Export Multitrack Mixdown Crashing Audition

Hi there,
I've been helping some friends record an EP and am trying to export all the recorded audio to send to someone else to mix/master.  Someone else recorded for them originally and from those sessions we kept the drum and bass tracks, but i had to rerecord all the guitars and vocals for them.   I have been trying to Export a Multitrack Mixdown, but it has been crashing audition every time.  I believe the issue is that the original recordings are stereo, and all the stuff I recorded with them is mono.  I have been struggling to find a way to convert the mono recordings to dual mono, so if someone could point me in the right direction for that, that  could be a solution.  If anyone wants to take a look at the .sesx file too, that would be great. 
The main issue is that I'm not able to get all of the clips exported as .wav files that are a uniform length, so that someone else is able to work on them.  I don't think it's a computing issue, as I have a fairly high powered PC, and there are no effects on any of the tracks.  I am able to export all the original recordings to wav files, but none of the new ones. 
To let you know what I'm working with, I'm running Audition CS6 on a Windows 7 PC.  I covered everything I can think of at the moment, but let me know if I missed any details that could help solve this issue.  Thanks in advance.   

I'm having the same problem. In fact, I've noted that a few people have had this problem, and no one from Audition has been able to provide a solution.
The only workaround I've seen that works (kind of) is to make sure every single track in your session is a stereo track. Delete all of your mono tracks. Notice that I did NOT say delete the mono CLIPS. Keep the clips, but move them into stereo tracks and delete the (now empty) mono tracks you have. Then, when you do a stem mixdown, it should work.
This is really annoying, believe me, I know. And it really sucks that these kinds of known issues rarely actually get addressed (the 5.0.2 update was meant to address channelization issues that could result in crashing, but it obviously didn't). Furthermore, since I am regularly working with other engineers who use other DAWs, this makes me wonder more and more why I continue to use Audition. Wouldn't it be easier to work in a platform, that, I don't know, does what it's supposed to do?

  • Quits unexpectedly when exporting multitrack mixdown

    I've recently updated to Audtion CC. Everytime I try to export the multitrack mixdown, I've received an error and Audition quits unexpectedly:
    Is there a fix for this?

    Totally insufficient information to say anything about this at all. Can't even tell what OS it is, but if it's a Mac with early Mavericks on it then you need to update it - it's a pile of crap, apparently. If it's Windows and you continue to get problems, then send the error log file that Audition will generate to [email protected] for the devs to look at.

  • Problem with exporting Multitrack Mixdowns

    Hello,
    Hope someone can help me out!
    Whenever I export my Multitrack mixdowns to mp3 files, the mp3 file sounds very different than it does inside Audition and I can't figure out why. When I play the multitrack in Audition it sounds fine, but once I export the file the volume is all messed up with some tracks louder than others (I used layers) and there's also a loud hissing white noise in the background that wasn't there when I play it in Audition.
    I'm guessing it has something to do with the export settings? I've tried playing around with the settings but nothing worked. 

    Thanks for your reply. I'm using 4800Hz for sample rate and 192 for bit rates. I've tried higher quality settings but it seems to make the volumes of the tracks within the mp3 mixdown even more contrast (one track is super loud while another you can barely hear) whereas in Audition they all sound the same volume. The mp3 file volume and quality is not matching up with what I hear in Audition. The mp3 file is also not as "bass" sounding as it is in Audition.

  • Audition Multitrack Mixdown Export Issue

    Hello,
    It's my first time here and I hope I can get some help. I have a multitrack session, which I want to export to an AIF, but when I do, I end up with a file where the sound cuts out in parts, absolute silence with clicks in others, or just a wall of static at some point in the final AIF. I have what can be bussed, bussed, etc. I have tried exporting some tracks in groups, hoping to reassemble them in a new session, but even then I has the same clipping/noise/static issue. Two other songs have exported just fine (granted, they do not have as many stems). What could I do to solve this issue? Do I need a more powerful machine? I can't afford one and I need to get these sessions exported fairly urgently. Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Richie

