Adobe Audition CS6 and Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0 Help Needed!

Hey Everyone!
I have an iMac that I'm running Adobe Audition CS6 on and need some help with getting it to recognize my Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0 mixer. Mind you, I have no idea why Audition only lists "Internal Microphone" as my only choice under "Audio Hardware," so every ounce of help will be much appreciated!
So basically, how do I get Adobe Audition CS6 to recognize my Alesis mixer as audio hardware to let me record through it?

I'm not a Mac user but a quick look on the Alesis site suggests you may need to installed specialist Mac drivers, available here: MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 Integrated USB 2.0 audio interface and mixer
Edited to add...it wouldn't take a direct link but if you click on "Documents and Downloads" you should get what you need.

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.

Adobe Audition CS6 and Alesis Multimix 8 Firewire multitrack problem

I have the Alesis Multimix 8 Firewire mixer and am using Adobe Audition CS6 for my recording program.
I'm trying to connect 4 microphones via XLR and have them run in individual channels in Audition but I can't get more than 2 to show up on the program even though I have 3 plugged in right now. On top of that, I have to run input 1 and input 2 as mono channels instead of stereo channels to get it to work at all.
I'm looking to do a Podcast with my set up, is there a better program to use to record and edit? Or am I missing a driver for Audition or the Multi Mix?
Thanks!

Well, first the easy bit. Microphones ARE mono devices so using mono channels is absolutely correct.
Beyond that, you mention drivers. There are no special drivers for Audition but it is worth going to http://www.alesis.com/multimix8firewire to see if there are any driver updates for your mixer.
You don't mention what Operating System you're using but whichever it is, you should go to the Audio Setup page for Windows (i.e. not in Audition) and make sure it's detecting all the channels from the Alesis properly. You may have to set the Alesis as your default audio device for this.
On the Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware Setup menu in Audition, make sure you have the proper device type selected--I'd guess ASIO for a start. Make sure your Alesis is selected as the default hardware.
On the Edit/Preferences/Audio Channel Mapping menu, make sure you can see all the channels from your Alesis.
Finally, on the Multitrack screen, set the Input for each track to be the appropriate channel from the Alesis. If you're going to do this regularly, I recommend you get everything set up then save it as a Session template.
And I can't think of anything better than Audition for what you want to do...that's why it's used in thousands of radio stations around the world!

Hello! I have just bought Adobe Audition CS6 and I'm having trouble installing it.

Whenever I install it I keep getting the message that it "Failed to install Microsoft Visual C 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)" So I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the package. That would not work either. How do I get both to work? It cost a lot of money to get this software and I would really like to use it properly. Thank you for reading.
This is the note I get whenever I try to install the program:
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------

Without knowing anything about your system we can't even begin to advise. These libraries are used by gigazillions of programs and even device drivers, so the most plausible explanation is that one of those other tools has installed an incompatible version or has flagged them as critical so they cannot be arbitrarily removed by other installers. Either way, this is nothing that can be solved easily. Also not that you have a "display requirements not met" error there, which may point to a configuration issue with your graphics hardware and potentially cause the collateral issue with the MSVC libraries.

My Adobe Audition CS6 is not working

I have Adobe Audition CS6 and when I want to play something or record it doesn't work, and when I go to "preferences" my notebook just restarts, what can I do?

If it's only Audition which crashes your notebook, then uninstall and reinstall it.
But by the sound of it, there's something rather more fundamental wrong with the notebook; Audition is a pretty solid bit of code, and Windows has improved to the extent that it can catch program crashes and just send error reports.

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.

Adobe Audition 6 and Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface

I have recently opbtained a Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface, for use with Adobe Audition CS6. At first I used it with an HP i7 running Windows 8. It worked like a dream, doing everything that I expected of it. Now, I have plugged it to my Laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium. Sadly it refuses to respond to any commands in either direction. The PC giives the two-note ackowledgment that the USB is comminucating. However, that's as far as it goes.
Audition on the laptop knows what's connected and all options offer the USB connected device correctly named. Whatever I do, there is no sign of the Mackie MCU Pro waking up. It just seems to sit there, probably thinking it's a 'fridge or a toaster.
Has anyone else used this combination and did it work OK? I'm sure I'm mssing something obvious and there's an 'enable' of some sort. Can anyone offer any thoughts?
Thabk you for your time and help.
Alan

I have completely reset the Laptop (Packard Bell Easynote) to factory defaults and reinstalled Audition from scratch. It is now exactly the same as that installed on the desktop, except that the Laptop is Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium) and the Desktop is Windows 8.
I was hopeful that a fresh install of Audition CS6 would set the Mackie Control Surface off and running. Sadly, it is not the case.
So:
With precisely the same software (same source and same S/N) the Mackie worlks correctly with the Desktop but doesn't work at all with the laptop.
Just for the record, when plugging the USB from the Mackie to the laptop, it produces the usual two-tone acknowledgement that it is seeing something it recognises, but that is as far as it goes.
I'm now at a loss. Does anyone have any further thoughts?
Many thanks,
Alan

Adobe Audition CS6 Keeps Crashing?

Everytime I record vocals and go to click stop, or anything of the sort (sometimes its even adding effects and other stuff),
at complete random a box comes up on the screen entitling:
Adobe Audition CS6 has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution to the problem and will notify you when a solution is found.
and therefore forces me to close the program. This now happens EVERYTIME I record vocals for my music....
Upon start up of audition again this box comes up:
When I click continue, it will open my last recording session but the audio is always missing from the files and I have to re-record everything.
This happens every single time i use audition and its quite frustrating. Ive tried all three buttons but either way i have to restart.
Ive tried the shift trick when you first start the program, and i opened my project but it still continued to do the same thing...
Any Suggestions?

