Audition CS6 - Stereo Panning with Mono Content

I'm mixing a stereo soundtrack for a feature film.  All dialogue and sound effects content is in mono and the score is in stereo.  All of my content is placed in stereo tracks (I learned the hard way that the panning feature doesn't exist in mono tracks), whether it's stereo or mono.  Even though Audition isn't a DAW, I assumed it would function just like any other multitrack application for mixing purposes, but it appears I'm wrong unless someone can tell me what I'm missing.
I've gone through and added volume envelopes throughout all of the dialogue tracks, and now I'm trying to start placing them within the stereo field.  The pan envelopes are there, but whether I move a clip to a static position in the stereo field (such as 50% Left) or I automate movement through the stereo field (start at 50% Left and move to 50% Right), none of the changes are actually taking place.  The panned track is still sitting there right in the middle of the stereo field.  Even if I adjust the pan knob on the track itself, the audio is sitting dead center regardless of where it's panned.
So as it stands, I have about thirty tracks of content, where all of the music is in stereo and every bit of dialogue and all sound effects are sitting right in the middle.  Needless to say, that's not a good approach for mixing a stereo project.
What am I missing?

Yeah, that's why I'm so confused.  Here's how everything is set up:
All of my dialogue and ADR clips are mono, however they have all been placed on stereo tracks.  All of my dialogue and ADR tracks are being sent to a Dialogue/ADR Bus (mono).  The same with all of my sound effects.  Stereo tracks containing mono clips, all being sent to a mono SFX bus.  All of my soundtrack/score is being sent to a stereo score bus.  The three buses are going to the master stereo out.
When I pan the individual buses, it works fine, regardless of whether they are stereo or mono.  But when I work with individual mono clips in my Dialogue/ADR/SFX tracks, none of the pan automation works.
I might've screwed something up, but I originally had all of my mono material set on mono tracks, until I realized later that panning isn't an option with a mono track.  (All DAWs I've worked with didn't have this limitation, which is why I set it up that way.)  So I created a bunch of stereo tracks, copied/pasted the mono clips into those, then got rid of the mono tracks.
What's goofy is that none of the new stereo tracks I created have "Pan" as an option when I click on the "Read" drop-down and select "Show Envelopes".  My score tracks (the original stereo tracks I created when I brought everything in) DO have "Pan" as an option.
So, even though the new tracks are stereo (they have a pan knob on both the mixer view and the track header in the multitrack view) and there are blue pan envelopes on the tracks, there is no pan envelope in the automation lane, so I'm guessing that's why the pan functions aren't working on the individual tracks.
I just don't understand why the pan envelopes don't exist on the stereo tracks I recently created, but they do exist on the stereo tracks I set up from the get-go.

  • 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.

  • Windows 8 freezes while I try to watch online Flash content and running Audition CS6

    I recently bought a online introduction course to Auditon CS6 on Vimeo.com
    While I have a setup where I put the lecture on one screen and the program on the other I like to follow tutorials and learn how to use software.
    However this proves to be impossible for me in Audition, because for some reason my computer gets completely unresponsive after a little while of watching the lectures with Audition running.
    It never happens when Audition hasn't been launched, and I'm kind of suspecting a driver conflict, but I don't have a fancy audio card in my computer, (just built in Realtek,) and find it a bit
    odd that it wouldn't be supported as it is some of the most common audio setups around. As far as I know the system runs stable with Audition running and no Flash content started as well.
    This has happened for the last couple of months and I've updated Flash and drivers as they roll out. Audition CS6 is downloaded with the Creative Cloud application Manager.
    Here is some general info on my computer:
    OS: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.
    Motherboard: eVGA x58 Classified (Tried with stock BIOS and also updated to new BIOS)
    Audio Card: Realtek (on motherboard)
    Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
    The system storage device is a SSD (Firmware recently updated due to BSODs apearing, and seems to be resolved.)
    I do believe that this might not be a Audition issue, but rather a issue with Flash. However Audition + Flash reproduces this problem faster than anything else I can remember this happening while
    using other 3rd party software while playing Flash. (Not exactly the type of software.) I have a suspicion that it is something that occurs if Flash and other programs is paging/wiring/reading the SSD...
    I can't remember this happening with Photoshop or other Adobe software, and so I'm also curious to how different Audition runs "under the hood" so to speak. What is it constantly checking
    that could lead to a hardware conflict.

    A month ago I uninstalled AVG Internet security from my computer making it a lot less potent to BSODs in general, (can't reacall having any.) So today I thought I'd try to learn some more Audition. I could Sit with it for a good while just playing around with recordings and settings and my system didn't react weirdly at all. So the next step was of course to try and load some of the Udemy lectures I had waiting.
    As the video was buffering I turned away from the computer for a while, but when I came back it had completely froze up again... I don't think I've ever had a BSOD in this context either, instead of going into BSOD the computer just stops responding completely.
    (I'm using the latest version of Flash, tried with both Firefox and Chrome.)
    I'm thinking this is a very niche bug and I can't seem to se that it can be anything but a conflict with Flash. Weither it's a memory leek or what ever it is.
    I can use Audition fine on my computer it seems, as long as I never start a browser in risk of loading a Flash application, (which would be fine if I was avid, but I need some lectures to get started.)
    Nothing really seems to be overloaded (RAM/CPU) before the freeze ocurs either.
    I  don't really know where or how to adress this to the Flash Player forum/community, (or if there is one.)
    Thanks.

