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...

  • 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?

  • 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

    Cant find it.

    May I suggest that you read this document? It will tell you exactly what features are not currently implemented in Audition CS5.5, and may save you some time. Yes, I'm afraid that auto-tuning is in the list.

  • Open / save .mp2 files in Audition CS5.5? [Not .mp3]

    Anyone know how to open / save .mp2 files in Audition CS5.5? [Not .mp3]

    a) costly for Adobe to implement
    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.
    Wild_Duck wrote:b) they thought not many people needed it.
    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).

    I keep meaning to make a list of things that use mp2 like radio playout systems, the Nagra field recorder, DAB files and so on so as to make more of a case. Any examples of mp2 need should be flagged up to Adobe.
    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.

  • 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.
    Best
    Lucas

    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

  • Missing features in Audition CS5.5

    Ok, I have been playing around intensively with Audition CS5.5 for a few weeks now. Aside from the thing that SES to SESX import did not work natively (thanks Todd, for giving me the link, although I do think that it should have been included in the software in the first place), there are some other things that bug me.
    Here's my top 4 (in order of personal importance):
    1. GROUP CLIPS
    This feature is missing. If you're working on a mix, you need to be able to move parts quickly, not risking screwing up parts that are OK. Manually selecting all clips and then moving them is timewise not very efficient. IMHO, we really shouldn't have to wait until CS6 for this feature to return...
    2. LAYOUT
    I keep hitting the vertical zoom sign whenever I want to zoom in horizontally. I use horizontal zooming much more than vertical. Of course you can use the + or - signs on the keyboard, but I find myself hitting the on-screen button time and again. In Au 3 they were in the "correct" position. And there's no way of adjusting the workspace so that I can place the buttons where I like them to be. I am so used to this on-screen layout, that I think it will take a long time to adjust to this.
    3. CLIP TIME STRETCH
    You can't drag clips to stretch them to a desired length. You do have an improved dialog for Strecth and Pitch (which I like), but you can't do it visually on the timeline.
    4. PRE-LISTEN TRACKS
    I Au 3 you could quickly sort through multiple effect tracks by pre-listening them using Auto-play in the import dialog to find that right type of swoosh you need from your sound collection. Now you can't, or you have to rely on Adobe Bridge.
    I know that the Adobe Bug Report / Feature Request form is the best way to submit these (and I frequently use that), but I'm also curious if other sound editors deal with the same problems.

    I believe no one has responded to the original post because all of these topics have been discussed in other threads since Audition CS 5.5 was released.  We absolutely appreciate knowing which missing features are most important to our users so that we can place priority toward implementing them.  While I can't divulge what features will be in Audition CS 6 at this time, I think it's safe to say that most of these requests will be satisfied.
    Regarding the layout of the Zoom buttons, it is possible to display these buttons both within the standard Editor panel (the default view) and as a separate panel which can be positioned as you like.  Click Window > Zoom in the menu bar to open this panel.

  • How do I master a voice recording in Audition CS5?

    Hi, I want to record myself playing the guitar and singing over the top, however although I am more than capable on the guitar I can not sing for toffee. So my plan is as follows:
    Using Audition CS5 I will open a new multi-track session, I will then record the guitar part (without the singing), and then will record the vocals over the top of that.
    Once I have finished recording the vocals I will import the vocal file into melodyne and auto-tune it (if it's good enough for Britney spears it's good enough for me), once I have tuned my voice I will then re-inport the vocal file back into Audition CS5 ready for mastering.
    This is where I need help.
    What can Audition do to help me make the vocals sound as good and as proffessional as possible using different effects and so on.
    If you have ever heard of  a singer called "Jose Gonzalez" then that is the sort of vocal I am trying to achieve.
    Thanks very much for your time
    Regards
    Dan

