Audition CS6 doesn't save .wav files.

I don't use Audition often and this is the first time I've used CS6. Likely to be the last as well. After recording a number of voiceovers Audition crashed. Ok, restart, it recovered nicely. Cool. Continued recording four other voiceovers in multitrack. Listened to them, the .wav files are listed in the File browser, opened one in the waveform editor but decided not to edit it then. great... save and quit. Quit successfully, no crash or errors.
Reopen project later... tracks are there but the .wav files are listed as offline. WTF? Search the hard drive, no sign of them. So all work is lost. Looks like I need to record in a different app. Kind of a bummer as you would think this would be af'ing core functionality of Audition.

This is unacceptable. I've seen two other users posts from the past month who are having hte exact same problem. This is not user error.
Okay, animosity aside, I think I may be seeing a pattern here. Several of those reporting faults have said something similar, i.e. that they got to the end of a recording in multitrack then saved.
In my work flow, I don't need to Save, check the file path then save again. Audition is recording direct to disk in whatever you've set up as your default file path. I create a new session title before recording then just have to save the session on exit (have the "Reference all open audio a video files option clicked in Multitrack preferences) and everything is where it should be. I'm wondering if your "two save" process is somehow saving a blank file over the one already there or something.
Like Steve, it's not a problem I've ever seen (and I use Audition many hours per day and have done so for many years) so I have to think it's something you're doing in your workflow rather than a fault everyone sees. Of course, if Audition lets you do something like that, it should be fixed to make things safer--but I don't think it's simply failing to save without it being something to do with how you're using it.

Audition CS6 Crashes on Save and Attempts to Recover - Temp File Solutions?

After a 46 minute session recording in 44.1K, 16-bit, stereo running CS6 on Windows 7, my attempt to save the wav file resulted in a crash with Close Program or Look on Internet for Solution.
Attempts to restart the program and use recovery data worked initially, but subsequent save attempts resulted in the same crash.
Attempts to copy the wav file also resulted in a crash.
Shutdown and restart of the system yielded the same results, in fact worsening on some attempts to recover, where the data file reported 2 errors, eventually resulting in a complete freeze of CS6 when attempting the recovery.
At some point, the recovery option no longer was displayed -- may have been my fault, but there is a large 2+ GB file under c:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe\Audition\5.0 named Audition5Temp9b878c42-d2e1-46cf-b433-9cebd47d6640 with no extension.
I tried importing this as raw data, 44.1K, 2 channel, 16-bit PCM, Default Byte order, but that resulted in what appeared to be a 3-hour file that was very high amplitude noise.
I'm hoping for a means of recovering this data file. In the years I used CS5.5, I never had a problem like this and recovery always worked in those rare instances when it was needed.
This is my second extended session with CS6, and this crash has left me wondering why I bothered to upgrade.
Is there any hope at all here of recovering this session from the Audition5Temp file, or is it a total loss.
Please let me know.
Yours,
M.B.

Hi Kent,
This issue has come up from time to time and we've traced it to a third-party application that is often installed and running on pre-configured computers. SupportSoft makes a system monitoring application that Dell, HP, Comcast, and others install, but which can interfere with applications. Since Audition uses the OS file dialog API, whereas Photoshop and the other design applications use a native dialog, this support application can often cause us to crash.
It's simple to disable, which should prevent Audition and other applications from crashing. Click the START button (or whatever it's called in Vista) and type MSCONFIG and press ENTER. When the "System Configuration" application launches, click the Services and Startup tabs and uncheck any item that reads SUPPORTSOFT or SUPPORTCMD. Click OK and restart and see if that doesn't fix the Audition issue.
If not, or if you're unable to locate those particular applications, please let me know and we can dig into this deeper.
Thanks,
Durin

Reader doesnˋt save edited files

Hello Community,
Iˋve huge issues with my Adobe Reader.
I always add my class notes directly into the PDF-files. Last semester it has been working perfectly fine.
This semester the Reader doesnˋt save the edited document. Instead it saves other version (_1, _2,...) each time pdf is viewed.
Iˋve already updated the App, reset the tablet as well as reinstalled the App.
How can I solve this issue?
Thank you,
Veronika

