Slow Playback Adobe Audition CS5.5 - not sample rate setting error!

I'm currently using Windows 7 and Adobe Audition CS5.5 build 1815. Soundcard is RME Digi96 Pad. Ok its an old card and the drivers date from 2005. In Adobe 3.1 and CS5.5  I get slow, around half speed, playback at 44k and 96k sample rates. YES the project sample rates and sound card sample rates are set correctly, clock is set to master on the soundcard.
However, in using Cockos Reaper 3 or 4 on exactly the same computer, same soundcard, same OS, I can play 44k and 96k wav files perfectly.
This suggests to me there is an error in the way Adobe Audition 3 / CS5.5 is handling the ASIO drivers in Windows 7 with some soundcards.
If it was a driver problem, or indeed a soundcard hardware issue, then Reaper would not perform properly.
So what's going on with the ASIO drivers in Adobe Audition with Windows 7?

I have two XLR wireless mics, which are great for my video work, but I need to do audio recordings for podcasts and wanted a mic that would be able to do just audio podcasts, as well as video podcasts, live via my laptop. So while I do agree that the audio recording from my XLR mics is great, I am not happy with the audio quality of standard computer mics I've tried and the only way I can get my XLR mics into the computer directly is through a USB connector (which I also have, I'm getting the Yeti set-up for my business partner to use).
Maybe Audition just isn't the best software option for this, but since we have CS6 Premium I had hoped I could utilize software I already had. (And for the live video casts I'm looking at starting out with Google hangouts...)
With that being said, I appreciate your reply and thought I had already set-up the hardware correctly in Windows & Audition. Here is a screenshot that shows the settings I have - my question at this point is whether the master clock needs to be changed (the audio channel mapping tab shows the left and right speaker of the default Realtek speaker):
I just double checked the properties of both the speakers and mic and they are both set to 48,000/16/stereo, as is the audio file in Audition.
I'm a journalist, not an audio pro, and I fully accept that the sound device must not be properly connected. The problem is that I cannot figure out why that is the case.
Since I need to use the USB mic and I want to be able to use the power of Audition to put together podcasts, using other software for the livecasts, I would really like to sort through this. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

  • 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.

    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.

  • Adobe Audition CS5.5 Upsell from Soundbooth...?

    Please, excuse any apparent ignorance on my part, but I've learned the hard way not to assume anything.
    "Adobe Audition CS5.5 Upsell from Soundbooth" is $99. Am I to understand that if I own Soundbooth CS5, I can buy the "upsell" of Audtion for $99. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
    TIA!

    Hi Jay,
    Yes.  If you have a license for Soundbooth CS5, you can upgrade/crossgrade to Audition CS5.5 for $99.  The Adobe.com FAQ for Audition goes into more detail, but the general upgrade path goes like this:
    Audition 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 - > Audition CS 5.5
    Soundbooth CS3, CS4, CS5 -> Audition CS 5.5
    Production Premium & Master Collection CS 3, CS 4, CS 5 - > Production Premium & Master Collection CS 5.5
    At least for the single products, you can cross request a license from Mac even if your old installation was for Windows.  I am not certain about the suites, but I'll look into it or you could call the Sales line directly as they may be easier to convince than a heartless, emotionless web page.

  • Frequency Analysis on Adobe Audition CS5.5 for bioacoustics research

    Hi everyone,
    In need of some help.
    I research whale/dolphin sounds, and have previously used Raven Pro for analysis. Ive found Adobe Audition produces a much better spectrogram (think it must be the FFT algorithm) and allows me to visualize a lot of whale calls that I may have missed previously by visual inspection on other software.
    I need to measure these calls. Basically I need the duration (seconds), minimum frequency (kHz), maximum frequency (kHz) etc.
    I have played around with the Frequency Analysis tool in Adobe Audition, and this cannot compute these figures for me at all. In Raven, it was extremely user friendly, and all you had to do was highlight the call by moving your cursor over and selecting the call, and in the left hand window, it would tell you the min F and max F and duration for that swatch that you had highlighted. Is there any way of doing this in Adobe? I know you can visually see on the right hand side the Frequency axis- but it doesn't give you the exact frequency i.e. I need it to be to 2 decimal places eg. 2.12 kHz minimum etc.
    I have inserted a screen grab of what I mean when you "highlight the call".
    Is there any way of doing this? I would be incredibly surprized if Adobe Audition does not have the ability to do so. But I have read through the manual and gone through a lot of threads and just can't find any information on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
    Thankyou so much in advance
    Bec.
    p.s. Whilst Im asking, is there anyway to change the time format in the "Selection/View" box? Ive seen you can display it many many ways, but I need it in seconds, and the most sensible time format is mm:ss.ddd. Is there anyway I can change it to just ss:ss? There are a bunch of options for frame times, but nothing else for actual time.