  • Audition CS6 and iTunes

    No track or title info shown in iTunes when importing a CD burnt in CS6.  Is this correct, or am I missing something when creating the content?

    Yeah, Audition CS6 works fine with the driver type set to MME, then using an onboard sound interface (in my case, on my laptop, a Realtek).  I'd never use it for any recording purposes but just for manipulating existing stuff I've yet to find a drawback--I do theatre work and sometimes do this for a quick edit or whatever without hooking up one of my external ASIO interfaces.
    Actually, I just thought of one minor drawback--if you want to use the same session on two different sound interfaces, you have to reset the hardware set up screen each time you change--but this isn't a biggy and can be minimised by using "Save As" and a different name if it you don't need all the changes available in both places.

  • Can't load ASIO driver / device could not be opened error in Audition CC but not Audition CS6

    I have a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB 2.0 that I use for audio.  I installed Audition CC and it wont let me use the ASIO driver for it.  I get the device could not be opened error.  On the same system I have Audition CS6 which works with the ASIO driver fine.  Also have Vegas, Premiere, etc - all on the same machine and no problems with the M-Audio driver.  I can load the Blackmagic ASIO driver but don't use that for audio mixing.  Changing Use Machine Specific Device Defaults and Force Hardware to Sample Rate does nothing.   Running Windows 7 64 bit.

    M-Audio 64-bit driver is apparently troublesome, but the 32-bit one works fine - which explains why CS6 works and CC doesn't. As far as I can find out, you aren't the only person with this problem - have a look at this Reaper forum thread - you may get some useful information from it (no promises!)

  • Audition CS6 and onboard Audio

    I notice that the requirements for Audition CS6 contain a:
    Sound card compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft WDM/MM
    I did a search on here, and I saw that some people are using onboard audio for CS5.5, but I wasn't sure how cs6 would handle this? I'm not going to be doing intense audio editing - simply some of the ADR syncing tools and maybe filtering out background noise.
    I attempted to check different motherboards to see if it said anything about the sound on the board being compatible with ASIO protocol or Microsoft WDM/MM, but no luck. It really doesn't appear too often, except when I look at sound cards in the $100+ range.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!

  • 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.

  • Help needed in getting my Alesis Multimix Firewire 16 to work with Audition CS6

    I've just bought a new Fujitsu AH 532 Lifebook Laptop with a Windows 8, 64 bit OS. I've installed my Adobe Audition CS6 on it and I've connected my Alesis Multimix 16 Firewire to it via my StarTech 34mm Firewire Express Card which has a Texas Instrument Chipset. AA CS6 sees the mixer but only allows a stereo track input but it also does not want to record. I've attached some images of the audio channel mapping, audio hardware setup, and also the multitrack recording view. Also I'm using the Alesis Windows 7 driver for the mixer. You will also see that I cannot select the sample rate in the audio hardware setup panel, the sample rate is stuck on zero. In the multitrack view there's no signal when I press the record button.
    All suggestions and help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Donovan.

    It's probably nothing but this is from the Windows Dev Center
    "In Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), and Windows 98, audio drivers conform to the Windows Driver Model (WDM) and make use of the kernel streaming (KS) components, which operate in kernel mode and are part of the operating system."
    I don't see any mention of Windows 8 - maybe nothing?
    Just a thought - why not try the asio4all driver just to see if it makes a difference?
    You can install it and then select that driver in Audition - you can always switch back

  • Help With Audition CS6: Adding windows sound to accompany USB Mic

    Hey Guys,
    I have a Blue Yeti USB microphone that I wil be using to create a podcast with a friend over skype. When I am setting up audition cs6 I cannot seem to get the USB mic AND skype audio to be recording at the same time. Is this because I do not have a dedicated sound card, or is there something else I am missing?
    On a side note, when I set the multitrack to the stereo mix, it says that there are two different types of audio signals and wont record.
    Thanks for your help!

         I have been using Audition on this computer for the past few months now. The computer itself is an Alienware laptop, with the most optimal specifications we could get. So right away ram, disk space, disk writing speed, processor, and sound hardware should not be an issue at all.
    I take it that you are using the internal sound hardware, then. If this is the case, then you could easily have problems with the sound device, because there isn't a single laptop made that has a decent sound system in it. For a start, none of them support ASIO - which is inherently what Audition uses to produce its output. What happens to get around this is that Audition has to provide an internal extra driver to drive the default sound driver, and this is at best a compromise. If you want decent sound from a laptop, then you need an external sound device with an ASIO driver.
    As for W8, well I'm with Bob on this one. It's new, slightly weird, and as with all M$ operating systems, all bets are off until at least the first service pack is issued. If you have anti-virus software that's any more aggressive than AVG, then turn it off. The other common gotcha is wifi - some systems manage to give a massively high priority to wifi polling, and sometimes just turning it off completely is the only way to get any sort of performance at all. I must say though that lately this doesn't seem to have been anything like as much of an issue as it used to be back in the bad old days...
    But, if you have badly stuttering playback, then it sounds as though your HD streaming isn't working as it should, and that something else is getting priority access to the drive - which is sometimes where virus scans can catch you out. You really do need to stop pretty much everything unnecessary running, one way or another. And get an external sound device that uses ASIO - this effectively bypasses most of the OS, and gives Audition pretty direct access to the device.