    Hey, thank you, for the reply. I keep my sessions pretty simple; the most complicated thing is sending some tracks, like backing vox, to a mix bus. But yes, even a WAV is not happening properly.
    I did, however, come across this on a "known issues" article on the Adobe site:
    Export of mixdown when using multiple instances of Full Reverb or Reverb effects cab results in crash in low memory conditions (issue #2780894):
    Export mixdown of a session that contains multiple Reverb or Full Reverb effects applied in realtime results in Adobe Audition crashing. This issue occurs in low- or no-free memory conditions. Both Reverb and Full Reverb effects produce warning messages indicating the resource intensity of these two effects. Adobe suggests bouncing tracks containing Reverb or Full Reverb incrementally if session contains multiple clips or tracks with either of these effects applied. Conditions and results vary from system to system depending upon configuration and available and free memory as well as use of these two effects.
    Full Reverb and Reverb effects can introduce long delays resulting in changes made in the user interface not being instantly heard (issue #2808053):
    Full reverb and reverb effects (being non-real time/high process effects) use a long delay line to produce an audible effect. In extreme situations and settings, this delay can be up to 30 seconds long. Adobe Audition properly delays all audio (via Adobe Audition's built-in delay compensation) so that you hear the affected audio in proper time and context. During playback, any adjustments made to the audio are similarly delayed. Starting or stopping playback flushes the delay line buffer and any changes are audible immediately on next playback. An additional workaround can be achieved by using the new track pre-render feature on any tracks or busses using non-real time, high process effects.
    I do use Full Reverb on a few tracks. I might have to look into a way of recreating my reverbs for these, if it turns out to be the problem. I'll check this on Monday and see whether removing the Full Reverbs fixes the issue.
    What do you think?

  • 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 ??

    Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.
    Ian Turner wrote:
    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

  • Premiere CS4 and Audition / Soundbooth - Exporting Multitrack Audio

    This seems like it should be a well-discussed topic, but I cannot find any difinitive answers on the matter.
    What is the best way (if there is one at all) to export the audio portion of a video project with the intention of editing it in a proper auidio editing environment? (Assuming I do not want to bounce down to a single, stereo mix.)
    My specific issue is this:  I recorded a live concert using four cameras.  I want the final audio to be a mix of the recording from the board and the mics in the various cameras.  (The cameras offer a bit of room ambience and some crowd noise which the on-stage mics did not capture.)
    My cameras do not accept a timecode input, so a lot of time was spent syncing up the four cameras' footage.  Now I want to mix down the four cameras and the one from-the-board audio-only track.  But Premiere Pro CS4's audio editing functions are a bit ... clunky?  I do all my audio editing in Cakewalk's Sonar, but am willing to give Audition a try.  But I can't figure out how to get all my audio files into the audio editing program without having to sink some time into re-syncing them.
    Can I export as a multitrack .aiff or .wav?  Then edit that package of tracks in my DAW, then re-export / import back into premiere?  Has anyone tackled something like this before?
    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    What are your exact steps to edit in SB or AU? Do you first Rt-click on the Audio Clip and choose Edit in SoundBooth (or Audition)? Do you Render and Replace (basically what happens with the previous method), and then Open that resulting file in SB, or AU?
    From SB, or AU, how do you Save your file - exact steps please?
    Good luck,

  • Export clips separately from multitrack edit bombing Audition 2015 CC

    attaching a screencast. Everything is up to date.
    Mac
    Yosemite
    latest everything.
    This hasn't happened before.
    Any help appreciated as I have LOTS to edit/export (and before explaining how I'm going about this wrong, trust me that I've tried many options. Doing it this way (soloing tracks in Audition to edit / batch process / level) is saving hours... or would be if I could save the tracks individually once they're edited.  It's SUPPOSED to work per manuals/websites/help screens.
    In the screencast I get an error message before it bombs.
    That was new.
    Last night, when this happened several dozen times, I never got the error message. #stepintherightdirection
    Screencast of session

    The screen capture wasn't a high enough resolution where I could read the crash report.  Any chance you can send that to me?  You can find it again by opening Applications > Utilities > Console.app  then expose User Diagnostic Reports.  You should see entries for each time Audition crashed - drag one of them into an email as an attachment and send it to [email protected] and I'll take a look.
    I did just try it on my own system without any problems, and if it was working before then something else must be amiss.  The crash report may give us the right clues to start troubleshooting.

  • Best Way to Export Single Tracks in Audition

    Hello,
    What is the best way to export one single track (stereo or 5.1) from a multiple track mix in the Multitrack Editor if I want to make it mono? Is it by just muting the tracks I don´t want in the final mixdown and then selecting a mono Master in the Mixdown Options box?
    What about exporting only a few of the tracks from a multiple track mix to one mono file? Same process?
    Thanks!

    "Export all Tracks as Audio Files" found under File>Export.
    This will render audio files of your software instruments that start at bar 1, beat 1, and can be dragged right into Pro Tools. The export happens "pre-fader", so it is bounced at unity gain, and excludes any automation.
    If there is automation that needs to be included (like a filter sweep or something like that), you'll need to solo the track, and bounce it, because a bounced file does include automation.
    Also, if you're using a multi-channel instrument, you'll need to bounce those tracks separately as well.