    When you highlight a section, in the bottom right corner of the screen you'll find the timing section, and in there the box marked 'duration' will show you exactly how much time you've highlighted. In Frequency Analysis, the way to note highest and lowest frequencies is, unfortunately, manual and involves finding them with the cursor and noting the cursor information (under the display). If you open the advanced window, you'll get more information, including the level of the frequency at the cursor position. Also there's a bug in the display (or more to the point, the way it's calculated) which means that if you highlight just one section in the spectral view, this isn't what the Frequency Analysis display shows - I'm reporting that one.

    No I'm afraid there isn't. I did try a cheat to see if I could at least get the timeline to do this, but that won't work either. Yes I think it should be there as an option too...

  • How is Core Audio sample rate set?

    When I play a particular movie in QuickTime, the audio and video are out of sync. The movie plays fine on other computers.
    This Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8) is used exclusively for Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro. The audio hardware is a Pro Tools HD Native card:
    Native card --> Pro Tools Digital I/O boxes --> Lavry D/A converters --> monitors
    The sample rate of the Digital I/O boxes is set by an external master clock, a Lavry Gold A/D converter.
    I opened the DigiDesign Core Audio Manager and it says:
    Connected @ 44.1K, 32 In/32 Out, Buffer Size 512
    Yet the movie is at 48K (I know because I created it in Final Cut Pro), and the external clock is set at 48K. So, I don't know where the 41K in the Digidesign Core Audio Manager came from. This is why I am guessing the problem is sample rate.
    Please help me understand what sets the sample rate.
    Does the application using Core Audio set it?
    If so, how is this made consistent with the sample rate set for the hardware by the external master clock?
    Do I have to be sure I always change the external clock setting to be consistent with the movie being played?
    BTW, I have not had a sync problem when I play video in Final Cut Pro..........it is always in sync. So, I have never worried about how Core Audio works. The sync problem is only with QuickTime.

    You might ask on the GarageBand, Logic or Final Cut forums. There is not much audio traffic here.

  • Adobe Audition does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key.

    Adobe Audition CC does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key. It is after use audio hardware usb wi-fi headphone and return to build-it out. The program don't react now.
    I see problem:
    I am unable to get playback at all in CS6 on Mac. The play button or spacebar will not move the playhead or make sound come out of the foamy things with the magnets. The play button toggles back and forth between green and white, but it isn't working. This is true in both multi track and waveform view.
    Anyone have ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks!
    Some Info:
    MacBook Pro 2.2 i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
    Mac OS 10.8.3
    Audition CS6 5.0.2 Build 5
    and reply:
    Best bet would be to go into Preferences > Audio Hardware, verify your input and output devices are correct, and probably switch your Master Clock to the opposite setting.  If that fails, we can continue troubleshooting.
    I have the same problem as the author writes. But these actions do not help

    Unfortunately I believe that requires purchasing the new version, and I do
    not have budget approval for such a purchase.

  • Importing WAV into Adobe Audition Cs5.5 and pitch/speed increases. please help.

    Hi guys,
    You have been a real help in the past so i'm hoping you can be again.
    I am importing a largish WAV file into audition from a soundcloud download and each time the pitch is very high and the speed has increased.
    I dont know why this is happening and I have never encountered this problem before.
    File is fine and plays ok outside audition.
    Are you help me fix this issue as it is quite urgent..?
    Thanks very much,
    Dave.

    without knowing for sure why you got the problem, it's not possible to give salient advice.
    yes, adobe, audacity, switch, iTunes will all do the conversion for you.
    you could also use audacity to export as an mp3 too, as well as edit it.
    ideally, sample rates should change rarely, i.e. you should work at the rate of the file, where possible.
    but it seems you were using mixed sample rates and the DAW you used had issues with the differences.
    for quick conversions use iTunes, change the cd import settings to what you want, and you can convert selected audio files to that cd import setting.
    XLD is highly thought of, does a similar thing.
    BTW, you rightly surmise that Audition should be powerful enough, i don't know it but it surely can do all the things you are asking... look for import or convert in the menu