    Steve's right - we have to be able to hear what you've done before we tell you what you need to do next.  A couple of things, though.  After you've melodyne'd the vocal (I don't think you have to do the export/import thing with the vocal, cuz Melodyne's a plugin, right?  Audition isn't listed as one of the DAWs you can use it with, but I wouldn't worry - Audition's NEVER listed with other DAWs, but it works just like the others most times.) you won't be mastering what you've got, you'll be MIXING what you've got.  What Audition can do with those two or three tracks you record will be along the lines of:
    * noise reduction on each track
    * panning
    * EQ'ing
    * compression, if needed
    * adding space (delay/reverb) if needed
    There's more, but those would be the first things you'd be looking at in most cases.

  • I have not found any answers yet to solve this problem. Smooth Scroll Auditions CS5

    I used to used Audition 3 and when recording or playing back the recorded wave form would be smooth and when it reaches the right hand edge of the screen it just smoothly continues. I have updated to Auditions CS5 and I cannot get it to do the same. It seem to jump back to leave more room instead on continually scrolling. In the preference option there is no option I can see to change this. The only option shows Playback but this seen to also just jump back to leave more room.   Any idea where the setting it so make is smooth?   Thanks in advance

    Hello Ryclark..     The playback is the same as record.  Unlike AD3, when the waveform gets to the right had side of the time line it JUMPS back to make room for the continuing recording where the recording is longer than the width of the screen.  After an online chat with Adobe support ( who do not seem to know how their software works) , in the end they said that the new feature was for the Cursor and Waveform to Jump back to leave room for the continuation of the recording....unlike AD3 which smoothly scrolled the waveform.  It is a step backwards and looks like a novice attempt...  So if anyone wants to know if there is a solution to this backward step the Answer it NO. It is a new Jumpy flow layout.    Seems like Adobe are getting like Microsoft,,,

  • Can i change language in audition cs5 or cs6?

    Hi
    can i change language in audition cs5/6 ?
    i installed cs6 with my native language
    but sometime i would like to switch in english to follow the tutorials because they are in english
    i bought a lynda dvd , it's all in english , and it's hard to follow the videos with my copy of audition in another language
    thanks

    You should be able to switch in the preferences.
    From the Library menu on Windows go to Edit >> Preferences (Lightroom >> Preferences on Mac)
    Choose the General tab, and then use the drop down list for language. Select Swedish and then click OK.
    Quit Lightroom.
    Re-start Lightroom.

  • Can the Noise Gate be adjusted in Audition CS5

    Hi All,
    Can the noise gate be adjusted in Audition CS5
    Regards
    Matt

    Ryclark is right that trial and error is needed.
    However, to answer your specific question, for most noise gate applications, you really just want the fastest attack you can get (which will be the default of 1ms), otherwise you risk clipping the start of whatever sound is "opening" the gate.
    Similarly, unless you want to add some compression as well, just leave the output gain at the default setting of zero.
    The main thing in a gate is threshold--which is very dependent on your material.  Basically, you want to set this so the wanted audio makes it through the gate but everything else is muted.  You can get a rough idea of where you want this set by looking at your waveform...but after that you'll be best off tweaking it by ear.
    Hope this helps.

