Repeatable error: I save 21 files as a batch, either to change format or to run a favorite. I know I want to do further processing, so I make sure "Close files upon completion" is unchecked, but I check the option to remove the files from the Batch Process panel (well, it merely says "panel," but in past versions it has always meant to remove the files from he Batch Process panel, not the Files panel). So far today, since updating Audition, all the files are closed at the end of the batch process, even though I did not ask Audition to close them. This makes me have to reopen the files, a waste of my time. And then Audition crashed!!! After restarting Audition I had to redo some work I'd already done to prepare for the second batch process that is also preparatory for the next step in my workflow. (Now I'm gnashing my teeth.)

3rd time: This time the filenames stayed in the Files window as I'd intended. But I wanted to add a couple files to the window, nd the Open dialog box does not show any files having been copied into the destination folder. This despite the directory (macOS Catalina) showing all of the files present and correctly named. The only way I could open the two file I wanted to add was to quit Audition and then reopen it. Now I see that the 3rd batch process concluded with Audition arbitrarily changing the bit depth of the files. I did not order any change to the file formatting as part of the Export Settings.

This begins to truly disturb me. I love how fast Audition is on my new laptop compared to the old one I recently drowned, but yipes. These failures in file management make me feel wary about the potential for technical failures that might cause me to have to redo work if my files are rejected after I complete my steps. A painful thought. I guess I'm going to have to make more backups than usual to make sure I can return to states that are viable until the new Audition 13 settles down.

Please correct this promptly. I suspect it's an easy fix on your end because it's a new error in the latest build. Unless, yipes, the crashing!

Thanks.

Audition 13.0.1 has done something to all of the Tokyo Dawn Labs plugins on my system. When playing back realtime, the effects are active and working properly. When exporting, they are simply not applied. (It took me a while to work out what was wrong as - the quickest test was to take a file and use the TDR Kotelnikov GE compressor with an extreme threshold & ratio to flatten audio - works audibly whilst playing back, but when you apply/render, the file is completely untouched.)

Behaviour is the same when using 'apply effects rack' in the waveform editor, as well as on multitrack mixdowns.

Verified that the TDR plugins are working correctly on Logic Pro.

Mac OSX Version: 10.15.2
Macbook Pro 2018 13inch. i5 2.3 GHz, 8GB Ram, Intel iris on board graphics, + Blackmagic eGPU (radeon pro 580)

A rollback to version 13.0 has fixed the problem for me, though I did lose a few of my saved fx rack presets. (They were made in the last version of 12.xxxxx - most have come back, but not the most recent ones).

Hey there,

I know, currently this is not possible, but I'm thinking about this for a long time (a lot Audition went by since) and I cannot understand why you did't have implemented this feature I'm requesting here not 12 versions before version 13.

Currently we have a lot of podcasts, podcast customers and podcast editing employees in our firm. So my request here comes from a very "business like" standpoint. 

My team and I love to cut podcasts with jkl. That's it.

And with Screenflow and even (that bugs me most) with Adobe Premiere I can double click "l" in order to playback double speed without changing the pitch level. I think professionally this is called "monochromatic" playback. However. 

Why can Screenflow do that as a just simple Video recording tool (it's not a DAW guys). And why can even Adobe Premiere play double speed monochromatic? It's also specialized in video editing and not audio. But it just can do it out of the box. It's really nice to cut audio dobule speed with adobe premiere in comparison to audition... I could say with a wink.

But the video tool which I expect to be the most advanced, Adobe Audition, made by a company sooooo huge in creative editing, that I just can't understand why I even have to create this post. I mean our company is spending thousands of EUR per year for your software and other companies do too. So please, dear adobe audition developer team: 

Why isn't there a feature under Edit>Preferences>Playback which is called: "monochromatic JKL Playback"  

And why don't you see the trend, that many many content creators today cut podcast and voices of this world in 1.4x - 2x speed for faster workflows?

What also wonders me is that high paying customers of adobe audition tolerate that playback speed can only set to haf, 1x and double speed for jkl shuttle. Guys: you are a professional sound edition software. Called DAW I think. Even Vimeo can do such thing.  

Sorry I sound rude, but I'm waiting for a few years for such a feature. And it's a very customer centric feature. Steve Jobs once should have opened your eyes for such kind of problems. He was aware that saving 1 second computer booting speed saves time in such a great measure equivalent to more than many human lives added together if you add all the wasted time together for all your customers. 

I mean: when my employee listens to 30 hours audio material a week and you save him only a quarter just by adding this feature, you do us a great favour. 

But somehow you must be blind for this problem. There are so many threads requesting such a feature. You should listen more. 

More and more companies will release podcasting tools the next years. Quite a few of these will think about playback speed. If you want to vie with podcasting DAW's in the future, this is the most important feature you should care about. Make people being quicker 😀

All the best and looking forward to such a feature, 

your (apart from that) happy customer

Currently when using keystroke M to add markers, Audition names the new marker with the prefix specified in the Marker Prefix field in Preferences and a 2 cipher number is assigned sequentially with no user control.

The requested upgrades would be:

1) Allow users to set/reset starting number during a session, regardless of existing markers

2) If user sets a new Marker, then immediately renames it in the Marker panel, a pop dialog box could then prompt user if new markers should be named with the same prefix (this prompt could have a “Do not show me again” checkbox so this behavior could be silenced.

This will save the user from opening preferences multiple times in a session to adjust track name prefixes to identify particular parts.

3) Allow user to rename all prefixes of a group of selected makers with one edit by selecting all the markers to be changed and edit the prefixes as a group, while leaving the number suffixes alone.

4) Similar to 3) above, Allow user to rename all numeric suffixes of a group of selected makers with one edit by selecting all the markers to be changed and edit the suffixes as a group, e.g. user sets starting number and have program number selected markers sequentially.