  • Appcrash with multitrack sessions in Audition CS6 on a MacBook Pro with Windows 7

    This is an issue with multitrack sessions different from 44100 Hz in Audition CS6 (as part of a Premium Suite CS6). While multitrack sessions with  a sampling rate of  44100 Hz works normally (as long as I use clips with 44100 Hz) any other sampling rate causes  an APPCRASH (s. below). Also with the insertion ( in a 44100 Hz multitrack session, of course) of any clip with a sampling rate different from 44100 Hz, the programme crashes in the moment it's going to generate a adapted copy for the multitrack timeline.
    Audition is installed on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" ,Mid 2014, Model 11,3, Intel Core i7 4870HQ 2,5 GHz, 16GB RAM  with  Windows 7 SP1.
    I tried all advices of the Adobe troubleshooting site and some of the community.
    Especially:
    - the simplified mode with user-defined system start
    - deactivated user account control
    - new user account
    - deactivated data execution prevention (DEP)
    Also the use of different audio interfaces affords no effect:
    - build in Cirrus Logic CS4208 with MME drivers
    - Motu UltraLight mk3 hybrid via USB with Asio drivers.
    In spite of an extensive search I can't find any similar case in the net.
    So, please, can you help me?

    I'm afraid you are right. At the worst I'm more than 50% of the audition users on a mac with windows.To solve the problem within a passable time I would like to change to the mac version of audition. But unfortunately it's impossible to use the mac version with a windows licence. And CS6 licences (mac audition) are not longer available (only at a moon rate). 
    Because of the weekend we can pass the time with the latest news of my trouble-shooting.
    The crash is not only within the multitrack session but also within the waveform view: when I try to change the sampling rate (Edit -> Convert Sample Type) the programme crashes with the same problem signature. And here it crashes with all sampling rates , including 44.1k audio files. On the other hand I can play all sampling rates within the waveform view. 
    I compared the logfile from the predecessor of the MacBook , a LG Notebook with windows vista and a working Au CS6 with the current logfile of the Mac: They are identical at the beginning and at the end (termination sequence). But after " Initializing AuScripting"  there is a "DLMS 6.0x39 FileServer startup code: 0" and the listing of a couple of codecs in the Notebook logfile - but not so in the Mac logfile.
    Also the logfile of my workstation with a working Au CS6 shows this "DLMS 6.0x39 FileServer startup code" - line. Because of the two working and one crashing computer this part of the logfile seems to be important ??

  • About Mono/Stereo working with Logic 9

    Hello guys,
    I´m new member here... I hope to share here with you great audio experiences.
    Sure... i´m new Logic 9 pro user too. So i have no much idea about some things.
    As I could see in other discussions, we have great geniuses of the audio here and that's really nice!!!
    So... i have some questions:
    1) When i´m using MONO channels (with vocals or drum elements) and then send these channels to a STEREO group, with reverb, eq, etc... all the things BECOME stereo or they are given only ´´filling´´ stereo as additional ´´space´´?
    1-2) About this same question... shoud i send these elements MONO channels to MONO group?
    2) I love to create my own song textures... and to make my kickdrums, i always use MONO channels with appropriate layers audio, such as a layer with the bass/fat part, another layer with the mid and end with the clicks or high part. So i send them all to a MONO group where i equalize and glue everything with tape, compressor, etc... so... To me it´s very good, but someone can tell me if that´s the way?
    Please fell free to give your opinions.
    Thank you very much

  • Is MBox (3rd Gen) compatible with Audition CS6 on Windows 8?

    I have Audition CS6 running on Windows 8 and everything seems to be working well, but I need a new interface.  I was wondering if the MBox (3rd Gen) would work?  I searched around everywhere and haven't been able to find an answer.  I also tried to find some way to get a hold of Adobe directly to ask this question...but they really don't make it easy.  So here I am.  Is there anybody in the community who knows if this will work or not?  Thanks!

    We've been asked about this before, and the answer is... it depends. The problem is that this is made by the firm that owns ProTools, and they are notorious for not wanting their hardware to work as well as it might with other DAWs. Given a free choice, and bearing in mind that there are any number of other hardware devices on the market that are known to work fine with Audition, I'm not really sure why anybody would purchase anything from that company nowadays unless they wanted it specifically to be able to work with PT.
    If you can specify what you want to be able to do with your interface, and how much you are prepared to spend on it, we can almost certainly come up with better suggestions.
