Adobe Audition has been adopted by many journalist in Canada as the field/home audio editor during COVID-19. Only a few journalist were using it pre COVID-19 but now with most journalist working from home many more are attempting to use it. At the Canadian public broadcaster DALET is the in-house Networked editing system. I am appealing to Adobe to update the file management in Audition. For less tech savvy journalist Audition has been a nightmare doing their job. You create a session and than you add different files to the session. The next job is to extract clips, name them and place them somewhere, a bin maybe. I can isolate a clip, Save to New, and Save As with a new name. Sound great, right? My clips are visible in the Files window, with the new name along with the sesx file and my original sound files. I can save this session but when I reopen, my clips that I created and named are not listed, only the original sesx and sound files. The clips are on the computer somewhere but having to find them and drag them back is very cumbersome especially when working on deadline, and many have missed their deadline because of the slow cumbersome editing process. I can see from the many posts in this Community that users have been complaining about this for years. Whatever the reason has been not to make this improvement, please rethink your strategy. This update would make the lives of so many journalist less stressful while reporting on this horrific world wide event.

Welcome
I am blind user of your trial version of adobe audition, however i am totally blind user with big experience of using Windows operating system and MacOS with screen readers. Unfortunatelly the adobe audition has not accessible on both platforms. It is most important to add the accessibility features to your APP such as accessibility assistant in acrobat reader. There are lots of users with visually empires around the world who use the computers and mobile devices as second eyes. I am radio journalist and editing audio material is my work, so adding this feature will improve my work rapidly.
Kind regards Lukas
Ps. I can test your result in the beta team channel or another way.

Made quite a leap from CS6 to 13.
Not feeling a lot of love for the newer interface.

Either go back to basic white/gray or give me the ability to change the color of the legends in the work spaces. That blue! Please.

I don't really need tabs on everything. The transport, the clock, the level meters? I know what these are and the tabs take up a lot of working space. Going to the menu bar occasionally to make changes is not all that tough.

And could we PLEASE get rid of that stupid jump during recording. Just let the cursor / slider thing sit in the spot of my choice and auto-scroll as it records.

I realize to some, these are minor annoyances and I haven't bumped into some of the nightmares other folks are talking about. I'm digitizing vinyl right now but am getting more and more video tweaking work. I have yet to be able to fix audio and generate a file with Audition and Premiere Pro working hand-in-hand.

From what I'm reading, it seems like somebody is doing an awful lot of cutesy busy work instead of fixing real problems. CC is a suite, people! Talk to each other and get this **** in group already.

Hello,

I've asked about crashes regarding the wideorbit plug in before. Adobe told me to talk to Wideorbit. Wideorbit told me to talk to Adobe. Clearly Adobe and Wideorbit are not talking to each other.

In short if, i attempt to save a session that has a mono wideorbit .wave file - the program crashes.

This just happened to me (and happens somewhat regularly if i'm not perfectly careful)

What's even worse, is that right before the crash i saved the session (the wide orbit file separately) and all was well. I then hit save again, and the session crashed. Adobe asks if i would like to continue the session i had started, and it seems to forget that I just saved it prior to it crashing.

Frankly, for the amount of money it costs to license this software it's really disappointing that it crashes so often. I would gladly buy it for my personal use if it wasnt riddled with problems. Adobe has switched to a subscription model, i assume to battle back against software pirating. But considering how buggy the software is - i honestly can't blame people for doing what they do. Paying for something means you should get what you pay for. hundreds of dollars a year for buggy software seems like a really bad deal.

I am pretty sure there won't be any solution to this problem as it's been happening for years and it doesn't even seem that Adobe or Wideorbit is even beginning to look into it. I just thought I'd send this email I have no other recourse. I have to justify to my managers why we should pay Adobe for their software. It may be time to seek alternative DAW software that doesn't crash on a daily basis - and who's tech support doesn't pass the buck.

Thanks for reading.

I am leaping from CS6 to CC. What used to be a simple WIndows process is not so simple anymore thanks to Audition, so I felt it good that someone remind you that, if you don't have any sound, Audition is a pretty worthless applications. It used to be you'd right click on the speaker in the taskbar and go to recording options and you could control the input of anything. Now you have to go into Audition, which has not one but two titles for the same thing: You have Sound Controls, and you have Audio Controls. They mean the same thing. But they are in two different places, and don't work depending on what peripherals you might have plugged in. Let's start with the easy one. If you want to record your voice you use a mic. Most sound cards have a jack for a mic. But My laptop does not. It only has a jack for earphones. Which is pretty typical for laptops. Mine has a built-in mic, but I'll be danged if I know what controls the input levels. I can usually get to it, but not before going through three locations. Next case: You want to record a song off You Tube (public domain of course). Used to be you'd crank up the line volume and voila. Not anymore. Now I have to change some setting in Audition to do that. I had a chat session and the person changed it so that it works, but I don't know what she did, or why it needed changing. Next Scenario: You plug in a mic.instrument interface. Those used to get plugged into the line-in on the sound card. Now it gets plugged into a USB port. Mics are mixed with guitars and keyboards, etc. And of course the interface has its own software which usually doesn't play nice with Audition. So those controls sometimes work, sometimes don't. But if you have an interface plugged in, you now have THREE sets of volume controls and you hope one works. You have the right-click on the speaker in the taskbar (which usually doesn't do anything anymore), you have the Audition/Windows controls sometimes called Sound Controls, sometimes called Audio controls. And you usually have settings in Audition that need to change. With no rhyme or reason why or what the controls are supposed to do. And third you have the audio interface software (which usually gets loaded with the drivers) and now you have THREE places where you have to go to try and get the incoming signal from the audio interface to work, And although the audio interface has a Headphone jack, the artist needs to use that. But with a sound device plugged into USB, the headphone jack on the side of the laptop (3/8") is turned off. So you, as engineer, can't hear anything, or adjust the mix the talent is hearing (other than themselves).

Wow did this get complicated or what?

You need to re-design all this so there is ONE place for the user to go to control input volumes, output volumes, out put capabilities, etc. rather than three!!! This is simply ridiculous. You can't use AUDITION without SOUND! And you've made it next to impossible to control where sound is coming from, and how its going to get recorded. And this used to be SO EASY!!!! What have you done?

Maybe you need a tutorial that slowly and clearly explains what sound AUDITION is going to record, or not record. And you need to explain WHERE all the controls (the one's that work) are going to be and what settings you need, and which ones you need to change back when you are finished recording sound in the computer system such as a the audio of a You Tube file, or a sound or sounds you are pumping into the system via an audio interface. Hey you know, simple was pretty good with CS6. What a mess Audition is now.
