Hi there,
Tried both dithering options (i.e. with "Enabled" and "Disabled") through
File > Save As > Convert Sample Type > Bit Depth > Advanced > Dithering.
But the saved output file with the 'Dithering' option looks like working in the opposite way (i.e. dithering is disabled when "Enabled" is selected and vice versa).
Notice that I’m currently using Adobe Audition ‘Build 14.2.0.34’ (the previous versions look the same though) and tried 48KHz/16-bit generated tone with extremely small gain (-90 dB) just to see the effects of dithering more clearly.
Additionally,
Close/Reopen the file is required to check out the changes only when Dithering is “Disabled” (but actually dithered). No need to reopen it if “Enabled”.
And the last setting is gone (indicating "Disabled" always) when I revisit the menu again (just to make sure which option I've selected, right before saving it finally) which is not pretty intuitive and confusing.
Hope the GUI get revised, if applicable.

Thanks,
HP Lee

The Diagnostics tool could be SO much more effective and would save me literal hours when editing audio. Some suggestions related to the Diagnostics tab:

When marking audio, there should be an option to delete all the audio that has been marked with range markers. Or, there should be a way to select all of the ranged markers at the same time in the waveform editor. This would allow for not having to select a marker to grab the range in the waveform editor, switch windows to the waveform editor, then hit "delete," then go back to the markers window to select the next one. In 5 minutes of recorded audio it is easy to rack up to 50+ markers and having to switch windows each time is extremely painful time consuming.

The delete audio should be accompanied by a "mute audio" option. Sometimes I use this tool to scan for small breaths or weird noises between takes that I don't necessarily want to just shorten or delete, but instead lower to a specified level.

It seems the Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and Audition only works for one trip. I edit my sequence in Audition, export to Premiere Pro - all works fantastically. Now if the client requests further edits to the sequence (adding in an interview section, removing a section of voiceover, shortening of the soundtrack) I'm stuck. At the moment, I need to start my mix in Audition from scratch as even the "edit original" option given in premiere pro of the stems originally exported from Audition opens up the old edit.

Here's my desired workflow:

EDIT 1:
1) Edit sequence in Premiere Pro
2) "Edit sequence" in Audition
3) Mix sound in Audition
4) "Export to Premiere Pro"
5) Deliver project to client
EDIT 2:
1) Client delivers further edits to make
2) Re-edit in Premiere Pro (for example, add in new interview section)
3) Open sequence in Audition
4) Audition has retained all of the effects, gain adjustments etc. from the EDIT 1 but has now added new interview section.
5) Tweak mix including new interview section
6) "Export to Premiere Pro"
7) Deliver to client

Basically, the same functionality that After Effects seems to have with its Dynamic Link with Premiere Pro where you can go back-and-forth as much as you want.

Now that Premiere Pro has integrated the Pandemic Sound music library into the Essential Sound panel and users everywhere are enjoying the ease of use that comes along with this arrangement, it begs the obvious question: why not have this same functionality in Audition? This would be an absolutely game changing feature for those of us who spend extended amounts of time in Audition and who also regularly need to audition music from outside sources.

I'm also surprised that evidently no one here has asked this question yet, unless I have missed it. So, let's make some noise fellow audio gurus!

Thanks everyone!!!

I recently discovered (July 2021) that Adobe Audition produces a slightly shorter file when exporting a multitrack mix to mp3. In an 25 minute file, it is 2 seconds shorter. It is critical for me as I have a second of silence in the middle of the track and I have to specify the exact location of the silence and it comes out 1 second to early. I have been doing this for years now and it has only happened in the last month or so. It is probably caused by a faulty mp3 conversion in Audition. I converted an exported wav file and converted it to mp3 in another program and the timing was correct.

Please make the keys to return to home be the enter key and zooming be the alt key.

I am cutting video and I can return to the beginning by hitting enter, that key does nothing in Audition, make it do that.

When editing video I hold Alt to zoom, in Audition it's Ctl. In Multi Track make all the keys relevant to the same functions in Premier. It's like the 2 software's are from different companies still. Make it like it's one entire suite where we don't have to recall what key to use and it is all fluid from video to audio and post.

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.

Inserting textual data having special characters associated with correct foreign language usage formatting into Metadata fields will frequently end up with the special character letters being scrambled into something unidentifiable. The initial copy/pasting of the textual data appears to have no anomalies. After saving the metadata input with a saving of the file, the scrambling occurs. Foreign language usage with correct special characters must be allowed to be used without the software scrambling the textual data input.
