Audition CS5.5 (OSX) + RME HDSPe MADI Soundcard Problem

There is a big problem here with Audition CS5.5 and the RME HDSPe MADI soundcard.
Stereo playback is no problem but surround playback is. This is a 64in/64out soundcard and Audition
seems to have problems with the amount of outputs. With surround playback and the output channels
set to 1/2/3/4/5/6 for 5.1 playback, the output starts at channel 57! Then one channel is left out - the next
playback channel is 59 and so on. Please make Audition CS5.5 aware of more I/O channels.
When I switch to the additional RME HDSPe PCIe card which only has 26 I/O Audition works normal and addresses
all I/Os correctly as far as I could check.
I even have the two soundcards aggregated to a 90in/90out CoreAudio device. It would be great to have the possibility
to use this aggregated device too. RME allows on driver level to combine different/multiple soundcards for ASIO and CroeAudio.
It would be great if Audition can support all audio interface combinations.
The RME soundcards work absolutely flawless on the same machine with Nuendo 5, PT HD9 and Logic 9 so I can exlude
any driver or setup problem.
Manyn thanks in advance for any effort to solve this.

I have to say that I'm a bit surprised no official seems to take this serious enough to answer to this problem.
Audition CS5.5 is surprisingly good and mainly layed out very ergonomically. Therefore I think a lot more
professionals will be interested in this software. But things like problems with sound card environments with I/O cpability
above, let's say, 32 channels is a major show stopper.
I'm very confident that the problems lies in Auditions channel handling with CoreAudio, because any other (professional) software
runs perfectly with 128 or 180 channels I/O combined.
I read in another post that no patches are planned until CS6. This would be a real drag ... to use Audition with surround files and
higher channel count I have to do work arounds that aren't funny at all.

  • Ps CS5 and OSX 10.7.3 (Lion) Problem

    Ok, so I asked this awhile back when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6.x) on this late 2009 27" iMac.  Someone mentioned that I should disable Open GL drawing to resolve it, and it worked, for awhile except for many of the features in CS5 you need Open GL enabled.  If no one else is having this problem on the same OS then I am going to take this computer back to Apple and have it fixed/replaced.  Maybe it's the graphics card, I don't know.  But here is what my PS documents look like about 75% of the time.  Sometimes it is worse than this and it makes working very, very hard:
    The very strange white pixelation that appears is also appearing on the panels now as well (look at the layers panel in the above image).  It is becoming very frustrating.  I updated to 10.7.3 to hopefully 'fix' the problem, but no cigar.  I don't know if this is an Adobe problem or an Apple problem.  I notice it appears on applications like Safari when a webpage with Flash is running as well.  I know Adobe and Apple don't get along but this is becoming a regularity for my Photoshop experience.  It's also starting to affect many other applications on my computer.  It happens almost every time I run Photoshop, and it affects other applications that I run if Photoshop is running simultaneously.  If I quit Photoshop it clears up this issue in many other applications.  Any ideas?  Is anyone else running these system specs having this problem?  If so, have you done anything to fix it?  I am considering sending this iMac back to Apple and having the graphics card looked at.
    My intuition says there is either a clash between Adobe programs and OSX and that is the source of the problem, or I have a bad graphics card, but I have no proof of that.  It happens on websites with Flash and it happens directly in Photoshop.  It doesn't happen in Illustrator, InDesign, or Dreamweaver though.  I am totally at a loss for what is causing this.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    That's a pretty classic example of a bad GPU or bad VRAM.
    Yes, your video card is bad and needs to be replaced.

  • Any idea on when Audition CS5.5 will be compatible with Mac OSX Lion

    Hi
    Any idea on when Audition CS5.5 will be compatible with Lion ?
    Will they let us know through this forum or on the main product page ?
    Thanks

    I've seen this before on a Theatre Sound Mailing List I subscribe to.
    Every time Apple issue an updated operating system there's a flurry of questions about all sorts of sound recording, editing and playback software that no longer works.  This moves to a flurry of "this update now works but that one doesn't" posts then, eventually everything settles down just in time for Apple to issue a new upgrade.
    I don't understand why they do things this way but it's one of the reasons I stick to Windows and never wish to move to Apple products.  Their disregard for their customers (or are they acolytes?) is astounding.