Well since you've tried the Vanilla startup, the only other option is to uninstall and reinstall the software. If it continues to happen after that, you have a fault in your computer, regardless of whether it's a Mac or PC.

Adobe Audition CS6 (5.0.1) update patch released

UPDATE: A new 5.0.1 update build has been made available as of July 20, 2012, due to an issue discovered in the Dynamics Processing effect. If you previously updated Adobe Audition CS6, please visit the links below and install the new update. This update is not available via Adobe Update Manager and must be downloaded via the website.
Today we released an update to address several bugs in Audition CS6. Many were minor workflow issues, but a few could cause Audition to crash under certain circumstances.
Download the patch installer directly from:
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5419
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5418
bugs fixed in Adobe Audition CS6 5.0.1 update:
APE files with metadata inserted by other editors cause Audition to crash (Windows)
If previous session directory no longer exists, Audition leaves the Folder Location field empty
Multitrack fades no longer respect the fade type preference. (Worked in CS5.5)
Audition may crash when users choose to create unique copies of selected MT regions
Playback stutters when creating a unique copy of a clip while right-click dragging
Channel Mix settings not honored on export when not exposed in dialog
EUCON Soft Key set contains keys that do nothing
Session Tempo broken on systems using commas instead of decimal points
Bounce to New Track > Selected Track bounces AFTER passing through track output
If a favorite was recorded on subset of channels, the favorite will fail if those channels are disabled
Sending a stereo bus side-chained to a mono track may crash the application
UAD-2 plug-ins missing from Windows Effects menu
Audition may crash on launch when CoolType encounters certain installed fonts (Mac)

I'm really happy to see this update out, but I haven't been able to install it on my Mac yet.
The Updates item in the help menu is greyed out for me. When I try running the installer from the direct download it says 'Updates have been suppressed by your administrator.'
I can't imagine that I would have disabled updates.
Any advice?

Adobe Audition CS6 (5.0.2) update patch released

Hey Audition friends!
This morning we released an update patch for Adobe Audition CS6. This update, version 5.0.2 for Mac and Windows, fixes several bugs discovered after release that could not be fixed in time for the earlier patch, and cleans up a few odds and ends to ensure Audition is fully compatible for use on Windows 8. Briefly, here are the primary bug fixes:
Metronone may skip or stutter
Windows registry entry missing backslash in path
Eucon/Avid Artist control surface touchscreen: Control of Surround Panner does not work
Bounce to New Track > Selected Track: New track is now based on channelization of source track
Windows 8: Third-party drivers do not have a valid WHQL signature
CD Burning: Removed 78 minute limit from CD Layout.
Audition may crash on Mac when exporting to OMF
Audition may crash when attempting to bounce a track with a channelization that does not match the Master track
You may install the update by selecting Help > Updates… in Adobe Audition CS6 or through the Adobe Application Manager tool. Additionally, you may download the patch installer directly for Mac and Windows.

Since 5.02 is an update, not an upgrade (there's a technical difference under the hood) then you shouldn't need to rescan for VSTs or anything - the new executable will use the same settings files. However, I would suggest NOT updating in the middle of a project as a good rule of thumb. If you choose to, I might suggest backing up the existing application files or folder so you could easily restore if you chose to. There were no major changes introduced between 5.0 and 5.02 except for some bug fixes to improve stability, so you'll probably be safe, but unless you're running into one of the specific issues described, my recommendation would be to wait.
As for your second question, I don't know the answer to that. What happens when you attempt to perform a mixdown? There was some work done for the 6.0 release that would have reduced problems when trying to mixdown with UAD and other instance-limited plugins. If you enable Track Pre-Render for those tracks, by clicking the lightning bolt icon in the Effects Rack or the "fx" view in the track panel for those tracks, do you still experience a problem?

Acquistai, a suo tempo, l'aggiornamento del programma Adobe Audition CS6, essendo già in possesso della versione CS5.5. Poichè ho dovuto rifare il sistema operativo (windows 7 professional a 64 bit), reistallando il programma CS6, con il relativo serial number in mio possesso, ho notato un mal funzionamento e cioè:
importando un motivo musicale e avviando il programma, cliccando su play, non mi riproduce nessun motivo o canzone pur essendo in funzione.
Ho reinstallato il programma,ma senza risultato alcuno. Cosa devo fare? Grazie.

Talk Over - or similar - in Adobe Audition CS6

Hi,
I´m a new user of Adobe Audition CS6. In the past, I used to edit with Cool Edit PRO, the "grandfather"...
I have a question. I want to MIX 2 o more tracks, but I want to do this automatically. Is it possible?
In some mixer, the mic input use a "filter" call 'Talk Over'. Are there something similar in Adobe Audition Cs6? How can I do it? Some help, please.
Thanks & sorry about my poor english
Best Regards.

You need to use Side Chaining in order to duck the music under the voice over. See the help file on how to use the Side Chain.

have a question to ask ... I bought, at the time, the update of Adobe Audition CS6, being already in possession of the CS5.5 version. Since I had to redo the operating system (windows 7 professional 64-bit), reistallando program CS6, with the corresponding serial number in my possession, I noticed a malfunction that is:
importing a musical motif and starting the program, clicking on play, I do not play any pattern or song despite being in operation.
I reinstalled the program, but without any result. What do I do? Thanks.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