Hi Veronika
Sorry that this is causing trouble. Actually, the problem has arisen because you opened the file from the "folder" each time with Mobile Link - on. Mobile Link auto uploads your local document to the cloud and shows it in Recents. The best way to use this feature is to open files from Acrobat.com.
I ran your exact steps and found the problem. We will work towards fixing it in our next release. For now, you can follow these steps to recover the changes in your document:
1. The local file in your file manager, "Vertriebsmanagement" should contain all the changes you made to it whenever you opened it from that location. From your email below, it seems you started opening the file from Recents too. Those change would not be in the local file, but step 2 will help you retrieve those changes too.
2. To get rid of the multiple versions of the documents created on the cloud, follow these steps:
Visit files.acrobat.com from a computer/browser.
Login to Acrobat.com account and click on Files.
Click on Recent Files tab.
The files will be sorted by Date Viewed. Open the topmost version of your file. Note that it must have been renamed to "abc (y)". Ensure it has all the changes that you made. It will have the changes that you made when you kept opening the file from local file storage.
Close the file. Select all other versions of this file from the list and delete them. Note that these file versions will begin with the filename and followed by numbers.
Rename the file that you didn't delete to the original file name.
3. Going forward, to use Mobile Link - ensure that after opening a new file from local file storage, it is always opened from Recents on your mobile device. Since the local file was uploaded to the cloud, it is best to always open the cloud file to ensure all your changes are sync'd back to the cloud as well.
Hope this helps resolve your issue. Please let me know if it doesn't
Thanks
Shradha

Audition CS6 missing Session Template Audio Files

I am a creative cloud user and have installed Audition CS6. The session templates are there, but the audio files that I assume would accompany them are missing...like vocals, guitars, etc. Where might they be?

Audition 5.5 - Help with .wav files for phone system - making a hold message PC & Mcc

Hello everyone,
I am really frustrated trying to create a .wav file for our phone system and I was hoping someone might have some suggestions as I am new to using Adobe Audition. Our phone system will only accept .wav files for our hold messages but the tricky part is that is can only be a maxiimum streaming bit rate of 64 kbps. Everything we've created under 256 kbps becomes in-audible and I'm really not sure what to do as the current messages sound fantastic. Our current hold message is 35 seconds long and we have another one we are about to do which will be 2 minutes long (uuuugh).
- I've tried first converting the .wav file to an .mp3, lowering the bit rate to 64 kbps, then converting back to .wav but the bit rate goes up to almost 1500 kbps after re-converting.
- I've tried making the track mono, reducing the sample rate to 22k but the size ends up being somewhere between 512 and 768. If I lower the sample rate much further and convert to 8bit, the audio sounds terrible.
- I've also tried using Adobe Media Encoder, Audacity, Hand Brake, OS X Automator and a few other programs all with the same results.
- I've tried re-recording the audio on a handheld .mp3 recorder hoping the initial quality would be less (originally recorded on a PC through Audition with a external mic).
Unfortuantely, the person who used to do these conversions is no longer with the company, never documented the process and all I know is that they used to do this on a Mac. Also, the software that uplaods the files is a Linux based which is out of my area of expertise so I'm not able to tinker with it to make any headway.
** Any sort of suggestion would be greatly aprpeciated as I really don't know much about audio. I've been working on this for 2 weeks now and this is really driving me crazy. **

Eugh! Converting to MP3 is absolutely not the thing to do!

