Adobe Audition 3.0.1 - Saving/Converting WAV's to MP3 adds small amounts of time to my MP3 files !!?

Hello.
I am new to the Forum, but turning to the masses out there for help with a weird one!
I have used Adobe Audition for YEARS. I do a lot of converting of my finished WAV files to Mp3 files. The finished WAV's have always been in 48000Hz, 16 bit Stereo, and are always mixed to the specified time (e.g. 15, 30 or 60 seconds duration). These are then converted to mp3 files, using the 'Save As' option, choosing the 'Save As Type' as mp3PRO (Fhg) (*.mp3) option.
My conversion settings have always been:
CBR, mp3, 320Kbps 48000Hz Stereo (4:8:1), Maximum bandwith = 24000Hz, CBR Rate = 320, Sample Rate = 48000Hz, Codec = Current - Best Quality, Allow mid-side joint stereo, allow intensity joint stereo, Set 'Private' Bit, ISO Padding, Write CRC Check Sums.
...Now, for some strange reason, ever since last night, whenever I do the above process - the resulting mp2 file seems to ADD ON little bits of time...from 0.048 of a second to around 0.168 of a second..!!??? So to further clarify: If I convert a 15 second WAV file to mp3 - the resulting mp3 file ends up being slightly longer in duration at: 15.168 seconds..???
This has never happened before. And, a solution has got me beat.
I have tried different conversion settings, different configurations - even saving the initial WAV as a lower sample rate - but, no joy.
I have an old version of Adobe Audition 2.0 on a different machine - and guess what?! Even IT does this same weird thing now too.
It doesn't seem to matter if I REC and convert new files or convert old files - same problem.
Even opening up mp3 files - that I KNOW were spot on for time - now also have these little bits of extra time added to them, once they are openned...??? What the...!!??
I spent over half an hour on the phone with Adobe Tech support, earlier this afternoon. They got me to reset all of my user configuration files - but, didn't slove the issue!
PLEASE: Has anyone experienced this same conversion issue..? I would also be interested to know, if anyone else replicates these conversion settings, if they get the same problem..?
Could this be one of those good old Windows update things..?
Does anyone know if there are updates available for Auditions built-in mp3PRO encoder / decoder..?
PLEASE HELP !!!
Thank you, in advance.
John.

Well I don't know how you've missed this before, but it's always done it. It's a throwback to Syntrillium days, when it was discovered that some MP3 players managed to cut off the starts and finishes of MP3 files. The developers got around this by adding a small amount of silence when coding an MP3. Originally, Audition's loop files were MP3-based as well, but these didn't have the added silence, because obviously that would screw up the looping a treat. But as far as I'm aware, even though players are better now (aren't they???), the additional silence remains.
I'm not surprised that the help desk doesn't know about this - it's a bit subtle. And with the best will in the world, they only have the crib sheets they're given, and they certainly don't cover everything that happens.

Adobe Audition not retaining markers after saving

I'm slightly confused as to why Adobe Audition 3 won't save it's markers after I have closed and saved.When I reopen they are gone.
Many Thanks

What format are you saving as? Markers are only saved with .wav files. Is the little bottom left box ticked in the Save As page for "Save other non-audio information"?

How do I access any form of auto-saved files or backups on Adobe Audition CS 5.5?

After recording a nearly 2 hour interview for a project, I left my mac without saving my files because I knew that I was going to get back to work and save them later. Unfortunately, I got caught up with a phone call and eventually had to rush to catch a plane, so I just closed my mac and caught the plane. Upon my arrival, I realized that my mac died, but normally this wouldn't be a problem because once I connect the charger, everything would normally reopen with the recovered files. Unfortunately after opening adobe audition, I realized that my audio files that I hadn't saved were still there, but there were no longer any waves on the file. I didn't want to risk losing the files, if there was any way of me being able to retrieve them, so I saved the audio files with new names, but have still been unable to find the audio files with actual audio on them. Can someone please help me?

