Mac newbie! Recording problems with Audition 2.0 in WMware Fusion 3.0

Hi --
Having been an Audition/Cool Edit fan for a decade, when I recently bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro) I bought and installed WMware Fusion 3.0 for the sole purpose of running Audition on my Mac (OS 10.6.2).
Everything installed beautifully and playback, CD extraction and the like all were working fine. There was a slight bit of latency, but I could deal with it. When it came time to record something, though, it was awful. The whole Auditon program slowed down and recording was spotty, choppy and basically unintelliglble.
I thought I hadn't allocated enough memory on my virtual machine (the default was 512Mb) so I increased it to 2GB. That didn't work.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, can you give me a tip or two on how to get the recording mechanism to work properly?
Thanks!
Andre

VMWare Fusion and Parallels are just not reliable enough for real-time recording. I highly recommend setting up a bootcamp partition and using Audition under a native Windows XP environment for recording. The virtualization systems work fine for editing, mixing, etc but are just not reliable or robust enough for real-time work, in my opinion.
I supplied a short blog post to Adobe's Inside Sound blog last year about this. It's still up at http://blogs.adobe.com/insidesound/2008/02/audition_3_on_a_mac_1.html and has generated some great comments from users and even some of the folks over at VMWare.

Steps to troubleshoot and get past common problems with Audition

When you encounter a problem with Audition, the following steps are often useful for getting past the problem and/or determining the cause of the problem:
1. Hold down SHIFT while you launch Audition
     This overrides the preference files and launches Audition using the default settings.
2. Manually rename or delete the preferences folder
     Step 1 only overrides certain preference files, while others such as Workspace preference files, may be the cause of the problem. Depending on your OS, locate the "5.0" folder in the location below and rename it or delete it.
     Windows XP: C:\Document and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0\
     Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ *
     Mac OS X: ~\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ **
          * "AppData" may be a hidden folder. You can type it into the location bar, or enable "Show Hidden Files" in Windows.
          ** This is your user-level Library folder, not the system-level tree.
3. Check your Audition Log.txt file
     To enable a log file with CS 5.5, you must create an empty file in your preferences folder called "Audition Log.txt" using notepad, text edit, or any other editor. After you create this file, launch Audition and if it fails, open and/or share the log file for more specific information about what's happening.
4. Check the Operating System console or error log
     Both OS X and Windows can track application errors, and if the problem is occurring outside of the application code - a driver conflict, for example - then the OS error report may be more informative than what we can get from the application.
     OS X: launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app   Clear the view, then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
     Windows: launch Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
5. Re-install Audition
     If at this point, nothing has resolved the issue or the error logs are inconclusive, it's a good time to uninstall Audition, reboot, and reinstall Audition.
6. Obtain the full crash dump and send it to the Adobe team
     So you've walked through all the above steps, you've disconnected any external hardware interfaces to rule out any device or driver conflicts, and you've exhausted the basic troubleshooting steps. Visit http://forums.adobe.com/thread/900619 and follow the steps for your OS that Charles has documented to best obtain a full crash memory dump for Audition, and send that to [email protected] with a description of the problem and the steps you've taken, and we'll take a look.

Firstly yes these are common problems and secondly hopefully they will be fixed with updated software 2.1 which is due for release this coming Firday!

Baffling recording problem in Audition 3.0, please help!

i have this totally silly problem with audition 3.0, which until today was working fine.
the problem is simple but infuriating. i open a session, load a music track into track 1 and attempt to record my voice on track 2.
audition records, on track 2, the output from track 1 as well!
this problem started after i installed two pieces of software on the computer: van basco's karaoke player and audacity.
i've uninstalled these two programmes, restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled audition (twice!) but nothing seems to work.
does anybody have any ideas?
thanks in advance
a late news flash. i haven't actually cracked it, but i've found a way round it that works: i add a bus track and send the output of track 1 to that bus track. that way the track 1 content doesn't get recorded on to track 2. a bit heath robinson though!

since i've now, thanks to ryclark, totally cracked this problem i think i can help!
probably you need to alter not your sound card setting but your windows mixer settings (i assume you're using windows). you can do this easily from outside audition (even with audition not open).
open the windows volume master (double click on the little speaker icon), in its control bar click "options" then select "properties". click on "recording", click on ok, then in the volume control panel that opens select only the microphone (or whatever you're using for your mike input) and disactivate everything else.
you should now be able to record in audition only what comes in through the mike.
hope this helps.

