adobe audition should add a comping vocal function.
reminder for those who not knows:
comping vocals is when the producer or engineer will record several vocal takes of the same part.
They then cut together the best pieces of each into a single flawless take.
An arrow to expand the several vocal takes and to hide them with a second click on the arrow would be awesome so you can expand, make changes and then hide the comped vocals so u only get 1 left like other daws do this!
That would extremely fasten up the workflow and would be awesome for all musicians not only vocals.
pls type in on youtube "comping vocals" or something similar if you not exactly know what i mean cause my english is not the best :)

Working in Mulitrack in Audition, mixing down, and ultimately saving the mixed-down file as a .wav - according to Audition, everything works and looks normal.

However, when I try to bring that mixed-down file into another program, in this instance After Effects, the following errors appear:

==============

After Effects warning: A nullptr was dereferenced.

[click Ok]

After Effects error: Could not read from the source. Please check the settings and try again. (86::1)

[click OK]

After Effects error: file [filename] cannot be imported - this '.wav' file is damaged or unsupported.

==============

I also attempted to import into Premiere, but the program froze and had to be force-quit.

Please provide any updates or workarounds. Thank you.

Audition Build 22.4.0.49
After Effects 22.4.0 (Build 56)
Premiere Pro Build 22.4.0. (Build 57)

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

BUG: Using Audition 22.0.0.96 on iMac Catalina + 2nd Display.
Audition remembers window position, but too difficult to make it forget.
Used Audition with window positioned on 2nd display. Closed program, and connected 2nd display to a different computer. Next day reconnected the 2nd display to iMac and opened Audition. Nothing appeared to happen. Finally figured out that the window was off the iMac screen but not on the 2nd display where it should have been. Other programs can figure out to appear on the 2nd display no problem, but Audition window just hangs out off screen where you can't see it. Pressing F3 it appears, but can't get it to place on 2nd monitor because next time I open it, it's hidden off screen again. Can only use it on the iMac screen to avoid spending 1/2 hour trying to find the Audition window next time I open it. Please fix.

I'm curious about some added functionality to Adobe Audition. I work in radio and was happy to see that Adobe Audition had functionality for Wide Orbit Radio Automation Metadata. By this I mean, Artist, Title, Intro and EOM information could be saved in the wav form and then read by Wide Orbit automation - thereby saving millions of radio people the extra step of having to enter this information manually in Wide Orbit's file system.

I'm now working for Humana as their Senior Radio Station Consultant. Yes, we have a radio station! We use APEX and DIGILINK by Arrakis Systems and I'm curious if it would be possible to include the same metadata functionality Wide Orbit has in Adobe Audition, but for APEX/DIGILINK as well?

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.

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’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.

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!!!
