If for some reason my studio power goes out or if my computer restarts for an update, many of the audio files I have do not restore. The majority of them are voice/audio files I've recorded as an audio file and was still working on them. This does not happen all the time, but when it does it is frustrating.

My second issue, is I produce mutiple radio programs using the same music but change the audio drops depending on the radio stations requirements. When I cut and paste files, many are corrupt in the new multi-track session. I am forced to delete them and slide in new tracks from my storage file. Any suggestions on these issues?

1: The marker (1.jpg) supported by the audition 3.0 version is no longer supported by the new version (2.jpg).
When our company is making timbre loops, the ic company’s software does not support the latest markers, but only supports the previous markers. Hope your company can support the previous marker.

2: Audition 3.0 version saves the file after editing the audio without adding a large string of codes to the end of the audio source file. The new version of audition is saved after editing Wanaudio. The audio file will become larger because a large comment is added at the end of the audio. The file 00 pi0814k56 audition CC.wav is the size processed by the new version of the software, which is 5k more. (03.jpg, 04.jpg).
At present, the software provides the option not to write metadata, but this will cause the marker of the audio loop point to be lost (05.jpg). I hope that your company can add a separate option to not add the comment that causes the file to become larger ( 04.jpg)

00 pi0814k56.wav.jpg is the wav file used in the file, it can be used by removing the extension .jpg.
thank you very much!

Currently, when exporting a multitrack mixdown of a 5.1 file (let's say a 5.1 main track flagged as "Music" and ducked against a stereo file panned to cover mostly center channel exported to 32-bit float PCM, since this is what I'm mainly doing)... For a ~2 hour file, the "Time remaining" estimate starts off low... maybe 3 minutes. Then, up until the 50% progress mark, the estimate just continuously increases. The actual mixdown may take 10-15 minutes but it's impossible to know without setting a timer. It's also a single-threaded process, which is pretty terrible since we're talking about uncompressed PCM here (not some weird compression scheme that requires a bunch of lookahead and deltas from previous frames) and audition is already aware of all points where ducking is happening.

My computer in 1999 had two physical CPUs, and consumer-grade CPUs have been multi-core for a very long time now. Practically all other high end software has been threaded wherever possible since the 90s (I didn't buy two processors to play Quake), and even game developers, who are notoriously and monumentally terrible when it comes to keeping up with hardware (and programming in general, these days) have started writing multithreaded games. I know audio has many situations where it's hard or impossible to parallelize an algorithm, but I'm not talking about any of those.

Anyway, after 50% is hit, it apparently enters the "write to disk phase" and the huge time estimate that's built up over the first 50% rapidly disappears as the file is written to an NVMe in 20 seconds or so.

Finally, the progress hangs at 99% for around 30 seconds. Audition will go into whited out "not responding" mode if interacted with during that phase. The file is already written to disk at this point and usable by anything that only opens for reading, so I'm not sure what it's doing here.

Nothing else can really be done in Audition during the whole export process since the "parallelize disk access" setting does nothing, apparently, as the decoders and encoders seem to share one thread that will pause to complete the newest item. If a mixdown is going on, it'll just pause the mixdown while audition continues using a single CPU core.

Anyway, I can deal with the slowness of export, but it would be wonderful if, since Audition knows exactly how much audio it has to process, and can figure out how long it's going to take per second very quickly, it would spit out something resembling the correct number on the interface so I can leave the room and come back in X minutes instead of having to check up on it randomly... which is mainly an issue because after the PCM file is exported I have to use FFMPEG to convert it to an AAC or AC3 file manually since audition decided not to support any useful compressed multi-channel file formats after dropping Dolby licenses.

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

A bug exists that causes the audio device to not respond and cause an error. Screen shot of error attached. I'm able to repeat this over and over and get the same result.

It occurs ONLY during the following steps:

1 - Open Audition

2 - Double-click on the session file in Explorer to then open the session

If you open the session in this way, Audition must be closed completely and re-opened to get the audio device working again.

The error does NOT occur when:

• Opening the session from the File > Open dialogue

• Opening the session directly from Explorer without opening Audition first.

My setup:

Windows 11, Intel i9, 64GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 3090, USB audio device.

when I export a file as MP3 with 320 kbps quality via Audition, frequencies between 16 kHz and 20 kHz are cut off. this problem is independent of the source file. for example, when I export a FLAC file as MP3 this happens. When I edit a full frequencies range MP3 file (20 Hz - 20 kHz) and than export it this problem also happens too.
The funny thing is that when I do the export process with Audacity which is a free and open source software, this problem does not happen. I tried the same experiment with other paid softwares such as Acoustica 7, iZotope Ozone 9, iZotope RX 9 Audio Editor, and as I mentioned, frequencies above 16 kHz are not cut like Audition in any of them. I think this problem is caused by Fraunhofer MP3 Encoder but I can't do anything to change it.
So I ask you developers to solve this problem. Instead of Fraunhofer MP3 Encoder, you can use LAME Encoder like other softwares as I mentioned above, or at least you can add a setting to the program where we can change the Encoder even if you do not use it officially, thanks.