Oxc000007b problem with audition cc download-any ideas?

Hi, had the same problem when downloading Lightroom 5 from the creative cloud desktop - dll package for lightroom solved the problem here.
I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
(I uninstalled audition cc and installed it again with the same result)
Thanks for your help
Best Bee

SteveG, thanks for the link again. I tried before to extract both (msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll) to audition cc like I did with the lightroom 5 problem and I failed.
This time I only extracted msvcr100.dll to audition cc and it worked!
Thanks for your encouragement . . .

Well it's those .dlls that are the only reason that I'm aware of for this failing. Can I suggest downloading and installing them again? I presume that it's the information in this thread that you are referring to?

A possible solution to the MIDI problem with Audition 5.5

Hi, all.
In searching for other answers to my Audition 5.5 questions, I've been seeing lots of complaints on these forums about the lack of MIDI compatibility with this version. If you have an external MIDI sequencer, I offer a solution that you might find useful.
Go into Audition's Edit > Preferences and change the time display from minutes and seconds to bars and beats
Specify the time signature to the closest beat value of your song (exampe: if you're using both 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures, go with 4/4)
Set the tempo to match your song
Lay down a full length click track with at least a 4 measure click intro
Insert the same length click intro into every track (which, when working with previously sequenced tracks, is just a matter starting the machine in sequence-record mode with the metronome on, counting the appriopriate beats and turning it back off just before the song starts)
Mute all but the track you intend to record
Record each instrument track to its own file, save and open a multi-track session
Position the first beat of the click track far enough into the session to preclude needing to trim intros (you can trim the silence out with the click intro after mixdown)
Zoom in until a single click fits perfectly under the time indicator line
Drag or snap all the other tracks underneath it so that the first click of each track lines up
I use lots of instruments with slow attack (such as strings), or tracks where the instrument might only be in a few measures, so the 4+ measures of click intro are particularly useful.
Pretty low-tech, but quick and painless nonetheless. It suits my purposes, though I'd love to know if someone has a better method. Thanks for reading.

The other problem is that, even among the "music creation" market, there can be big differences in the perceived importance of MIDI.
I'm not a musician myself but have worked closely with two very different composers. One of them does practically everything in MIDI (using Sonar) then tends to hand me the files to work with in Audition (after conversion to wave format). Some tracks are left in the form they came but others are replaced with live "real" instruments.
The other person is much more traditional. He plays more instruments than I can count and I help him by recording as he lays down drums, guitars, bass, brass, etc. etc. He owns a lot of keyboards but, even with these, he sends me line out and uses the actual keyboard sounds rather than laying down MIDI data.
So, if you asked these two how important it would be to have MIDI functionality, you'd get two very different answers. From some of the recording forums I frequent, I get the impression that my friends are a microcosm of the whole market . Some use MIDI a lot while others prefer the feel and sound of recording live instruments. (And, I'm sure, others inhabit a middle ground.)
True dat. Up until about a year or so ago, I didn't use MIDI, and so Audition was for me music production software par excellence. Then about a year ago, I started getting into MIDI, and now I'm not only using MIDI for creating keyboard-based tracks for overdubs, I'm actually writing songs using MIDI (whereas before songwriting almost always involved a guitar). MIDI has become huge for me, in other words. And whether I go to sites like Studio Central and read Tweakhead's guide to homerecording in which he tells people that modern music-making either involves MIDI or is MIDI-based, or whether I read articles in Sound on Sound magazine which constantly reference MIDI in their articles, have regular features about sample librairies that use MIDI, or look at the countless ads touting MIDI keyboards and controllers, it's clear that MIDI is as much a part of modern recording as guitars and mics. Before, I never used to get what Steve was on about when he'd say that Audition isn't music production software, because I had produced five albums of stuff using either CEP or Audition. Now, I understand what he means when he says that. When he says Audition isn't a music production software, he means 'Audition doesn't have MIDI'. However, the truth of the matter is that Audition is a wonderful music production software if you don't use MIDI, and a partial music production software if you do. You know, I've tried out other softwares - Reaper, Studio One, FL Studio (ha!) - and none of them come close to Audition for me. Sure, I can get by using Reaper for MIDI, but knowing how Audition does things, I know that I'd be happier doing it inside Audition. Hence, the continued lobbying. I want the best.

