Adobe Audition CC Playback Issues

Hi there,
My name is Lauren and I have been having some issues recently with Audition CC regarding playback. I've been using Audition (in the various versions) for about six years now and I have never had this issue with any of the other versions I have used.
So the issue is this: I will import an mp3 file of an instrumental I've created in a different program, and then record the vocals in a multitrack session in Audition. I make sure that no other programs that will use up my sound card are open at that time. (Like YouTube, iTunes, or any other type of recording software) I will record the vocals, and the playback goes smoothly until I reach almost to the end of the song; that's where things get odd. Once it hits that point, the playback is really skippy, and it sounds like how a scratched CD would.
I've tried exporting what I have done into an mp3 file, and play the file in Windows Player or whatever, and it sounds completely normal; it's just when the multitrack session is in Audition that it skips like crazy.
I've tried to do some research to figure out what the problem is, but I can't seem to find any answers. Would any of you know what the problem might be? Your help would be SO appreciated!
Thank you for taking your time to read this, I really appreciate it!
- Lauren

Yes, we need more details of the sound card(s) being use and things like drivers etc. However, a couple of comments:
First, turning off system sounds is absolutely necessary in Windows for any serious sound work. The bings and boops that Windows generates will all upset your sound work. Also, for a problem of a skipping playback, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware and (assuming you're using MME drivers) increase the latency setting. This will increase the buffer size and make your playback more stable.
Second, for Jammin101, when you say files won't play back, are you getting skipping like the original poster or no playback at all? If the latter, does the system just sit there and refuse to do anything or does the cursor move on the waveform display but not give you any sound?

Adobe Audition CS6 playback issue with Windows 8.1

After installing Windows 8.1, playback doesn't work in Audition CS6. I've tried deleting the program and reinstalling, but did not help. Can you help?

Try the following:
Open Audition and select Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware. Try changing your Default Output to any other option, click OK, then go back and change it back to your preferred setting. You might also be able to switch the Master Clock preference at the same location, apply, then set it back.
While this is typically introduced by a change to the OS or device drivers, we are investigating to see if we can catch this situation and resolve it for a future release.

64bit Adobe Square & Hulu playback issues [SOLVED] for now

Back in mid September, I installed Adobe's flash player "Square" preview release. All was good including perfect Hulu playback.
As of this weekend, Hulu wouldn't play, and without a message as to why.
And yes, I'm aware of, and experienced the Hulu playback issue with the prior test version Adobe had available prior to Square.
Square fixed Hulu playback for me, but just temporairly.
Anyone else having this issues or is it just my system?

Apparently, RTMPE isn't functional yet, which Hulu now requires.
Hulu and Amazon which depends on RTMPE aren't currently functioning because there are some 64-bit libs that need to be integrated into the branch. That particular bug is set ToFix, but i can't speak to the timing.
Encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMPE or RTMPTE) is a proprietary protocol created by Macromedia used for streaming video and DRM. It reportedly allows secure transfer of data without SSL. It is implemented in flash player 9.0.115 and some versions of Flash Media Server 3.

Re: flash-plugin-10.2.161.23-1.x86_64.rpm
As of yesterday, Hulu is blocking the 64-bit plugin again.
This time it doesn't even give an error message, the video window just doesn't display.
I've gone back to the 32-bit plugin, which still works there.
Interesting, Hulu is blocking both 32- and 64-bit Linux versions of Square,
even though the release notes say that only 64-bit versions fail to support content protection.

Need help with x-fi / adobe audition monitoring / input issue

Hi all - I've been desperately trying to fix this issue for a long time now. This is the first computer problem that has really got me stumped since, well, since forever. I've searched all over and seen a few tidbits about this issue but I couldn't find anything that could help me actually solve my problem.
The issue is that when I record in audition through the x-fi, as I record a second separate track, whatever I'm monitoring from any other tracks gets recorded onto the second track along with the new recording.
I've found threads saying it's an issue with the mixer, however I'm trying to figure out the audio creation mode in the console launcher and I am absolutely unable to figure out how to be able to monitor track 1 while not having it get recorded to track two. I went through basically each strip and muted/unmuted to see what would happen and nothing ever worked. I also know that it indeed is recording the monitor, as overlaid (not printed) effects are copied to the new track.
I'm using vista, with the following drivers for the x-fi and asio4all.
driver:
5.12.6.1201
11/2/2006
asio4all v 2.7
Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic (D) Sound Card
What do I do?
THANKS

This may not help, because I've not used ASIO personally, and I'm not as sure of the SBX-Fi's internals, but CL has tended to design cards which have recording taps at each input and at the output of the card. Thus the hardware has supported (dry) recording of individual sources, unmixed, or the mixed output of the card. The Surround Mixer only provides for recording one source, and gives a menu of each source, plus a "What You Hear" source which is actually the (wet) mixed output. You probably only need to figure out how to set things to record a specific source while auditioning the mixed output, and there's probably a way to do that.