  • How To Extend Adobe Audition CS5.5

    I've received a number of questions on how to extend Adobe Audition with questions similar to:
    How do I import file format X?
    How do I import a project from application Y?
    Will there be an SDK available?
    How do I add plug-ins to Audition?
    I had made a post similar to this in the public beta of Audition for Mac, but I can no longer find the thread. So I'll reiterate some stuff here:
    Area
    Info
    Adding VST Plug-Ins
    Most of you have found this already, but the best place to start is in the Audio Plug-In Manager
    If you want to "write" new plug-ins for Audition, writing a VST plug-in will be the best option as it will allow you to write something that will work on Windows as well as OSX.  Info on writing a VST plug-in may be found here (http://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developer.html)
    Adding Audio Unit Plug-Ins (Mac OSX)
    Same as Above.   Note that OSX ships with some built-in AU plug-ins that Audition can utilize for free if you just scan at least once.   We don't scan on startup because there's several plug-ins out there in the world that don't behave well.  Info on Audio Unit plug-in development can be found here (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/AudioUnitProgr ammingGuide/TheAudioUnit/TheAudioUnit.html)
    Adding more import formats via libsndfile
    libsndfile is an open-source C library for reading and writing audio files (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/)   Ambitious people could download the source, write support for another format, and create their own custom-rolled library of libsndfile.  You would then replace the version of libsndfile with which Audition CS5.5 ships, with the one you rolled.   Due to the way we use libsndfile, any format you add would show up in Audition.   This is also true if there's an official update to libsndfile that comes out in the future, you could just plop it in and it should work. 
    If you're interested in exporting or writing formats that libnsdfile supports, please tell us which formats are the most important to you and in what way you use them in your workflow.
    Adding more import formats via QuickTime components
    QuickTime has the ability to be extended via QuickTime Components.   There's several examples out there, but here are some websites to check out:
    QuickTime Components (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html)
    Learn about even more QuickTime capabilities (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html)
    Flip4Mac for Windows Media support on OSX (http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm)
    Perian -- the swiss-army knife for QuickTime (http://perian.org/)
    Calibrated Software (http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/products.asp)
    In most cases, just adding the various QuickTime components will automatically add the import functionality to Audition.
    Importing project formats from other applications
    As seen on other threads in this forum, Ses2sesx (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/ses2sesx.html) and AATranslator (http://www.aatranslator.com.au/) seem to add quite a bit of support.
    SDK
    At this time, we haven't released an SDK for Audition.   If you're interested in one, however, please tell us what you would want from an SDK for Audition and we'll take it into consideration.

    Charles,
    could you please also advise what PC users can do to make common avi files useable in AA CS5.5? The obvious problem is, no matter how many exotic video formats a PC can play by way of video-for-windows codecs, these are useless for Quicktime, because Quicktime on the PC needs codecs specifically written for "Quicktime for Windows", which are, as I've come to find, EXTREMELY rare. So far I've only found ONE, sold by 3ivx, but this costs as much as the AA CS5.5 update itself. Without them, Quicktime on the PC will only handle mov files, which are not too popular on the PC. Is there any other way out of this?

  • 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!