Mac newbie printing problems

Hi,
As the subject line says, I'm a Mac newbie. I've been on a PC for about 10 years and just got my mac last Friday (how time flies!), so I'm obviously completely unfamiliar with Macs and how to mess with them.
In any case, I've kept my PC for a couple of programs that I'd like to use and need my printer for one of them. I have my printer connected to my iMac and I've networked the two computers to transfer files back and forth. So my question is this: How do I set up my computers so that I can print through my iMac from my PC? I don't want to have to rearrange the entire office just to use the printer.
Any help would be great.
Thank you!

Things to check -
1. Set your Mac to be in the same Workgroup as the PC. The PC's workgroup can be found by right clicking on My Computer, select tab Computer name.
On Tiger, you set the workgroup in the Utility Directory Access - I hope Kappy can tell you where to do that on Leopard.
2. Driver - once you can find the printer in the same workgroup, when you add the printer on the PC you will need to select a postscript driver - if the printer you're trying to use is postscript, fine, its driver will work. But if the printer is a typical inkjet, you need to select some other color postscript driver on the PC, because printer queues on Macs expect to receive postscript. The Apple Color LaserWriter xx driver included on my Windows XP works well.
Hope this helps.

Recording problem with SoundBlaster X

Hello everyone,
I am running a X-FI sound card which is on my motherboard (MSI P6N Platinium).
I always had MSI boards with integrated soundblaster cards, and I used to plug my guitar directly in the microphone input and record.
Since I got this new board with the X-FI card, I have latency when I play my guitar. The sound has around half a second delay before it gets to the speakers.
I never had such a problem with my other motherboards/soundblasters.
I tried with the front panel mic, and also with the back panel one. The problem with the back panel is that when I plug my guitar in, it doesn't allow me to output to the normal 5. speakers, I have just the option to should Digital output...
Does anyone have an idea on something I should look for in the setup?
I am running a:
Intel Dual Core 6600
MSI P6N Platinium with integrated SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Audio
2GB Geil sync RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX 768Mb Video Ram
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Hmm.. IIRC, X-Fi Xtreme Audio?doesn't have nati've ASIO?drivers so, if you like to?use lower latency (less delayed), you'll need to either?- install asio4all dri've and use asio compatible software for to input the signal?or?- use WDM/KS capable software for to input the signal?ASIO4ALL driver http://www.asio4all.com?ASIO capable Host? software:VSTHost - http://www.hermannseib.com/english/default.htm?(you need to add least one effect plugin to get signal out ... effevts can be found from KVR http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php)?Reaper?- http://www.cockos.com/reaper/?(support for WDM/KS and ASIO, use WDM/KS with settings 4 buffers x?256 - 52 samples)?jutapa

Recording Problems with GarageBand

My micophone makes bad noise only in GarageBand while recording. The record sounds bad, too. It crackles very loudly. That's a new situation for me. Until now everything works nice. There are no problems with other programms. I use a USB Audio Interface Line6 TonePort UX1 with an AKG C1000S microphone. Can you help me please. Thanks a lot. Sorry for my bad english.

