I have podcast tracks, one is in a normal room and sounds good, the other is in a space with more echo than I've ever heard. It sounds like a concrete stairwell or something.

De-reverb, Deroom and EQ have made it better and usable but the 2 tracks sound so different, which I may have to accept.

Any other ideas?

I’ve added a ton of envelopes to this track and none of them will play properly, please help before 4 if possible!!!

When I record voice tracks on Audition, they are always delayed by a few milliseconds. Does anyone know where this could be coming from? It's very frustrating and time-consuming to have to manually align all the tracks after each take.

When I export the song it comes out with that empty time

I used to occasionally use V1 and there were some flaws but it worked pretty reliably and did a good job of a providing a quick clean up that I could EQ and make sounds pretty good fast.

Every time I've used V2, it's clipping words, bringing up all kinds of bizarre artifacts, even as low as 10%. Does anyone know if V1 is still accessible? Can anyone recommend another enhancer program?

I recorded a chapter in a video game, and I need to eliminate the keyboard noises that came in while I was using the keyboard while recording the video, is there a easy way to remove the noise.

I've never understood the way Audition 'splits' clips, but the after the split is made, it 'remembers' or still references the original. For example, in the screenshot attached, I select the clip located where the playhead is, and then I select "select clips to end of selected track". But because the clip I have selected used to be "connected" to the clip two clips to the left of it, it selects this clip too, which to me seems ridiculous. This has caught me out so many times, why can't it just somehow "unlink" the two clips (which I would think an edit would normally do). Can't see anything in the menus.

I managed to recover a deleted file off of a drive, but every 8 seconds there is extremely loud static for 1 second, how would i manage to go about silencing those in an automated way that doesn't involve me spending 10 hours on this?

I've just been looking into formalising my Audition skills. I visited the Adobe exams page and noticed there is no Audition option.

I'm sure I heard Mike Russell in one of his videos state that he is a certified professional.

Does anyone know if they have taken it away or has it never existed?

Exam page here

If I have two audio samples and I want them to sound similar so that when they are stiched together one of them doesnt sound out of place, what can I do or is there a plugin that can do it?

sample1

and the sample i wanted it to sound like:

sample2

Thanks

Hello,

My dad has been working in a podcast service and using Cool Edit Pro for 20 years. Since Adobe Audition 1.0 is mostly the same as Cool Edit, he’s fine with using that too. However, he doesn’t want to migrate to the modern Adobe Audition for some reason, and Cool Edit has been working perfectly for him all this time.

The issue is that most of the files he receives are in .ogg format, which Cool Edit Pro and Audition 1.0 don’t support. I know I can transcode them to MP3 or WAV, but I want to take that extra step to make things easier for him. He’s old, so adopting new tools and learning new applications is hard for him.

I tried using this and copied the OGG file into the directory of Audition 1.0, but it didn’t work. It just shows the OGG file as "RAW PCM data or unsupported."

If anyone knows of a plugin or an alternative solution, please let me know! I’d really appreciate any help.

I’m trying to access “manual pitch correction”, which I believe is a native plugin? When I go to effects > time and pitch, only automatic pitch correction and the pitch shifter show up. I’ve rescanned for plugins, didn’t fix the issue. Not sure why Adobe is missing its own plugins - did they abandon this one in the new update?

Why isn't it separating the vocals into separate notes. I'm VERY confused.

Hello, I would like to ask for help to find out why when I'm recording voice (singing) the high notes or falsetto type notes are not recorded and they come out as a line without waves or you can hear a bit of noise but not the actual sound that I emitted. This happens to me with both the MacBook microphone and the condenser microphone, and it only happens to me in the Audition program. Thank you very much for your support.

I think my settings might have changed after an update. Previously, when I selected a clip with the left mouse button and dragged it on a multitrack timeline, there was a blue line over the exact cursor position. This feature allowed me to precisely align clips as I moved them. Is there a shortcut command or setting to restore this functionality? I've tried all snapping options one by one and can't seem to find it.

Hey, I do some audio processing for a podcast. In the multitrack I apply several effects and use the wet/dry slider to get the overall feeling right.

My problem is: I would like the hard limiter to be always on at full power. Kind of overwriting the wet/dry mix amount but be applied at 100% regardless.

Is there a way to do it or is my workflow just odd?