Okay, in reverse order: I know it sounds daft, but actually you want to start with the best recording you can possibly have. You are going to have to reduce its bit rate, but if you reduce a crap signal's bit rate, it inevitably ends up worse than reducing a good signal's one; when you think about that for a moment, it's going to make sense (I hope...).
As for what you need to do - well it's going to have to be a mono file anyway (you haven't got a stereo telephone system), and that will immediately halve the streaming rate, but the other thing you need to bear in mind is that telephones have a limitited bandwidth, and that your sample rate, even at 22k, is going to give you more bandwidth than the system has. If you can reduce it to 8k, it will work fine. This will still give you an upper frequency limit of 4kHz, and that's more than adequate for telephone speech, believe it or not...
The other thing, and this is where I think you may be running into trouble, is that 8 bit streaming is pretty much the norm here. All it does is to increase the noise floor, so that the signal to noise ratio is about 48dB instead of the 96dB it would be with a 16-bit signal. But, to get this to work to your advantage, you have to optimise the audio you are using in the first place. Chances are that you need to compress your recording so that it has a relatively limited dynamic range before reducing it to 8-bit, and then you'll be fine. This is better anyway for telephone systems - there's far less chance of bits of the message being missed because they're too quiet. Also, you don't want massive great peaks in the recording - these just reduce the maximum overall level for the majority of the message sound. So, you need to apply a limiter to get rid of them, leaving the majority of the speech sounding just as good, only louder. All of this you can easily do in Audition - don't need any other software at all.
So, my guess is that the previous maker of your messages knew exactly what he was doing. Yes, he could have documented the basic steps, but he couldn't have been absolutely specific about it because no two recordings are the same. I'll attempt to explain the basic steps in English, but how well you will be able to follow this, I'm not sure...
The basic process I'd go through with the recordings is firstly to normalize them to 0dB, then look at how far down most of the 'green' parts are - this is the bulk of the signal, and where all of the meaning is. Then, you apply a limiter to this so that those green parts don't have peaks sticking out of them. Then, if you need to, normalize again so that the green part moves to the upper part of the waveform space (towards where 0dB is). Then, if you need to, apply compression to the signal so that the level of it sounds about the same all through the message.
Now, when you reduce your signal to mono, 8k, and 8-bit, pretty much everything about the original signal will still be there. That should stream 8-bit words at 8k, making 64k streaming for a single mono channel. This will work fine, but only if you optimise the signal first - otherwise no chance!

HT1338 Safari/Bonjour won't save .wav files to desktop without adding .html

I use the Dragon Dictate 3.4.0 with the Dragon Recorder app on my iPhone 5 (iOS7.0.4). This app allows for me to use a wifi connection to upload dictation (.wav) to the Mac. The instructions using Safari and Bonjour are simple to follow. However, when I right-click to save the .wav file Safari/Bonjour adds the extension .html to the file. This makes it unable to be read as a .wav file by Dragon transciption. I don't have this problem when following the instructions for using an alternate browser, in this case Firefox. The problem with using Firefox is the number of steps involved. It should be less cumbersome and using Safari/Bonjour would make it so.
Why is the .html extension being added to a .wav file when asking Safari to save it?

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

Cmus doesn't play .wav files and pulseaudio isn't working properly

The first problem I noticed was that Chromium was using about 90% of my CPU while I wasn't connected to the internet. So I deleted Chromium because I couldn't fix the problem any other way. After deleting Chromium the CPU problem was fixed but after checking htop again I noticed this message with -11 being in red:
(http://pastie.org/4234521)
I started using cmus and noticed that .wav files aren't playing anymore but I am not sure if that has anything to do with this issue. Cmus played .wav files just fine when I had Chromium however. Also, RAM is steadily increasing at about 700 MB which never happened before. I think maybe the problem with cmus and the RAM increase could be caused by pulseaudio not working properly?
Also, when I run "pulseaudio" in the terminal I get this message in red:
$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

Why doesn't a Wav file import convert to AAC?

Hello,
I tried the "add file to library" and the "import" menu options to add a wav file to itunes. For both methods, I found that although the file gets added to my library, its not in AAC format which is my default import format in my preferences.
I can tell its not in AAC format by the 1400kbps rate which is normal CDA quality and not compressed. Also the file size is huge.
Any ideas on how to import wav files from my hard drive to itunes library on same hard drive?
Thanks for all help.
Generic P4 3.4 Ghz Windows XP Pro Video iPod 30GB

Once you have added the WAV file to your library, select it. In the upper-right corner of your iTunes window, where it normally says Burn Disk, it should say Convert (or something to that effect).
Clicking the icon will convert the file to the format and bitrate you have set in iTunes preferences.
Once you convert the file, you can delete the WAV file from iTunes if you wish.