I'm having a weird audio sync issue as well with GB '08 that I never had with previous versions.
Basically, audio tracks gradually drift forward in time as the song progresses. They drift almost a full bar ahead of where they should be after about a minute into the song.
When I watch the wave form in the editor as I'm recording everything looks correct, but after stopping and playing back a process runs and then the sync is completetly screwed up.
I've tested every hardware variable I can think of -- external FW drive vs. internal drive, external hardware (Digi 002r) vs. built-in audio. I even tried 16 bit vs. 24 bit recording and I continue to have the same problem everytime.
Again, I had no issues with the exact same hardware and previous versions of GB, which leads me to believe that the problem is software related. I'm wondering if all of these new features come at the expense of memory and/or resource issues.
Anyone else experience this or know what the fix is?

Problem with auditioning samples in Ultrabeat?

Im having some trouble with auditioning drum hits in Ultrabeat. When I go to listen a sample, the sample plays but all i can hear is a high pitched squeak instead of the drum hit I want to audition. Can anyone explain this?

Hi,
Ultrabeat is not so much a sample player, but more a synthesizer. Your squeek probably has to do with the synth parameters of that sound in UB.
This guy (David Earl aka SFLogicNinja) explains it well:

I have an iPad 2 v6.1.3 that has a problem with connecting to wi-fi. My other I macs have no problem with connecting. The pad keeps coming up with unable to join the network. Nothing has changed with passwords--it just refuses to join my secure network.

My other Imacs and my wife's Ipad 3 have no problem with conneccting. My Ipad keeps coming up with unable to join the network. Nothing has changed with passwords--it just refuses to join my secure network. A couple minutes ago, it connected for 10 seconds, then dropped the connection. Is there a way to reconfigure the Ipad to fix this major problem, as we dropped our carrier (saved a bunch of money) and just went wifi.
Thanks so much for any help with resolving my connection problem.

Newbie : memory problem with file uploading

Hello
I'm exdending a web app based on jsf and , being new to it and java in general, i'm having a problem with file uploading.
The customer needs to upload large file (more than 30 MB). The application accomplish this using a fileupload component, to let the user select the file, and passing the array of bytes to a web service method.
I'm using netbeans 6, tomcat 5.5.
When i try to upload a file too large i got an outofmemory on the local tomcat. So i've rised jvm memory and going on with tests i've found that growing the size i got an http 500 error from the service (the developer of the service has found an out of memory too ).
I think the service is not modifiable, so i were asking if threre were a way to optimize the file uploading process (a component, a library, a pattern ...) or my only chioice is to rise available memory on both sides.
I've notice the wsdl declares as base64binary type the data parameter , while netbeans 6 generates a client proxy with a byte[] parameter. Is correct or is a netbeans problem?
searching with google i've found few thing i haven't fully understood due to my lack of experience:
the mtom , how can evaluate if it's suitable to help in my problem (i suppose it involves more the web service rather than the client)
something about the size of a soap body.
thank you in advance
Stefano

Which component exactly are you using? Declaring the stream as a raw byte[] is certainly not efficient. Write code yourself, don't let it autogenerate.
I can highly recommend you the Tomahawk t:inputFileUpload component. It is easy to integrate in Mojarra. You can find here an useful article: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/02/uploading-files-with-jsf.html].

Recording problems with condenser mics

ok, i have a CAD GXL 2400 condenser large diaphragm mic and a fast track pro liking into my grageband. I am having major major volume problems, where no matter what combinations i use between the gain of the microphone and the levels of my instruments in grageband, theres always some problem with the volume. usually its that my voice becomes so backround to the instruments that its not driving the melody that it should, and also, with me making the gain higher to try to get more volume, the mic will pick up too much of my voice and it will just sound more like static. if i finally get my voice to be heard how i would want it to be, all my instruments are turned down so low (normally lower than -15) that the song really has no power behind it. what should i do?

no normally the clip light doesnt come on, ive talked with people from multiple tech supports, such as sweetwater, and their advice was to sing into the mic and get the gain to where the clip was coming on with my voice, then turn the gain just barely below that to get the best sound. it did help, but not enough to fix my problem.

