I haven't used audition for multi-channel editing for long but just noticed I've been bit by this on multiple outputs and have to re-export tons of audio from audition, re-encode it into something usable externally since audition doesn't support any useful multi-channel file formats natively, and re-mux several hundred GB of video as a result

I'm mainly using it to overlay Rifftrax commentary onto movie audio, and don't have a surround system yet aside from the pseudo-surround built into the TV (but figured it'd be better to do everything as 5.1 just in case) and was noticing that it sounded "off" in some cases. There was also the mystery of why ffmpeg was producing massively smaller encodes of Audition output than of original lossless tracks...

It turns out that for some godforsaken reason, if I create a 5.1 channel multitrack session and drag a 5.1 channel file onto the first track, the default behavior is that the first track is stereo (why, and where is the indicator of this other than output levels which I presumed to be related to my device outputs?), and assumes that I want the 5.1 channel audio I'm dragging into it downmixed to stereo (why would this EVER be the case on a 5.1 session?)

This default behavior / layout / whatever you want to call it is possibly the silliest thing I've ever seen out of editing software aside from the weird encrypted software HEVC encoder binaries Premiere buries in its install directories then tries to decrypt into C:\Users\Public\Documents\, fails miserably, and a result is useless for actually encoding anything. Nobody seems to know how to fix that one or wants to so I'm going with filing a request to change this silly behavior.

I'm really seeing less and less of a reason to keep anything but the basic photography subscription since everything else I've tried to use in the past year has either been broken in weird ways or has newly been broken (the HEVC thing).

Tutorials & Videos in Spanish!

You sell your products in Latinoamérica. I'm from Argentina and it is an effort not only learning a new programme but also doing in English. All the videos are in English. The guy speaking in English and his programme of course is in English. Mine is in Spanish. He speaks fast, move the mouse fast, and the lines are written in English. So, all the process is very difficult and it takes much more time to guess and then to understand. You are the Adobe Company, could you invest a little money in making new videos in Spanish, please? You are selling your products in Latin América. You have to assume that people speaks in Spanish.
I appreciate very much if you can take into account my suggestions.

PS, same thing for the other programmes!

There is a rapidly growing number of users who are editing audiobooks for Audible. Their ACX submission requirements have several standards that must be met - max peak of -3dB, max.min range of avg RMS for file, min noise floor, etc. There are SOOO much easier after editing an audiobook to have a tool that tells you if your audio passes the "ACX Check." It could be added to the Amplitude Statistics Window. Currently the only way to do this is to use the long-running free plugin that only works in Audacity (a 3rd party wrote this and thousands of people use it), and more recently, Sound Forge Pro 15, who have just added that capability.

I'm working on a Mac with Big Sur and noticed something weird. When I use 'Save As' on a mp3 file and open the Finder window, it shows the an incorrect time under the file preview icon. For example, a track shows 7:52 long when it is in fact 4:21. Also when I open the file in VLC Player, the time is wrong. When I play it in VLC and then stop it, the time resets itself to the correct length. I've also noticed something else. When I open a Finder window and the files are set to Symbol view, normally a play icon appears when hovering over the symbol. So you can play the file directly from the Finder window. This is not always the case with files saved from Audition. Sometimes that play graphic appears on the Finder symbol, mostly not.

So two bugs on saved mp3's:
1. the track length shown in audio players or in the Finder window under the mp3 symbol is often incorrect.
2. the Finder play icon that should appear on the file symbol upon hovering over it doesn't always appear

Both are happing only on files saved from Audition.

File splitting, using export audio between range markers...

It gives you the choice to add a prefix and a postfix to the file, thereby being able to automatically and sequentially name the file splits...

it also gives you the option to deselect use marker name in filenames...

However, if you deselect that option, instead of just naming the file with the prefix and postfix, it inserts an underscore.

So, instead of creating a series of files named ABC.1, ABC.2, ABC.3, etc. - you get ABC.1, ABC.2, ABC._3, etc. This then adds time to go in manually and delete the underscore.

If you fix this bug, Audition becomes so much more productive and easy to use for eLearning, etc.