Audition CC Playback Issue

No matter what format the audio is, every time I clicked 'Play', the button turned orange, status bar showing 'Playing', but the VU had no response and the timeline won't move. The whole program crashed after a few seconds.
无论导入的是什么音频，每次点击播放后，按钮变橙，状态栏显示'正在播放'，但时间轴不会移动，电平表没有指示，整个程式在几秒后就会失去响应。

About Audition : Audition CC (6.0 Build 732) Still in trial mode
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

I can't help much with the Mac part of things (I run Audition on a Windows machine) but the set up in Audition is under the Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware Set up menu.
Things to check would be:
-that you have the most recent drivers for your audio interface installed.
-that you select the proper type of driver for your device
-that the right sound device is selected in both the Recording and Playback menus
-that the sample rate and bit depth selected in Audition matches those selected in any control panel for your audio device. The audio device might be a separate screen for a specialist audio interface or part of the basic Mac OS controls if you're using the inbuilt sound card.
Sorry I can't be more specific.

Slow Playback Adobe Audition CS5.5 - not sample rate setting error!

I'm currently using Windows 7 and Adobe Audition CS5.5 build 1815. Soundcard is RME Digi96 Pad. Ok its an old card and the drivers date from 2005. In Adobe 3.1 and CS5.5 I get slow, around half speed, playback at 44k and 96k sample rates. YES the project sample rates and sound card sample rates are set correctly, clock is set to master on the soundcard.
However, in using Cockos Reaper 3 or 4 on exactly the same computer, same soundcard, same OS, I can play 44k and 96k wav files perfectly.
This suggests to me there is an error in the way Adobe Audition 3 / CS5.5 is handling the ASIO drivers in Windows 7 with some soundcards.
If it was a driver problem, or indeed a soundcard hardware issue, then Reaper would not perform properly.
So what's going on with the ASIO drivers in Adobe Audition with Windows 7?

I have two XLR wireless mics, which are great for my video work, but I need to do audio recordings for podcasts and wanted a mic that would be able to do just audio podcasts, as well as video podcasts, live via my laptop. So while I do agree that the audio recording from my XLR mics is great, I am not happy with the audio quality of standard computer mics I've tried and the only way I can get my XLR mics into the computer directly is through a USB connector (which I also have, I'm getting the Yeti set-up for my business partner to use).
Maybe Audition just isn't the best software option for this, but since we have CS6 Premium I had hoped I could utilize software I already had. (And for the live video casts I'm looking at starting out with Google hangouts...)
With that being said, I appreciate your reply and thought I had already set-up the hardware correctly in Windows & Audition. Here is a screenshot that shows the settings I have - my question at this point is whether the master clock needs to be changed (the audio channel mapping tab shows the left and right speaker of the default Realtek speaker):
I just double checked the properties of both the speakers and mic and they are both set to 48,000/16/stereo, as is the audio file in Audition.
I'm a journalist, not an audio pro, and I fully accept that the sound device must not be properly connected. The problem is that I cannot figure out why that is the case.
Since I need to use the USB mic and I want to be able to use the power of Audition to put together podcasts, using other software for the livecasts, I would really like to sort through this. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Adobe Audition does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key.

Adobe Audition CC does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key. It is after use audio hardware usb wi-fi headphone and return to build-it out. The program don't react now.
I see problem:
I am unable to get playback at all in CS6 on Mac. The play button or spacebar will not move the playhead or make sound come out of the foamy things with the magnets. The play button toggles back and forth between green and white, but it isn't working. This is true in both multi track and waveform view.
Anyone have ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks!
Some Info:
MacBook Pro 2.2 i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Mac OS 10.8.3
Audition CS6 5.0.2 Build 5
and reply:
Best bet would be to go into Preferences > Audio Hardware, verify your input and output devices are correct, and probably switch your Master Clock to the opposite setting. If that fails, we can continue troubleshooting.
I have the same problem as the author writes. But these actions do not help

Unfortunately I believe that requires purchasing the new version, and I do
not have budget approval for such a purchase.

Adobe Audition CS6 and Alesis Multimix 8 Firewire choppy playback

I recorded a whole podcast using both Adobe Audition CS6 and Alesis Multimix 8 Firewire, and I originally played it back it was fine. Now after a week I play it back in Adobe Audition and the dialogue is choppy and repeating itself constantly every second. When I export it in a multitrack mixdown as a WAV file it still does the same choppy repeating thing. Has anyone else run into this problem who has a fix?
Thanks!

