Creating a brand new application for Podcasters would be great because Audition doesn't make it easy.

Some features that would be great include mixing the following apps and features together:
1) alitu.com - The Adobe Rush equivalent of Audition
2) headliner.app - to create audiograms for social media of any length
3) Being able to rename clips of audio from a full podcast timeline so that it is easier to make highlights clips for social media.
4) If you need to create, for example, a 10-minute audiogram for social media, the AI would be able to auto-fit your clips in the most intelligent way in order to hit your time target. You could prioritise each clip from 1 - 10 and the software should be able to create the optimal highlights episode itself
5) Automatically create a stero track from a mono track recorded on an iPhone or a USB microphone

For whatever reason, when I opened Audition 2020 today, a dialog box said "settings from Audition 12 have been found" and asked if I wanted to import them. I don't think I ever used Audition 12. I use Audition 2020 and whatever was immediately prior to that (CC I think).

So I clicked "no," do not import my settings from Audition 12. Then when the application finished opening, many of my preference settings were reset to defaults. My key commands, display theme, and hardware settings were gone.

I've spent a couple hours replicating the ones I need to work today, but it will take me much longer to do the rest, It's slowed my work down to a standstill.

I can't get the dialog choice back to import settings, and I'm not sure that would fix the problem anyway. WTH Adobe?

So whatever you did to ***** that up so badly, don't do it. Audition is a premium product, but it sure doesn't feel like one today. I don't pay too much attention to that subscription fee going out the door every month, but today worth about negative year's worth of fees.

Also, your help is terrible.

I’ll just post a (slightly modified for context) message that I sent to Jason Levine as an open letter since there is literally no information or outreach about this out there.

TL;DR, I’m very close to switching DAWs (likely Pro Tools) even though I don’t want to. Between this and a lack of a real strip silence feature that’s also usable in the nondestructive environment, and which doesn’t force me to ripple my track and/or export to hundreds of useless markers, it’s becoming less and less viable to continue editing in Audition.

Hi Jason,

Please forgive me for contacting you directly. I’ve exhausted all other search options to the extent my capabilities allow, including emailing Adobe support to no avail.

I’ve got a 2019 16” MacBook Pro with 8GB 5500M and a 2018 Mac mini connected to a 16GB Vega 64 eGPU. The former is the 8-core i9 with 32GB RAM. The latter is a 6-Core i7 with 32GB RAM.

I’m running simple multitrack podcast recording and editing sessions in the latest version of Audition. The MBP is used primarily for editing, the mini is what we normally use for recording. We’re recording at 48/32 in mono. I typically apply plugins from iZotope and Waves. My effects chain is usually 7-8 items long per track. Usually 2-4 tracks. One track per individual on the podcast. They’re recording at same rates (at worst, 44.1/16, but assume it’s usually 48/32).

After doing my initial edit I usually do a mixdown to a single WAV at the same rates. This way I can deal with a single track for fine-tuning my pacing, using markers to denote chapters, and mastering to yet another WAV. This is my final, which I later encode (including artwork, links, chapters) to MP3 (160Kbps, mono) in a phenomenal little app by Marco Arment called Forecast (which uses all 8 or 6 cores just beautifully).

My biggest issue is the first mixdown on either device. I’ve noticed on iStat Menus that on either computer only a single CPU core will fire up. On the 16” MBP, it doesn’t even look at the discrete GPU. It stays on the Intel the whole time (even with energy settings that force the discreet GPU on adapter power). On the Mac mini, the eGPU (which I’ve set in macOS to specifically use with Audition, Premiere, Lightroom, etc.) fires up to full bore, but still doesn’t seem fully leveraged. On the MBP a typical 70-80 minute show with two tracks will take over an hour to mix down. On the mini, even with Audition clearly leveraging the eGPU (to what extent or why, I do not know as I thought a mixdown of audio only would be mostly processor intensive), it still takes about 50-60 minutes. In fact, I suspect the difference is more about slightly better thermal performance than the eGPU.

Why isn’t Audition leveraging more of the processor cores? It seems like Creative Cloud applications for 2020 made fairly good leaps in leveraging discrete GPUs in certain apps, even if non-workstation class, but multicore processors are seriously underused across the entire creative suite. Is it just me? Am I missing a setting? It just seems like this stuff should be so much faster. As I take on more client editing work this becomes a real issue. I can use my Mac mini as a passive little render farm so I can free up my MBP, but it’s still taking that hour.

Do you have any insight on this?

I genuinely appreciate your time and once again apologize for reaching out via this forum.

Best,

Gilbert Tang

Audiotin seems to be the most useless program I have ever used since I got my first mac in year 1992. The one and only time I try to use it is in Premiere CC when I try to use the command "Edit Clip in Audition".

And it NEVER works, even if I have the newest version updated; the Audition opens, but the clip does not appear in it.

I have tried to remove the programs, update the programs, use the old&new version mixed - and nothing helps. It has been around TWO years since I was last time able to edit clip in Audition with the command "Edit Clip in Audition"..

Could You kindly tell me and the others, is there a way to get the Audition work? Or if You cannot do that, could You add the basic audio tools to Premiere then?

Ever since upgrading to AA 2019, none of the audio files or sessions will play within dropbox as they did before in 2018. I've gone thru this countless times with support and we can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Nothing has changed on my system except for the 2019 install. How can I get my adobe audio files and sessions to open and play within dropbox as I have been doing for the last 5 years?

Every other file opens. The audio even plays with windows media player within dropbox but nothing opens via adobe audition. I must move each folder to the desktop in order to work on it.

Thanks - I hope there is a fix for this Adobe Audition 2019 / Dropbox / Windows 10 Pro issue.

Hi guys,
Please, try to improve some natives plugins from Audition. Like Dynamics Process, where the graphics points and the lines with the ratio and thresholds values are not linked. If I change the points on the graphic, this changes the number on the lines, but I can't make it in the inverse sense. The solution for this is maybe one or two lines of code, guys. And in the limiter position, the line in the graphic go under the threshold value and don't change the name to "limiter". The gate position is blocked in the threshold value, but maybe to change the name to "gate" in the line. Please, take a look to the file here up-loaded.
Best regards