  • Audition 3 seeing a different sample rate setting than what the device shows

    Hi,
    I have just installed Adobe Audition 3, along with the 3.01 patch, on a brand new system running Windows 7 64 bit. The mother board is an Asus Sabertooth X58 using Realtek High Definition Audio. The device drivers show that the audio sampling rate for line input is set to 24 bit 192K. I wanted to set it to the maximum that the sound card would allow to test performance and audio quality.
    The problem is when I bring up Audition 3 and hit record, I get the message "We do not support recording when your file does not match your hardware sample rate. Your current hardware sample rate is 44100Hz". Clearly this is not the case since the Line In Properties - Advanced tab is displaying "2 channel, 24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality).
    Under Audition's Audio Hardware Setup it shows only one choice for Audio Driver: Audition 3.0 Windows Sound. It also displays Sample Rate: 44100Hz, Clock Source: Internal, Buffer Size: 2048 samples with no way to change these values.
    If I click on the Control Panel button I get:
    DirectSound Input Ports:
    Device Name: Line In (High Definition Audio Device
    Audio Channels: 2
    Bits per Sample: 16
    Anyone know of how I can change these settings to get Audition to agree with the device settings?
    Thanks
    Dale

    DaleChamberlain wrote: Anyone know of how I can change these settings to get Audition to agree with the device settings?
    I'm afraid that life is nowhere near that simple. The main issue here is that Audition, in common with most audio software, uses a driver system called ASIO to talk to the sound device - this cuts out a lot of the OS and reduces the latency of the system considerably. There are several problems with ASIO though - the first being that it only supports a single device per system (or sometimes multiple identical devices if the manufacturer can make them look like a single device), and with software designed to use this driver, then to use any other driver (like a native Windows one) you have to use a converter stage like ASIO4ALL. This will convert the ASIO streams to WDM, and let you use multiple sound devices - but with increased latency.
    It's the second problem that's really going to stuff you though - and that is that quite reasonably, ASIO is limited by its inventors to run only at three sample rates; 44.1k, 48k and 96k. So there's no way you can run at what you think might be a higher quality setting. All settings above even 48k are making your sound device work much harder, and for what? All that happens is that you increase the potential frequency response to way beyond the human hearing range - to no purpose at all. You don't have sources that can produce useful output at these frequencies, and you certainly don't have the means to reproduce them. This has all been well documented and explained before, so I'm not going over all that again. In a nutshell, Nyquist points out that any digital sampling device has a frequency response limited to a maximum of half of the sample rate, so for 48k that gives us a frequency response up to 24kHz - comfortably higher than any adult can hear by quite a long way. Anything you sample and record beyond this by using even 96k is nothing but noise as far as humans are concerned, and unpercievable noise at that.
    So what the line input properties tab is saying is, if you have a non-ASIO driver designed to support all potential rates, possible. You don't have an ASIO driver available, because it's a built-in sound device, and anyway you've already pointed out that it's using the Audition Windows driver (a cut-down version of ASIO4ALL, effectively), so a conversion is already taking place. What Realtek refer to as 'High Definition Audio' is no such thing - all on-board sound devices of this nature are of universally low quality, and to improve this you'd need an external device - of which there are many available, usually with dedicated ASIO drivers. But none of them will work with ASIO beyond 96k, simply because the standard doesn't support any higher rates.
    If you download and use ASIO4ALL (it's free), then you will get an additional control panel which will show you exactly what your sound device is capable of doing as far as Audition or any other ASIO software is concerned, and this is a useful diagnostic tool anyway, so it's worth doing. You just select this option when installed, instead of the Audition Windows Driver.
    I'm sorry to be the bearer of what seems like bad news, but actually, it isn't. You will percieve no quality difference at all running at anything beyond 48k sample rates; all you will be doing is wasting your computer's resources unnecessarily. You waste both processing resources and hard drive space by processing at ridiculously high sample rates, and there are zero returns.

Maybe you are looking for