  • Question about Export - Audio mixdown

    Ive been wondering, why is there option boxes for 32 and 16 bit? I understand dithering. But is this just to let adobe know what bit rate it is? why?
    Maybe, is it for this?? :  someone being in a hurry, for a quick mixdown for a cd-ready track they could hit 16 bit and enable dither, and youll notice  the "Dither Options" is the same dithering program inside Edit -> Convert Sample Type (F11) in multitrack view.
    And 32 bit is just to keep it good if you plan on editing it later, but i dont get this: Why adobe needs to know at mixdown, the actual waves should already be carrying the bit information, right?
    But what if the track was already dithered using Waves, Izotope or some other on the master fader for a quickfix...would leaving it at 32 be no problem? And if I put it at 16 would it try to chop it off more?
    Sorry, please someone explain.
    Adobe audition is not as simple as protools...sorry about my rant the other day, i understand i made a few mad but they probably took it the wrong way and I probably said it the wrong way, I was really looking for help. it just got me frustrated. I am an adobe auditon user too, as well.
    And just wondering, What .wav format do you guys save your Final master in?
    me, Ive been using ACM Format .WAV (16 bit 44.1 of course)
    once again, sorry

    djak24k wrote:
    Sorry, you lost me there, what do you mean by 2 16 bit files? like 2 in one session? or one on stacked on another? and run out of steam?
    Yes, two in one session. If one of them is 6dB louder (or quieter) than the other, then you'd need at least 17 bits to represent all the possible data in the output.
    And since i DJ, should I start recording in 16 bit? I have always kept 44.1 32 bit when in adobe because its the default, and mixed down, and had to master and dither in edit view in order to make it go on a cd... And the music is already mastered, but I go ahead and record in 32 bit, which i dont think would cause a problem - BUT dithering on top of dithering like i do to make it 16 again, that could be bad couldnt it?
    You shouldn't ever dither twice - you end up with twice as much added noise as you need, and it very likely won't work properly.
    Steve, whats your final 16bit-44.1 format? Ive noticed some of my cds havent been playing in 1, later on the cd players motor burnt out (impala 2004- im sure it was just getting old) and got a completely new cd player (the stock tray kind) and i still get errors, but they play everywhere else... and ive been doing ACM ever since I learned what redbook was. Well, at least in adobe.
    Ah, I meant to mention that. You shouldn't ever use ACM for anything, because it gets processed by the very dubious processing in the OS. What you should use is Windows PCM, because this is saved directly. So, the only acceptable format is 44.1k 16-bit stereo PCM wav.
    The safe way to process your audio is to do a 32-bit mixdown, and then in EV do the dither using Ozone. After that, convert the file (which is effectively a truncation) to 16-bit and do no more processing at all. The rule is "Dither Once - Dither Last". If you look in the Ozone Dithering Guide you will find more information about exactly what to do.

  • OMF Import Crashes Audition

    Could someone offer some insight with this issue, please?
    I recently final mixed a 39 part long form series.  The picture was supplied on Batacam (it is an SD show) and sync sound as an OMF.  The workflow got a bit cumbersome, so bear with me while I explain it, because of the limitation of Premiere not able to import OMF files directly.
    I used PremierePro CS6 to lay mood music tracks, as I prefer it than doing this directly in ProTools.
    To get the OMF (sync audio) into Premiere, I sent the timeline from Premiere to Audition, then imported the OMFs into Audition and sent the sequence back to Premiere.  Once the music was laid down on the timeline, I would then delete the OMF tracks and export the music tracks to OMF.
    In Protools, I would then open up the music OMF tracks, then open the original sync OMF tracks and mix out the program.
    As I said - a bit cumersome, but it worked perfectly.
    This show has now started in a new season, so I maintained the same workflow.  The issue that has occured, is that I am now not able to import the sync OMF into Audition, as it crashes half way through.  It is a hard crash, just switching Audition off, so to speak!
    I tested several of the 39 older OMF files and those that I tested, all importted perfectly into Audition.  The template used from the editor to create the OMF in an Avid setup has not been changed, so the export settings are the same as they were.  I then wondered if there was a mixed sample rate causing the issue, but all sync audio coming out of the Avid is 48K as requested.
    I know that I can send a crash log to Adobe, but I am not sure what happens if I click 'send' and if they will get back to me personally.  I doubt it!  The issue is becoming urgent, so I thought that I would ask here, in an attempt to expedite a solution.
    The OMFs that are causing the crash have been imported into ProTools without any issue, so I can't understand why Audition would have an issue.
    Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.