  • Audition CS5.5 not working on 2014 MacBook Air

    Greetings!
    Just upgraded computers (from a 2008 MacBook) to a 2014 MacBook Air (13", Early 2014).  I had Audition CS5.5 on my old Mac so I deactivated it, installed it on the new Air and activated it.  Everything seemed to install smoothly, but when I open the program and open an audio file, it just doesn't work, plain and simple.  I hit play and nothing happens. I try with the spacebar and nothing happens.  The play button lights up, but nothing plays.  I can add effects to tracks and see that changes are being made in the waveforms, but can't listen back.  Even after making changes, I cannot save those changes.
    The specifics:
    13" MacBook Air (Early 2014)
    1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Running OSX Yosemite (10.10.3, same as my old MacBook with no issues)
    As for Audition, it's CS5.5.  There don't appear to be any updates available.  I know that I can upgrade to CS6 and I have no problem paying the upgrade charge, but will only do so if I know for a fact that the issue will be resolved.  And honestly, unless there are earth-shattering updates, I'm perfectly happy with 5.5.
    So there it is.  Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?  I've done some searching, but can't seem to find anyone with the exact issue I'm having.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Thanks ryclark! 
    I checked the audio settings and all appeared to be right. Just to be safe, I re-selected the correct options.  The right drivers were also installed, but again, I re-selected it just to be sure.  And viola!  It worked!
    Very strange.  So essentially I changed nothing, but not it works.  Can't thank you enough for the speedy response!

  • Looping in Audition CS5.5

    I've been using Audition for about 7 years now, and recently via BootCamp on my MacBook, so I was really excited when I found that Audition was being made available for Mac OSX. I use Audition for doing 20 - 30 minutes long mixes, but also remixes and mashups. The tool that has been the most essential has always been the 'Loop Properties' tool, where I could set the BPM and number of beats of a loop, making it possible to sample stuff from a bunch of songs and putting them all in identical tempo. This, however, seems completely impossible in Audition CS5.5, making Audition completely useless for me, and forcing me to move on to some other software. But before I invest a couple of hundred hours learning new software, is there 1: any way of doing what 'Loop properties' used to do? and 2: any reason to why 'Loop properties' was removed? and finally 3: will 'Loop properties' be reintroduced in any fashion in the next Audition version?
    Thanks,
    Samuel

    If you read around the forum a bit, you'll discover that there are indeed quite a significant number of features of previous versions of audition that haven't made it into this, the first dual-platform release of Audition. And therein lies a bit of a clue as to why...

  • Adobe Audition CS5.5 with Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello everybody.
    I am considering downgrading from Master Collection CS5 to Adobe Production Premium CS5.5
    But quite frankly it's just because of one application.
    Though, i am in doubt if i'll actually going to make the downgrade.
    And as you could and might have guessed it is the Adobe Audition CS5.5 Application.
    Though really the whole pack has a GREAT improvement overall, I just actaully want to mix SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro and sound editing application (Audition).
    Which leads me to my next question.
    Now with Adobe Soundbooth CS5 closed off (by April 24th), and an UPGRADE for Soundbooth CS5 users to Audition CS5. Does this mean that Audition CS5.5 works SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro CS5?
    Is there a dynamic link between the two applications? (Audition CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS5)
    AM i able to send mixes between the two? I really don't want to loose any Audio data, such as 5.1 channel mapping, volume mixing, denoising, general mixing etc.
    All i really need is some good quality sound editing which works seamless, as After Effects and Premiere Pro has proved to me can be done.
    Just want to know if it is possible. Or if I REALLY have to upgrade in order to get the sweet apples.

    Hi _durin_
    Thanks for your quick response.
    But I didn't quite understand your answer.
    I have seen Jason Levine's video earlier, as CS5.5 was announced and it looks natively good. I understand the mixdown attributes etc.
    Please correct me if im wrong HOWEVER this workflow and settings applies still to ONLY the new CS5.5 Version?
    Im currently using Master Collection CS5.
    Instead of getting either the Production Premium, or Master Collection I am strongly considering updating Soundbooth CS5 to Audition CS5.5 (the option is there as i can tell by SoundBooth's website, though i get a weird error message when I click the update link...)
    However I need to know, IF Audition CS5.5 works well with the PREVIOUS version (that'll be CS5 not 5.5), of Premiere Pro.
    Are there an option to render the reference video, and generate a interchange session from WITHIN Premiere Pro CS5 to Audition CS5.5?
    Im sorry if I either sound harsh or "willingly" misunderstanding. But I have only documentation on how the integration works between the current versions (meaning 5.5).
    Im as you can guess VERY confused over the move from Adobe to make a .5 version instead of a full-fledged CS6 solution. It causes a stir, cause I then don't know much of the integration between the previous applications.
    I have seen as an example that Photoshop CS5 have gotten the update to receive paintings/files made with their new touch API. So I wonder whether integrational features will be a part of the CS5 pack since, as i've mentioned, an application like Soundbooth gets replaced with Audition, with an upgrade option for the Soundbooth owners.
    Im confused and hope you can help me clear my mind up, whether to upgrade or not. I will download the trial eventually, but not onto my current CS5 system since I already use this in my daily video work and want to AVOID confusion.
    Best