I don't use any Alesis products but have heard rumours in another forum that they're having some driver issues.
Maybe as an experiment you could export to a wave file and try playing that through your internal sound card rather than the Multimix. If playback is clean when not involving the Multimix that may suggest the problem lies in the Alesis gear. If the skipping is still there then something is likely going on within Audition.

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.

There is an issue with Adobe Audition CC and OS 10.8.4. Audition will not open?

Apparently there is a problem with Adobe Audition CC and 10.8.4. Audition worked in 10.7 with no problem but after installing 10.8.4 it no longer opens.

might want to ask, did you clone ML with 10.8.3 before upgrading to 10.8.4? sometimes there are issues, and there are with .4 so having a clone of your system prior to update is important. Same for how long to keep a clone of 10.7.5 or even 10.6.8.
if you practice keeping boot drive small it is easy to make a system restore image 50-150GB and keep it somewhere.
CCC clones not just the system but the recovery partition.
keeping all your data and media off the boot drive helps in other ways, like managing maintenance and performance.

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 -

Please report this issue in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC forum.

Hi-I have an old Adobe Audition 1.5 and I used to be able to hear as I was recording. After updating computer and reloading Adobe Audition 1.5, can no longer hear as recording but only on playback. Please advise.

Hi-I have an old Adobe Audition 1.5 and I used to be able to hear as I was recording. After updating computer and reloading Adobe Audition 1.5, can no longer hear as recording but only on playback. Please advise.

All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

Adobe Audition 3.0 Setup - Serial Number Issues

I'm trying to resolve an issue with the Adobe Audition 3.0 Setup. I tried the Chat Support a few times, and they requested me to submit the problem to the forum for Professional Assistance. The issue is that the Setup window asks me for the serial number, and I tried my own serial number, and also the serial number provided in the download site (as the representative suggested) but they don't work. So if I can't finish the setup, I'm not able to perform the installation.

You need to download both the software and the serial number from the download site. You cannot use that serial number with your own version of AA3. It only works with the downloaded version.

Having Monitoring Problems with in Adobe Audition using built in outputs No playback while recording?

I was using Adobe audition to Record Audio and some how the output throught the hardware settings got changed to airplay. Now even if I change the settings to built in output the is no playback through the computer speakers!! aAny Help would be great! I Put this quesion in the Adobe Forums as well. Just thought I might get some help here quicker. Thanks for your time.

"This program is too expensive to have such an amateur limitation."
To help you, Eric.. this is a conclusion to the question the precedes it. I never blamed the program for my lack of knowledge. I wouldn't waste my time in a message board asking how to accomplish a task if I felt it was impossible.
And, Arrogance? The extent of my description was to prevent people from responding with suggestions I've already tried. The second response fixed the problem (not the first, mind you) so it seems my message suited the situation... and no others found the need to tell me I was the problem.
MY attitude is in response to YOUR arrogance. After asking a friendly question, you respond with the limitation only being mine, but there is also a limitation with the software. Contradictory? I see you have a reputation to uphold, and now understand the driver that came with Audition does have limitation. It's nice to see you have people that give you credit, because your posts merely tell me that (1) I don't know what I'm doing .. and (2) Yeah, Audition has the limitation you need help getting around.
Well thanks for your help. My first and last point is why you find the need to tell people they don't understand something, when that's clearly why they've come to you and your peers. You'd make a great firefighter -- showin' up with flashing lights, to deliver the news to people that they don't know how to work an oven.

Adobe Audition CC re-linking issue

I have a strange issue where I gave students copies of a project which they store on their hard drives, they they do audio post-production work on it and submit the Audition .sesx file to me for grading. When I relink their source files for the multitrack mixing session, all of the clips are imported out of sync by the same amount. I've attached a screen shot of the problem.
You can see how the waveform just ends in the middle of the clip, and if I drag the left handle of the clip out, there is the audio that is supposed be playing for the duration of the clip. It's the strangest behavior and I can't find anything on it on any other forums. Has anyone else experienced this behavior or know of a solution?

I just sent SuiteSpot this e-mail:
Hmm, I think you’re on to something here.
The fact that all of the students started with the same material is established however Adobe Premiere does re-export the audio into it’s own aiff or wav files when using the ‘send to audition’ feature. What must have happened was that the students didn’t select the ‘match sequence settings and source clip settings’ when dragging footage into the timeline in Premiere so that whatever the default clip settings were is what they used. Then when they exported the sound files using the ‘send to adobe audition’ feature, those new files it created have either a different sample rate or something different from my files.
I’d prefer not to send out the actual files, because I made a promise to the person who let me use them (it’s a client project) that nothing would be put on the internet. So I kind of feel like an *** but I think it’s best I honor that promise. I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this next week by having the students not only give me their sesx file but also their source audio files and do some comparison.
I’ll let you know if I find anything, and if you have any further suggestions, please let me know as well!
Thanks everyone for chiming in,
