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!

I'm a heavy user of adobe audition and I often use the tool 'Loudness Radar Meter' which allows you to quickly see the relative loudness of different tracks in audition. Unfortunately, since v13 every time I would attempt to use the tool audition will crash - I will be greeted with the spinning wheel of death (on mac). There's no other option than to force quit. This has also meant that old files where the tool was used and left active are now inaccessible, as opening them will cause audition to crash. I tried updating to the latest version of adobe, but this doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

Adobe Audition 2020 is crashing during recording. It regularly locks-up after 90 minutes of recording, although this latest crash occurred after only 41 minutes. It has occurred using both of my mixer interfaces a Mackie Onyx (via Firewire connection and ASIO driver) and an Allen & Heath Zed 14 (via USB Connection and MME driver).

System Details:
Windows 10 Pro 64
Intel Core i7-2600 @3.40 GHz
16 GB RAM
RAM Reserved for Audition 11 GB
Primary Temp Drive - External USB 3.0 (473 GB Free)
Secondary Temp Drive - Internal HD (130 GB Free)

Crashes also occurred when primary drive was internal HD

I've been using Audition with no issues until this week.
Now, I have had dozens of instances of Audition crashing to a point where it is almost unusable.
I edit a podcast and the crash continuously occurs when I go into a specific track in Waveform, make changes to EQ, Compression, Gate in the Effects Rack, apply it and then return to Multitrack.
Once I return Audition shuts down completely and leaves me with the attached Error message. If I can't find a solution to this soon I'll be forced to look for alternative software as I'm losing valuable time with this issue.

Below is the Log Files for the crash:

And attached are my System Info and the Error Message.

The operating system (w10 home), correctly updated. The sound card (Realtek High Definition Audio) correctly installed. The graphics card (GTX 1060) correctly installed.
The operating system correctly plays the native audio clips. Other programs play audio / video tracks smoothly (Audition).
The only program that is unable to output sound is Premiere Pro V14.3. With this program I am deaf. The software plays the clips (bars and tone) without problem, the level meter moves correctly. The program can export the clip successfully. The playback of the clip exported from windows media player, or VLC, is correct.

Note: Edit menu / preferences / audio hardware ... correctly configured. (I attach a photo)

Please, someone tell me what is happening!

Thank you.

I've had Audition crash on me several times today. The first three times, I was attempting to uncheck the 'Show marker lines...' option in my Preferences. Once I exited that window, each time it would show the hourglass next to my cursor, then the program would abruptly crash. The fourth time, I did not change the marker setting in Preferences, but simply opened the Preferences window and then closed it. Same result. No error message popped up before or during the crashes.

Between some of these crashes, I restarted my computer, which did not help.

The crash recovery system did not seem to work properly when I attempted to use it. It told me there were no file assets. Thankfully, I had just recently saved, so I haven't lost anything. I just closed out Audition's attempt at recovering data, reopened Audition, and went to File > Open Recent to reopen my project. Everything remained properly linked to the source media.

It seems that others in the forums have experienced crashes, but nothing that exactly lines up with this one as far as I can tell.

I'm working on a dynamically linked video from Premiere Pro. I'm using an HP Spectre x360 convertible 15 inch laptop from 2019 with 16GB RAM. The processor is an Intel core i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80 GHz / 2.30 GHz, 4 cores, 10th gen. Windows 10, 64 bit. NVIDIA GeForce MX250 as well as Intel UHD Graphics. I'm running Premiere Pro version 14.4.0, build 38. Audition v13.0.10.32.

I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but the Dynamic Link only works properly when I keep both Premiere and Audition open at the same time.

I've submitted this issue directly to the Audition bugs email address, including crash reports, logs, and a screenshot. I also posted this in the Support forums.

Summary: Audition is frequently and randomly crashing. I'm working on a podcast which uses a lot of movie clips and a few different interview tracks. A lot of the video files are mp4s, but they seem to be generating new wav files fine. My Conformed Files folder is huge tho. It was working fine for about a month and then it started to crash on me. Now it's happening all the time and I can't figure out why!

I've reached out to Adobe support twice: once through chat and one phone call. Nothing has worked. So far I have done all of the following trouble shooting steps: reset preferences, trashed preferences, restarted machine, updated OS, updated audition, uninstalled/re-installed audition, cleaned media cache, different external hardrives, and tried on a different computer and a different user and still crashing.

All other adobe software is working fine and stable.