Edit: Thank you all for your input! All the solutions mentioned here work for me and I'll just have to decide which one fits my workflow best for now. Truly a great subreddit for newbies like me!

Short version: In Audition, after I amplify my spoken voice recorded audio, nearly all of the 'ch' sounds (and some others) are too loud . I'm currently fixing them manually. It takes a long time, so I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid it in the first place, or fix them all at once with some filter.

Apologies in advance, I'm just an amateur hobbyist and don't know the terminology.

Long version:

I record a podcast for fun, so it doesn't need to be pro quality, but I'd like it to be as good as I can make it without spending too much time manually editing. The same problem has happened on both mics I've used (Airpods and a Shure MV7), though the specific problematic sounds are different (the MV7 has plosive p's but the Airpods don't, presumably due to placement). I haven't experimented carefully with mic placement, so if that's part of the solution, please let me know.

Either way, I'd like to know if there's a way to clean an entire .wav file of these loud sounds with some automated process.

My current workflow (adapted from Julian Krause on YouTube):

1. Match loudness: -25 LUFS (mono)
2. Compression: gain 0, ratio 3:1, attack 1ms, release 100ms, threshold -21 dB (when recording with Airpods)
3. ReaGate
4. Amplify: 12 dB
5. Hard limiter: max -3 dB

This all works consistently enough for my needs quality-wise, but the amplification always makes certain sounds too loud: ch (almost always), and often t, d, b, g. (Also pops and clicks.)

On a different mic I used, 'sh' was often a problem. 'p' plosives have sometimes been a problem despite trying different mic placements and a pop filter.

I currently knock down the loud bits manually, -3 to -12 dB depending on severity. I use custom keyboard shortcuts, so no single edit takes much time, but cumulatively I'm spending ~30-40 minutes cleaning 10 minutes of finished audio, which seems excessive, but I don't know what is normal for professional editing.

The time I spend is approx 50% fixing pops/clicks... figured I'd ask about clicks on a different post, as these might be best handled with Audition's automatic click remover, though I haven't had much success with it yet.

Any suggestions for how to avoid these noises or clean them more efficiently?

I generally don't hear these annoying sounds in professional broadcasts, even live (so not edited), so I'm very curious to know how they do it.

Hello first time Reddit poster but having scrolled through google and most fixes working for other I’ve not been so lucky.

So to set the scene, I was capturing the audio mix that musicians were playing via an XLR into my zoom h4n and straight into my MacBook into audition. With it being a fast paced night (set times got moved earlier than I was told / I was in a panic if I’m being honest - it was also my first time capturing live audio I’m a videographer ma skills are not so much in audio!) I didn’t have time to clear space on hard drives and I think this is where the issue lies, having no time between sets each lasting 2 hours long, I think my MacBook ran out of space and has messed up the first two recordings. As the third set I do have audio for.

The first two sets were recorded in the same session in a multitrack session. When I look at the folder with recorded files there’s two WAV files both 2.5GBs roughly so there’s definitely data there but when you play them they’re mute. When I try play through audition the wave forms are there but nothing coming through on the levels. I’ve looked at audio hardware and the audio output and changed to my head phones/normal Mac speakers - nothing. Please help I need the audio for the video edit - I do have back up audio from my static camera but that’s obviously not as good as the direct audio from the mix 🥲

It all sounded fine while recording on the night, but like I said there was issues with the MacBook running out of space I was jumping between hard drives rapidly trying to move the session into something with more space (because my MacBook is a 2015 one with fook all space) is there anything I’m completely missing / a way to repair the recorded files? Thank you in advance!

Hi. I almost gave up because i can't handle this problem.
I checked LITERALLY all troubleshooting methods from internet but nothing works.

Mic: Fifine k658 (USB) (but not important because same behaviour i have with integrated mic in laptop)
Laptop: Asus FX707ZV
OS: Windows 11
Adobe Audition: all versions i tried have same problem

I always used a MME device type and i know about WASAPI can fix this behaviour, but i can't use it because of worst sound quality and robotic lags on recorded sound.

-------------------------------------

UPD: I tried same mic and same version of Audition on my different win10 laptop and everything is good. So it's a problem in win11. I'll continue to research and maybe i'll find some fix for win11

Hey there!