  • Audition CS5.5 and Macbook pro performance

    Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum. I’ll give you a little history as to how I got here.
    Started off on CE2.0 then moved onto Audition 1.5 and now I’m on Audition 3.0
    I know Audition like the back of my hand, It suits my workflow perfectly(well almost perfectly).
    I found that I was reaching some limitations with Audition 3. A normal session for me would consist of 1 Midi track for the EZDrummer VSTi and then up to around 30 audio tracks. My genre is rock/indie/acoustic. Each track will generally have compression and reverb. My vocal track consists of Reverb, 2 compression effects(to compress and de-ess) and sometimes Antares Autotune.
    What I found was that I could tell the system was starting to giveway, I was getting pops and clicks during playback, and I would have to start freezing tracks. I found that Antares Autotune was pushing my system, along with the Guitar Suite.
    My main problems I found was comping tracks. I would need to create a new track for each vocal take, which ends up pushing the system even more.
    I decided I needed to make a change. So I started looking for alternate DAW’s which had a “take” system. I was deciding between Logic or Protools. I’ve been running a PC setup since forever, so Logic would mean I would have to buy a Mac. I choose Logic 9 as I have witnessed my friend comp vocals on it, and it looked very user friendly, So I bought myself a Macbook Pro 15” with the i7 CPU.
    So I’ve been using this setup for the last 2 months or so, and to be perfectly honest I miss Adobe Audition. Dont get me wrong, Logic is great, but it feels more like a toy compared to Audition. I feel more at home with Audition. More specifically the workflow, and the Studio Reverb plugin is the best reverb plugin I have EVER used. Not to mention the dynamics processor has great de-esser presets.
    ANYWAY.
    Its question time.
    In Audition and more specifically Audition 5.5 Is there a built in “take” system which I’m not aware about? Or do we all just create a new track for each vocal take and comp that way? I don’t mind this way of Comping vocals, the problem lies when the system starts to pop and click due to having too many tracks. This brings me to my next question.
    How is the performance of the Mac version of Audition 5.5 on a 15” i7 Macbook Pro with 4gig of ram? Unfortunately my trial period has run out, and I didn’t get much of a chance to push the system(I couldn’t open my .ses files).
    Is there a way to convert .ses to .sesx? I tried converting to .xml and it didn’t carry over the plugins.
    Can I extend my trial period of Audition 5.5 in anyway?
    I really want to give Audition another shot if I can convert to .sesx with ease and have great performance with my Macbook pro.

    Okay, I've spent some time this morning looking at Guitar Rig 5 in CS5.5 and CS6.  Guitar Rig can install a lot of flavors of audio plug-in depending on your need.  Audition only cares about the VST and Audio Unit (on Mac.)
    There was an issue we found in Audition CS5.5 where some effects don't properly report their channelization.  While not technically an Audition bug (it's part of the VST spec, I believe) we were not trapping these wayward plug-ins, which is why you saw Guitar Rig listed, but disabled.  We addressed this issue in Audition CS6 by catching plug-ins that do not respond to channel requests as expected and assigning them as appropriate.
    Guitar Rig is now enabled in Audition CS6 VST Effects List
    More importantly, Audition CS6 opens up some pretty impressive effect channelization options which allow you to route the channels of a file into an effect in any manner you like.  This allows you full control over which channel is assigned to which effect input, and which channel the output should be applied.
    Feeding a 5.1 file into a Mono effect now enables precise control over channel routing.
    Full control over 5.1 files into 5.1 effects as well.  Any combination of channelizations and effects should work well.
    Lastly, here's Guitar Rig 5 running in Audition CS6.  While it definitely works, I do not recommend modifying this particular guitar track.  Much like trying to pitch correct Freddie Mercury, Keith Richards guitar work does not benefit from additional processing

  • Audition CS5.5 crashes opening CS6 and CC sessions, but worked fine previously

    Hi Guys,
    The radio station I work at, operates 2 iMacs using Snow Leopard. One computer has Audition CS5.5 installed and the other used to have CS6 and now runs CC.
    When I first started working here, the CS5.5 machine would open CS6 sesx files without issue, but for the last few months, every session crashes the program when opening the file. Same happens with CC sesx files.
    Restrictions don't allow to have the CS5.5 machine upgraded to CC, so I don't have the opportunity to try a new version.
    I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue and was able to find a work around.
    Thanks in advance

    If you want to send me one (or two) of the sesx files which don't open in Au5.5 I will be happy to check them out and advise
    You can send them to me via the contact details on the AATranslator web site
    Edit:
    The problem is the reference to the 10 band Graphic Equalizer effect
    I removed it and all is good
    I didn’t have time to isolate it any further than that
