I'd send this email I have no other recourse. I have to justify to my managers why we should pay Adobe for their software. It may be time to seek alternative DAW software that doesn't crash on a daily basis - and who's tech support doesn't pass the buck.

Thanks for reading.

When mixing/bouncing down, Audition SHOULD NOT have to reprocess all the track effects if the tracks are pre-rendered. If I prerender all tracks with FX, The mixdown should basically be as fast as if no FX are on tracks.
This is definitely not the case. A mixdown takes the same amount of time whether or not FX are pre-rendered.
For a 90 minute movie score session with lots of HQ FX, this can make the render take hours, when it should take only a few minutes (as if it had no FX).
Makes for a big waste of time waiting for mixes and bounces.

I am leaping from CS6 to CC. What used to be a simple WIndows process is not so simple anymore thanks to Audition, so I felt it good that someone remind you that, if you don't have any sound, Audition is a pretty worthless applications. It used to be you'd right click on the speaker in the taskbar and go to recording options and you could control the input of anything. Now you have to go into Audition, which has not one but two titles for the same thing: You have Sound Controls, and you have Audio Controls. They mean the same thing. But they are in two different places, and don't work depending on what peripherals you might have plugged in. Let's start with the easy one. If you want to record your voice you use a mic. Most sound cards have a jack for a mic. But My laptop does not. It only has a jack for earphones. Which is pretty typical for laptops. Mine has a built-in mic, but I'll be danged if I know what controls the input levels. I can usually get to it, but not before going through three locations. Next case: You want to record a song off You Tube (public domain of course). Used to be you'd crank up the line volume and voila. Not anymore. Now I have to change some setting in Audition to do that. I had a chat session and the person changed it so that it works, but I don't know what she did, or why it needed changing. Next Scenario: You plug in a mic.instrument interface. Those used to get plugged into the line-in on the sound card. Now it gets plugged into a USB port. Mics are mixed with guitars and keyboards, etc. And of course the interface has its own software which usually doesn't play nice with Audition. So those controls sometimes work, sometimes don't. But if you have an interface plugged in, you now have THREE sets of volume controls and you hope one works. You have the right-click on the speaker in the taskbar (which usually doesn't do anything anymore), you have the Audition/Windows controls sometimes called Sound Controls, sometimes called Audio controls. And you usually have settings in Audition that need to change. With no rhyme or reason why or what the controls are supposed to do. And third you have the audio interface software (which usually gets loaded with the drivers) and now you have THREE places where you have to go to try and get the incoming signal from the audio interface to work, And although the audio interface has a Headphone jack, the artist needs to use that. But with a sound device plugged into USB, the headphone jack on the side of the laptop (3/8") is turned off. So you, as engineer, can't hear anything, or adjust the mix the talent is hearing (other than themselves).

Wow did this get complicated or what?

You need to re-design all this so there is ONE place for the user to go to control input volumes, output volumes, out put capabilities, etc. rather than three!!! This is simply ridiculous. You can't use AUDITION without SOUND! And you've made it next to impossible to control where sound is coming from, and how its going to get recorded. And this used to be SO EASY!!!! What have you done?

Maybe you need a tutorial that slowly and clearly explains what sound AUDITION is going to record, or not record. And you need to explain WHERE all the controls (the one's that work) are going to be and what settings you need, and which ones you need to change back when you are finished recording sound in the computer system such as a the audio of a You Tube file, or a sound or sounds you are pumping into the system via an audio interface. Hey you know, simple was pretty good with CS6. What a mess Audition is now.

Hello there! I’ve been an Audition user for years and years now.

Having made some presets for the effect rack (single file and multitrack) I encountered the problem, that for some time now the presets do not work correctly. Maybe it happened in a recent update?

All the effects get loaded into the rack, but with most of them, their respective settings are set to defaults when I load the rack preset.
I have some speech processing chains which I update regularly to make them fit my needs. But there, lot’s of the effects in that preset have gotten reset. Especially Singleband and multiband compression show that problem. Sometimes the effects rack preset saves the internal settings, and sometimes they seem to get lost.
That’s a real problem, I cannot check all effects in all my presets all the time. I have to be sure, that they work and do not reset themselves.

Does anyone else have that problem?I’m using 13.0.5.36