Is there any way possible that I can do something like what they did in the link above?
Thanks in advance,

Were you recording in the Waveform edit view or the Multitrack view?
Recording in the Waveform view only saves audio in temporary until you Save them. They are likely to be lost if you didn't same them before shutting down Audition or computer crashed.
If you were using Multitrack view then the audio is saved to your hard disc in real time and should be found in the "session name"_Recorded folder alongside your .sesx session file, something like:
C:\Users\"username"\Documents\Adobe\Audition\4.0\test\test_Recorded on a Windows machine. Not sure where on a Mac.
If it is the first file that you recorded in that session then it is likely to a name like "Track 1_001.wav" if you didn't save it as anything else.. So do a search for a file with that name on your computer. If you are very lucky it might still be recoverable.
Lesson: Always save any new file whenever you pause in your editing session.

Does Adobe Audition 3 support Broadcast WAV files ?

Does Adobe Audition 3 support Broadcast WAV (BWAV) files ?

The ans is Audition (& Cool Edit before) has very impressive BWF capabilities.
But with some MASSIVE fundamental & fatal flaw problems
So good but sooooo missing some vital aspects,
Adobe are so close to having an app the Film/TV post community could use & love ( just like loads of people keep using "Photoshop" as the best 2D graphics app, no matter they maybe principally working in 3D; it is a crying shame the fact Adobe have bought this "gem" and don't it seems realize Audition is for sure the Photoshop for Audio. IMO nothing comes close, Audition is the ultimate Audio editor (and in no way bad, well pretty good, as a multi-track).

How to convert Adobe Audition 3 sessions to CS6 sessions

Adobe Audition - podcast question

So I am a recent convert from Apple software to Adobe. I have previously used Garage Band to create podcasts that usually ended up around 7 MB in size. When I tried to create a podcast within Audition, the file size ballooned to 30 MB. How can I create one that will be closer to what I was doing in Audition? Thanks!

Audition saves to its native format, which is wav. And that's why you've got such a large file - wavs are uncompressed. I'm presuming that you want your final result to be an MP3 file if it's for a podcast, so you have to pick Save As, and in the file types box pick MP3. You then get to choose the particular MP3 format you want - judging from the size comparison you've made this will probably be 128k stereo.

Adobe Audition issue

Hello everyone. First of all, i would like to thank you for your time in reading this.
I have a problem that happened when i put together my new pc
I work on Adobe Audition 1.5 from my old pc and when i used to work, i could import MP3's no problem and now on the new pc i cannot which is hindering my work badly as i have to sit and convert them into wav's then enter them( Using a separate converter coz MP3's are not even being read by Audition )
Ive tried multiple things to solve this but was unable to.
One peculiar thing i would like to mention is when i went tocontrol pannel to re-install, i hit repair instead to see what i can do, and it showed me my file associations and apparently everytime i tick MP3 over there, and hit repair, if i go back and do the same thing, it shows me MP3's as unticked. It automatically removes MP3 as a file association for some reason. I really need help in this if anyone can, Thanks again for your time!
Here's a picture of the error i get -

Trial Adobe Audition Will Not Open PKF File

I downloaded the Adobe Audition Trial software and I made two recordings. Six hours later I tried to open both files and got the following error message:"Error: File not supported by any currently registered plug-ins." THEY ARE PKF FILES!!! What happened? Is this forewarning of things to come if I buy Adobe Audition? One file is important and I would like to open it again so I can transcribe it to another audio format.

Whoa, you saved the day. I had no idea Adobe Audition automatically generated a .wav file. I didn't create a folder or a .wav file. Thanks.
It doesn't - it's a pkf file that gets generated whenever you open anything at all in Audition. It doesn't get saved with all formats you could save to though - just wav files, which are the Audition default because that's what it uses internally. But, if you got a pkf file, then you sure as hell did generate a wav file - because the pkf wouldn't exist otherwise!
You can delete pkf files if you want, and all that means is that when you want to reopen your file in Audition, it will take longer, because the pkf file has to be recreated internally. This isn't much of an issue with small wav files, but with big ones it can make a considerable difference to the opening time.