    Audition's OMF functionality is one of the best but there is no such thing as a standard OMF so I'm not surprised that problems arise from time to time (though hopefully rarely)
    Obviously there must be something different about that OMF
    I would be happy to check it out (in confidence of course) if that is any help to you

  • How do I transpose Apple Soundtrack Pro multitrack files into Audition format?

    I've just hopped onto the creative cloud and now need to work on files created in Soundtrack Pro. The native SP format for multitrack files is proprietary. Can Audition parse these files?

    Audition cannot parse the soundtrack file. but.... I've also been trying to figure out how to bring a multi-track Soundtrack Pro project into Audition and at this point, there are two options:
    OPTION 1
    - Open the multi-track Soundtrack project.
    - Export as AAF
    - Import AAF into Premiere.
    - Export OMF
    - Import OMF in Audition.
    I think there may be an issue with projects with more then 2 tracks... (basically defeating the whole purpose). The project looking correct but the audio files are not linked properly.
    OPTION 2
    - Open the multi-track Soundtrack project.
    - Export as aiff or wav. Select "After Export: send files to Final Cut pro sequence"
    - FCP opens and asks to be saved. Save it.
    - Export FCP project as an XML File. (Apple XML interchange Format, version 4)
    - open Audition and import XML.
    Option 2 keeps the projects track structure intact. But it does 'bake' each track together.

  • Acrobat 9 Export to Word Crashes or Corrupt

    I downloaded Acrobat 9 Pro to evaluate before upgrading from 8.1.
    If I Export a PDF to Word, it converts the doc and looks fine until I get to the last two pages of the Doc file. Then it locks up Word (every time).
    If I try to batch Export Multiple Files, it converts one or two files, then crashes Acrobat. The files it does convert are corrupted just as the ones done singly.
    About one out of three converted Word files will not open at all. I get a file corrupt error from Word.
    It seems the conversion is not finishing for some reason because all is well until the last two pages in the Word file.
    What could be causing this?

    Thanks for your reply:
    Your question prompted me to look, and I see the files were created using Jaws PDF Creator. Probably not a good thing.
    Yes, some files do contain complex tables, and some are rotated.
    I tagged one file to test and it worked pretty well. It placed everything in frames or text boxes. But I removed them and it looks pretty good.
    The only difference I see in tagged and not tagged is the tables convert better.
    All in all, it appears that Acrobat 9 does nothing more for you than Acrobat 8 did regarding file conversion to Word.
    The ultimate fix for my problem was to uninstall Acrobat 9. Now my Word files do not freeze.

  • Export to camera crashes iMovie 06

    We've been running 10.3.9 and iMovie 05 sucessfully for a while now, but after upgrading to 10.4.4, iMovie 06 and Quicktime 7 we started getting numberous problems with iMovie. I'm not sure if this is 100% iMovies fault or some combination of the upgrade. Specifically I'm seeing
    1) iMovie crashes every time we try to export to a camera. Silently with no error message -- it just goes away.
    2) When we plug new camcorders or A/D converters to the computer, we often have to reboot the whole computer to get iMovie to recognize that a camera is attached.
    3) Slick Transitions v2-3 do not work in iMovie (other volumes do)
    There are work arounds for #2 and #3, but not being able to export to the camera is a major problem. Has anyone else seen this? Is it definitely iMovie 06 (as opposed to the OS or Quicktime upgrade)?

    I had your #1 problem when I was using iMovie 5. I solved it by downloading QuickTime from the Apple website and reinstalling it. Perhps that would work with iMovie 6?

  • Export to PDF crash!

    Help!
    I'm trying to export a 15-page research paper to .pdf to send to my professor.
    Every time I try to export or print to .pdf, it crashes, the whole program closes.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks Peter and Laubender for your inputs. I'm a bit relieved that its possibly not my fault but also feeling worried that it may just be a problem with indesign which I need to resolve by looking for workarounds.
    For the sake of others, I forgot to mention the reason for the step of adding text frames for page 146. The crash only happens if the "displayed" no of rows with repeating headers has reached some "threshold/limit" that causes Indesign to crash.  I can export to PDF/IDML if I do not add the text frames for page 146 (which is why I only have a copy of the IDML with 145 pages) so that problem may be related to layouting logic for tables in Indesign when it is shown.
    A possible workaround is to remove the repeating header and create a separate text frame containing the header that will be placed above each page. Which is a hack and I've to explain to the client why we did that.
    Though I still would still like to confirm if this is a bug so that I can present that argument when I suggest this workaround to the authorities.
    Anyone here with the latest Indesign CC to test this? (we can also opt to upgrade instead if the problem is gone). Unfortunately my internet connection is slow (coming from a 3rd world country) so it would take several days to download the trial.
    Thanks