First time poster (and podcaster) here :-) My wife and I are in the process of starting our podcast. We have Adobe Audition, and two XLR mics connected to my MacBook Pro via the Zoom Podtrak P4 and we are recording our first episode in Audition, via a Multitrack session. We have a podcast studio setup where we are both about four feet apart, and we each have a XLR mic right in front of our mouths. One thing I'm noticing as I record, the waveform across the two tracks is identical. We both sound great and it's definitely picking up one mic for each of us, but the sounds are identical across the two waveforms.

I guess my question is, why am I not seeing different waveforms since we each have our own mic? I figured it would capture a different form across the two tracks, which would help with editing. It's essentially just a duplicate of the perfect audio for us both, which seems pointless. I attached a screenshot of my setup to help explain. Can someone assist with how I can get these mics to actually pick up just the person talking in front of it? Or is this normal behavior for the software? When I watch tutorials using two mics, the waveforms are very different....I made sure to assign each mic to the Mono - Left and Mono - right

https://preview.redd.it/lu4jva2u053e1.png?width=2268&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5a870490296a00e2e3ff987483aea22ac5c170e

I'm currently working on a musical where I'm recording 32 channels via USB from the mixer (A&H SQ7).

Every time I reconnect the mixer or reopen Audition (even if I save the session and reopen it), I need to re assign all 32 channels to the tracks - it remembers the name of the input it was connected to as it says "None ([01M] SQ - Audio: Channel 1 In", but I still have to go into the menu and select Mono -> "[01M] SQ - Audio: Channel 1" In for every single channel.

Is there a way to assign all the channels in one go, or do I just have to do it by hand every time?

Running on Mac - Adobe Audition 2025 version.

https://preview.redd.it/yfrqu5znpi2e1.png?width=1936&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f77f09abed3943d3b5f6b3f0600f57a40b6a1e4

In Audition, my mic's audio, according to the volume meters, is well within acceptable range (peaking around -10 dB), but when I listen back to my audio, my voice sounds like it's clipping. Is there a reason why? I'd ideally like to ensure the on-screen volume meters are calibrated with my microphone's audio clipping levels. I've recorded this screencast illustrating the issue.

For reference, I'm using a Sennheiser Profile Mic with the mic gain around 75%. When I set my mic gain at 50%, the levels peak on screen around -36 dB, which feels really low.

Can anyone advise on how to resolve this so what I'm seeing on screen is what I actually get in the captured audio?

Apparently for some users if you record within a highlighted part, it will automatically extend it, so that it doesn't start recording over the part that follows which isn't highlighted.

However my AA always continues recording over the unselected part as well, so it never extends the selected clip.

How can I record over a highlighted selection and make the highlighted section be automatically extended so it never actually starts overwriting the following nonhighlighted part?

Audition 24.4.1.3, running on M2 Max Studio under OS 14.6.1

I've written about this before, but hope springs eternal! I'm working on a podcast. I recorded it on a MixPre 10ii, using the same hardware and settings I've been using for 4 years now. I get a multitrack .wav, from which I pull the ISO channels as mono tracks. I then use the Noise Reduction (process) effect to clean up the room tone before dropping them into a multitrack edit session.

My previous computer, an Intel-based iMac Pro, had no real problem with this. My brand-new screamimg-fast M2 Max Studio, though... one of the tracks will take maybe 12 seconds for the noise reduction to work, then the next will take 8-9 minutes. There's no meaningful difference between the tracks, aside from me being on one and my friend being on the other. The settings on the recorder were the same. They were extracted from the multiwav in the same fashion, and saved to the same directory, within seconds of each other.

Any thoughts on why this could be happening?

Mahalo!

I bought this laptop a few months ago and, at the time, this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/ download-install/kb/arm-processors.html) was saying most Adobe programs would be up and running by August.

It's november and there's still nothing. I'm in college and deal with audio editing a great deal, so I need them to launch a version of Audition for my laptop!!

I hate this shit so much but I have to work with it. I’ve been getting so mad that when I use the razor tool to cut one clip, it cuts everything. I just tried looking for different razor form by the icon and there is one for only cutting the selected clip (duh????? Why would i want to cut anything else besides the clip I have selected???) Respect to those who use and enjoy audition bc that will never be me

To clarify I figured out how to do it right before I even wrote the post but that setup just annoys tf outta me