Adobe Audition - Probleme sauvegarde apres import - volume a fond, grésillements, etc...

Bonjour à tous,
Depuis peu, je test Adobe Auditon CC 14 (mais je précise que j'avais ce problème avec les versions antérieures), et j'ai un souci :
Lorsque j'importe un fichier, quelque qu'il soit (mp3, wave, ogg, etc...), lors de la prochaine ouverture du fichier, toutes les pistes ont le volume au maximum, avec de gros grésillements... Même en remettant toutes les pistes au son voulu, le grésillement ne disparait pas...
Si je n'importe rien, le fichier se sauvera normalement et je n'aurai pas de problème à l'ouverture suivante, mais dès qu'un import est effectué, le problème survient...
je vous donne un screen pour vous montrer :
Screen 1, tout est normal : (image plus grande : https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-6776706-678407/adobe+audition+cc+ mix-problem+-+before+saving.jpg )

Quality issue with importing edited audio from Adobe Audition CS6 to Articulate 09

I have edited an audio file using Adobe Audition CS6 and the playback sounds fine. I then import the edited file into Articulate'09 and the audio sounds horrible, very tinny and not useable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I have tried saving the audio files as mp3 and wav to see if that would help and it did not make a difference.

I checked - it certainly supports both formats, but you'd have to be a lot more specific about what's wrong, because 'sounds horrible' doesn't convey anything meaningful at all, I'm afraid. And we have no idea of the format you are using - it's very possible that if it's being resampled on the way in by the operating system. If that's the case you have to find out specifically what formats (in terms of bit depth and sample rate) that this software actually supports.
Bottom line is that I'm afraid that this isn't very likely to be an Audition problem at all - you may get a more detailed and meaningful response from Articulate themselves.

Problem with Adobe Audition 2.0 and recording from a 1212m.

I bought a brand new machine and have be configuring it all week. Everything has been going well, except getting Adobe Audition 2.0 (the new version) to “hear” sound from the 1212m.
The intel 975 motherboard has an integrated HD sound system already on board and I have been able to get adobe audition to recognize it and record from it. This is what I have Windows XP Pro set to as my default sound card.
I installed the 1212m and I have gotten my monitors to work by using the XLR jacks on the monitors to the ¼ inch jacks on the 1212m using a VST (NI’s Kontakt 2) as the audio source. So it works.
What I can’t seem to get to work is getting Adobe Audition to “hear” the sound coming from the 1212m.
Patchmix seems to be working ok. The audio bars jump each time I hit a note on the keyboard.
I have configured Audition by going to Audio Hardware Setup and setting it to EMU ASIO and tried every combination of INPUT and OUTPUT, but when I hit the Record button in Audition it just flat lines..
I was hoping that once the audio made it from the VST though the 1212m and out to the speakers, that getting Audition to record it would be easy, but that hasn’t been the case.
The Intel 955 Extreme Edition and the 975 motherboard are brand new and I’m worried that being on the bleeding edge of technology, that one of the drivers isn’t working correctly and causing me hours of debugging a problem that is unworkable from my end.
Hopefully the problem is just some small stupid thing that I’m doing or failing to do (like normal).
Any ideas would be helpful.
thanks

I'm just saving it into a file in "My documents" on the internal hard drive. It's a computer in the office which has been used my other people before me and I have my own file which I was always able to save Adobe sound files into before, so I don't think it's anything to do with me not being allowed or read-only.
I've also been trying to save it onto USB hard drives. This works when I save it under a different name, but not when I'm just trying to update a file i've been working on. Basically I have to create a new file everytime I add something, so like "myaudit1", "myaudit2", "myaudit3" etc etc, even though it's the same piece of work just updated.
Hope that makes sense!

