I am not a sound engineer, but I had to source one when I could not understand why breath sounds on the podcast were being distorted and amplified.

The response from Adobe was to try a different mic. However, the issue was with the podcast template which automatically switched on this function under the Mixer button.

I was not familiar with this function, and it is not on the tutorial I viewed. Neither was my Adobe contact it seems. The engineer, however, was able to locate the issue and switch it off. There is no need for this to be set to "on" by default, as it makes an otherwise natural voice sound raspish and harsh.

It also hugely over-emphasises breath sounds. Would be very grateful if you could fix this for future users.

I have found many people from 2018 that have this issue, and I am incredulous that it hasn't been fixed yet IN THREE YEARS. No preventative measures that were suggested had any effect, such as toggling snapping, holding cmd while I move the clips, dragging very slowly. This also happens when you copy/paste selected clips. Not only does it affect the selected clips, but it will also cause clips in other tracks to unsync. I tried deselecting auto crossfade, but alas, that only applies to each individual clip, which I consider to be a bug in and of itself. The extra time involved in deselecting auto crossfades on every clip associated with moving in addition to every clip in other tracks that are affected, and you can quickly see how unbelievably inconvenient this bug is. The below screenshot is what happened after I dragged the selected clips from Track 1 (now yellow) over the purple clips down to Track 3. This bug, combined with the absence of a simple "shift-select" feature for clips in multi-track gives the impression that this software is completely untenable as a professional post-production audio editing tool. Combined with the high subscription price: I will be switching to something else very soon.

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.

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.

As a podcast and long form voiceover editor it would be incredibly helpful if the clip fade box in the top right and left corner had some preferences for size. the square is tiny.

a huge part of my time editing dialogue is fading clips at the start to iron out bumps from room tone and cutting mid word like to remove an "uhm". To do this, I have to ripple delete, then select the clip, then grab the tiny little box, pull fade, and move along.

It would be nice if we had a preference to make that box a LOT bigger. I realize not everyone wants a 1 inch fade box but I'd kill for it.

Also, I know we dont want a fade box on every clip but it would be a great feature to automatically have the fade box available without selecting the clip for the most recent delete or cut. that would save a click to select the clip and allow us to select and grab the fade box at the same time.

I put in hundreds of fades in an hour-long episode and this would save a ton of time as well as prevent accidentally moving a clip because I miss the itty bitty box when going to fade.