  • Audition cs5.5 does not work

    I'm trying the audition demo cs5.5
    When I start the app I get the message mme device internal error ; check your audio harware
    When i choose the appropriate driver for my hardware - asio . i get the error again and audition resets the drive to mme
    Then I have no plackback
    After that i can't start audition no more  it crashes the audio driver and closes with windows error
    When i delete the audtion 4.0 folder in appdata - roaming ,  i can start again but the process is repeated
    other versions of audition i used work fine with my soundcard :
    e-mu 1616pci
    on windows 7 32-bit
    can someone help ?

    I can't give you details, as it's a Mac - but the chances are that if you have imported all of your Audition settings from a previous machine, that one of them is essentially wrong for the new machine. So even though the preference appear to be correct, they aren't.
    To give you an idea though, the thing to do is to read this FAQ:
    Restoring the default settings for Audition CS6
    It's essentially the same as for 5.5, except that the final target directory may have a lower number (like 4...). I'd pay particular attention to the section at the end, just before Durin's extra comment - it's probably this file that's incorrect.

  • Latency on Audition CS5.5

    Hi guys,
    Currently trying out Audition CS5.5, on Win 7 64-bit with my Firewire Solo. I've been experiecing some latency when live monitoring tracks.
    The only it improves, is to reduced the buffer settings on the Firewire Solo Control Panel, reducing it to 64 samples!
    The strange bit is that I don't get this latency on Audition 3 or on any other application.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Audition CS5.5 compatible with Mountain Lion OS on Mac?

    Does anyone know if there are issues here? What about CS6? I  have not upgraded to CS6 yet, but I only moved to a Mac when Audition became available for Mac and have not had any problems. Thanks!

    Yes, we can confirm that Audition CS6 is compliant with Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8) and their are currently no known issues between the product and the new OS.
    While Audition CS5.5 is not the latest version of Audition, I can also confirm that it appears to work just fine as well.
    With the minimal backend architectural changes made to the new Mac OS (between Lion and Mountain Lion), we see no reason for users to be concerned.
    I hope that helps.

  • Visual C++ runtime error on startup audition cs5.5 win8.1

    After reinstalling Audition cs5.5, I get a visual C++ runtime error at startup.  I have never had a problem before on a reinstallation.  I have tried uninstall and reinstall without any success.  Is their a version of Visual C++ that is needed here?  Is this an incompatibility problem with Win 8.1?  Has anyone else had this problem?  I haven't had any luck in the FAQ section.

    The only issues I've ever heard about involving this appear to have been caused by having too many versions of the run-time on a machine. I'm not entirely sure what the situation with software only running properly with the version it was intended to is, but apparently clearing out older versions (you can check this out and remove them if you want using the normal uninstall routine) has fixed this particular problem on at least one occasion. It's worth investigating, anyway.

  • How do you Auto Tune in Audition CS5.5

    To make the CS5.5 deadline, and with the cross-platform rewrite, we simply weren't able to get to some things on our list (not that we ditched the features or anything).   However, MPEG 1 Layer II, and MPEG 2 Layer II have their own royalty issues that we have to pay for.

    Not the case at all, we know many of our loyal radio customers need this functionality on a daily basis.   I do, however, have to admit that we saw this as less prevelant than .mp3 (when looking at our total customer base).

    Best thing to do would be to amass a set of test files such that if/when we support this, it can be more thoroughly tested in-house before we put it out the door.   I have a good set from various places, but we always get our best and trickiest test files from customers.