Adobe Audition Will Not Save, Export

Hello,
I finished a project in Audition last night and went to export it. When I checked on the export process after a few minutes, it was stuck at 0%. I wanted to restart the program to see if that would fix the issue, so I attempted to save the multitrack session, but it still froze at 0%. I noticed that there were 4 files processing according to the status bar at the bottom of the program. I tried to end the processes, which were saving metadata for recorded files. Only one of the files stopped saving, and the other three are stuck at 66% no matter what I do. I woke up this morning to check the progress and all files are still at 66% with the remaining time increasing rather than decreasing.
I'm assuming the issue is that Audition can only process so many files at once, so it won't save or export while the other files are processing. Regardless, I need to find a way to save my project before force quitting the program. I would greatly appreciate any suggested solutions.
I am on Windows 8, using Adobe Audition CC 2014.1 Build 7.1.0.119. Here is a screenshot of what happens when I try to save:
Here is one of the files frozen while saving metadata:

Maybe check to see if there are other (non Audition) processes happening in the background and also maybe check the available disk size of both the drive where the audio is and the drive where your temp files are

Recording audio in Adobe Audition from a DVD played on Windows Media Player

I use Adobe Audition for audio production. I should be able to play a DVD via Windows Media Player and record the audio from it using Adobe Audition.
It isn't working.
I get a pop-up message indicating: INVALID ASIO INPUT (it continues to read) ! The selected input port or ASIO driver is invalid. Please change your settings in the audio hardware setup dialogue.
I tried that approach, and was not offered the ability to make that change.
Anyone have any ideas? My much older VAIO Sony computer handled this perfectly.
Thanks!

Hey Terry
in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
File/Export
Export:movie to windows media
Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
Options>
Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
Coding method: Two pass VBR
Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.

Problems Controlling Line in - Audigy 4, Adobe Audition

Hello,
I just recently got Adobe Audition version 2.0. I have been running my mics through a Fender Passport PA head, then into my computer for a while, with my default soundcard and Acoustica Mixcraft.
Now, I have an Audigy 4 (with the little box thing) and am using Adobe Audition, and I can't control the line in volume. I have tried messing with all of the line levels with the Creative console, the default windows controls, and even a third-party volume control, none of which works.
Please, if anyone has any clue what's going on, I'd much appreciate some sort of solution. I'm trying to record drums, and they're LOUD.
Thanks.

Software based level controlling:
In Audition, use ASIO drivers.
When ASIO is used, you can control input/recording levels through Audition (if there is a control for this) and through Surround Mixer (or Windows Playback control panels) Line-In Source slider -> i.e. the "recording level" setting in surround mixer does not have effect when you're working in ASIO mode (neither has wave source slider).
Hmm.. can't you also use Mixcraft controls for this, if you have routed your mics through it?

Can't Edit Clips in Adobe Audition

So now I suddenly can't use one of my favorite features of Premiere - editing a clip in Adobe Audition.
I just upgraded to CS6 Master Collection. When I right-click on an audio clip in Premiere, "Edit with Adobe Audition" is grayed out. When I click the audio clip and select Edit > Edit in Adobe Audition, it goes through all the preparation, but Audition doesn't launch.
Bug? Is there something I need to switch on somewhere? Dynammic Link Media is selected, so I'm at a loss right now.
Any suggestions?

look at the file extension of the audio file...
if you brought the clip into Premier, for example as an mp4, or maybe brought in a wav, or mp3 file, then you must change the default program that opens these extensions to Audition.
Just experience the same problem, removed Premier, reinstalled, same issue.
Opened previous project that had mp4 on timeline....
went to the file explorer and found and mp4 file, right click on file, open with, choose default program, change the default program to Audition....
I have changed the default program for all audio files now to be audition.
Keep in mind that if you have mp3 files that you like to listen to while you work, they will now no longer open in media player, or WinAmp by default.
You will now see that if you have unlinked the audio from the video clip, that when you right click on the audio file in the timeline, and choose edit original, it will now open in Audition....
...enjoy!!