Audition CS6 doesn't seem to recognize that I have a 5.1 system while mapping channels. Any ideas?

Hi there everyone. I'm trying to mix in 5.1 surround sound. I started a project and set it to 5.1, and I can edit everything just fine. The problem is that I can't monitor my results, because Audition doesn't seem to recognize that I have a 5.1 system (Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Digital) hooked up via 6-channel direct. It's not recognizing more than two channels. Does anyone know what's going on?
I have an Alienware M17x-R4 laptop running Win 8 Pro 64-bit. My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di.
Here's what my preferences look like.

I think there is something else going on.
I think you're correct, although I can understand entirely why ryclark said what he did - there are at least two reasons! Firstly, Creative Labs have history with piss-poor driver software (and hardware), and secondly (as an extension of this), it's quite normal for a lot of sound device manufacturers to provide only the minimum MME requirement as far as Microsoft is concerned - and that's just a two channel stereo output.
MME is obviously quite capable of supporting multichannel devices, albeit at higher latency values. If you are looking at just a playback situation though, this doesn't really matter. What may have happened here is that the driver software on your machine, and on the OPs, are simply at different version levels, and that all that's required is for the OP to update it.
For anybody serious about this though, I'd still recommend upgrading to an external sound device as any internal device, whoever made it, is inevitably going to be compromised in terms of performance. There are several reasons for this, but primarily they are too close to a load of digital noise within the machine, and this limits their signal to noise ratio. External devices are a lot better from this point of view, and usually you aren't limited by ridiculously flimsy 3.5mm jack connectors either. And inevitably, internal sound devices are built down to a price, not a performance point - not so good.

Audition CS6 files not showing in PPro

From PPro, I did the "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence" command. This opened the all the clip audio files as a group in Audition as expected. Got done with editing in Audition, saved projected in Audition via "File...Save" command.
Go back to PPro (which has been open the whole time). Nothing. Not a trace of change. Not anywhere I can find.
1) What is supposed to happen? I thought I'd see the newly edited audio files in the project panel, and the newly edited audio file on the timeline. But, what am I supposed to see?
2) If I'm supposed to get files in PPro from this operation, and I didn't, what did I do wrong? Said another way, are there any tutorials out there that illustrate the correct way to do this PPro -> Audition -> PPro dance?
3) At this stage, I suppose my path forward is just to export the project from Audition into PPro manually via the "Multitrack...Export to Adobe Premiere Pro" command. Is there a better way?

If you R click on the sequence name in the Project panel in Premiere and select Edit in Adobe Audition > Sequence, a set of .wav files (one for each clip in the sequence) called "{file name} Extracted.wav" is created in a folder which has the name of the sequence, and is located within the folder which contains the video clips.
What i do is Edit my clips and save each one.
Now go back to Premiere and import the edited files. You will have to place them on the Sequence. I usually place them on Track 2, leaving the original audio on track 1, and turn this off to mute it.
I have never used the AA Export back to PPro command.
Oddly, if you do this for individual files, you do not have to import the extracted files, the file appears in the Premiere Project Panel as soon as you click Edit in AA.
This is worth looking at:
http://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/editing-audio-with-adobe-audition
It is for CS5.5, but it looks as though the adding the edit tonew Audio tracks has gone in CS6. It is replaced by a command in Premiere which appears when you have sent the session back to Premiere.

Can't save a file in DW CS6

i open a single file in DW CS6 and make a change
I chose File > Save and it doesn't save the file (asterisk is still next to the tab)
If i close the file, DW prompts that the file has been modified and then the save works.
Also, if i do a File > Save All, that works (even thought only one file is open).
I have restarted both DW and my computer to no avail. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Have you tried deleting the cache file as of yet?