Problems with Audition 3.01

I just upgraded to Audition 3 from Audition 1. So far I have had just problems:
1) I have to activate Audition every day. That is - not every time I start it, but every day.
2) I have set the program to auto-scroll during playback and recording. It doesn't scroll during recording, and often not during playback. It is also reacting a bit slow. The playback cursor often stops, or disappears after a few seconds.
3) Playback or recording stops if I click on a background program, like the mixer.
4) The program crashes every time if I try to use the noise reduction effect. After capturing the noise profile the program crash almost immediately, every time.
I hope someone can help me sort this out. My system is:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core processor 3800+ 2.01 GHz, 2 GB RAM. Windows XP Professional with service pack 3. I have optimized the machine according to the tips found on the Adobe site. I have installed the 3.01 patch.

Hi,
For the auto-scroll and other display issues, AMD released a CPU optimizer update that may help address some of these issues. It's available at: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dynamicDetails.aspx?ListID=c5cd2c08-1432-4756-aafa-4d9dc64 6342f&ItemID=153
That doesn't matter much, however, if you have to activate every day and if it crashes when using noise reduction. Activation resets each DAY? That's a new one. Are you running any sort of daily task that backs up or restores your hard drive or registry? I imagine it's unlikely that the licensing is actually de-activating or you would quickly run into the activation limits, but perhaps there is a bit or registry entry somewhere that is getting reset that makes the application believe it need to activate when the relevant activation data is already in place.
If you're comfortable using Windows Registry Editor, could you launch it via Start > Run > regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{53C141BA-4F9E-43F B-B4F9-0c01BB716FA8} Then click File > Export and save that block to a file and send it to me at [email protected]
If you could also launch Audition, click Help > About Adobe Audition > System Info and attach the info.txt file it creates, it might give me more information to determine the nature of what's wrong.
As for the Noise Reduction crash, does it only happen when capturing a profile? If you just run Noise Reduction without capturing a profile, do you see a crash? Do you see crashes with any other effects in this manner?
Thanks,
Durin

Mac calendar syncing problem with exchange server

Hi, I have been having problems syncing the calendar on my MacPro (late 2013, with OX Y Yosemite, even the earlier operating system) with my work calendar (exchange server). It keeps giving an exclamation mark and the error message is "There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server.".
Mail syncing on Mac with the same exchange server is working perfectly.
I also have iPhone and iPad, and never had issues syncing calendar nor with Mails.
I have tried to create a separate log in profile on my mac and attempt to sync calendar, it makes no difference.
Any advice?
Thanks Shu

There are several ways of exchange server recovery.
Reset the computer account for the lost server.
Install the proper operating system and name the new server with the same name as the lost server. Recovery won't succeed if the server on which recovery is being performed doesn't
have the same name as the lost server.
Or try FREE DEMO of
Recovery Toolbox for Exchange Server http://www.exchangeserver.recoverytoolbox.com

Recording problems with G570

Hi everyone
I bought a Lenovo G570 last week and am very pleased with it, but it has a problem when recording sound from the microphone-in socket. The problem is that sound recorded from the socket (the only external line input on the computer) records fine for the first few seconds, but after that (the time varies) it becomes distorted, like it has been very heavily compressed. I'm using the socket as a line-in to record from a radio's line-out socket.
The audio levels are fine according to the meters in the sound properties box and the recording software - I've tried using the latest versions of Total Recorder (and a variety of it's drivers) and Audacity with the same result.
Recording streaming radio stations is fine though.
Shame I can't attach a sound sample here.
I spent the first 2 days after buying the laptop downloading all the Windows 7 updates so as far as I know all's up to date.
Any ideas? I don't want to have to return it for a refund, but this is a real problem for me :-(
Thanks

hey valveradio,
could you try uninstalling the current audio driver for your unit. Let windows install its own generic driver and then test it out using Sound Recorder (the built-in recording app from windows)
