Adobe Audition Eq

[Kristeen Cheek]

Lastnight I got about half way through recording my song. When I woke up this morning to finish it, I found that the red record button and the arm track button on the audio track were both faded out and I was unable to press them. Even after messing around with the audio hardware for about an hour, switching the input back and forth from the built in input to the usb mic I have did nothing. I was told that if i rename the adobe 4.0 folder it would reset the settings; I did that to no success. How can I finish my song?? Very frusturating, please help.

If the transport control is greyed out, it means that whatever you are using as an audio device isn't connected to Audition any more. If it records in waveform and not multitrack, then check the hardware multitrack settings and make sure that they are the same as the waveform ones as far as the device is concerned.

Both the "R" and the "I" are faded out on the audio track and i am unable to arm it, is this the transport control? I understand what you are saying, but how exactly do I make sure the audio settings are the same for both the multi track and the wave form? When I go to preferences>audio hardware the settings are the same no matter if I have waveform selected or Multitrack selected. Is there another page of settings that I should modify?

I'm almost certain that what you've done is to corrupt (somehow...) the session file for the multitrack recording that you were doing. This is quite capable of preventing you from recording any more!

Usually the easiest solution is to delete the .sesx file associated with the wav files you've recorded. This will leave you with your recorded files intact, and all you have to do is to import them into a new session, and save that. Since you are still at the recording stage, you won't really lose anything much by doing this, and it will certainly save you having to re-record anything.

Before deleting the old .sesx file (an unnecessary step as the clips can be dragged into a new session from the Files panel) I would first suggest checking the Input dropdown in the track panel controls. It sounds like the session file is looking for a default device or input channels that are no longer available.

You can see in that image that I've clicked the input dropdown and it currently shows that I have no input channel selected. This is because the default device (Default Stereo Input) I used when I created the session is no longer available. I can click the Stereo option and choose a valid input channel.

Changing your default device preference in Audition doesn't modify this setting for existing tracks in existing sessions. You can verify this behavior by creating a new track in your existing session and seeing if you're able to record to it. If so, setting your existing tracks to the correct input and saving the session should prevent additional problems.

What makes me suspicious in this case though is that presumably, the original session would have had the correct device selected to record from, and starting a new session, which presumably uses the same device, works.

Hi, Can you please be more specific on what you did... what directory exactly did you change and how since you cant open adobe audition in the first place, im having the same problem everytime i try to open adobe audition i get a runtime error and it wont open, this accured because it was working 10 minutes ago and now it wont work at all thanks

He can't be any more specific that telling you the exact path - which he has stated above. And you don't need to be able to open Audition to do this. If you are having difficulties though, it may well be because this file path is hidden by Windows - you will have to make it visible to find it. Because it's W7 you'll need somebody who actually uses it (I don't) to give you specific steps to do this.

I Have windows xp and i dont understand what he changed basically what path did he change? the actually file im not sure exactly what he is talking about... when i try to open my adobe audition i get a runtime error and it wont open it usally gets the error when the sessions files are trying to load can anyone tell me where the temp folder is for the saved music archive thanks

alright thanks i got it working basically just went into that folder(C:\Documents and settings\yourusername\Application Data\Adobe\Audition) and deleted everything that was in it and it started working again

Hey bro I followed everything you said. When I got to the path you put I do not know what to do after that. this is all gray area to me. Please tell me like a 3rd grader what to do after u follow the link. What exactly do I rename? the audition folder? what? please advise.

If you're talking about the FAQ link and just making a backup, then you make a new folder in another location with a different name, and copy the files from the working folder into it. If you delete all the files in the original folder - the one Audition is actually using - then it will recreate them all as a vanilla set.

I've just run into this problem after buying a new computer. Dell gives out a free year of McAfee with every new purchase. I've been using an older Dell for awhile with Adobe Production Premium with AVG and never had this problem. I reloaded multiple times as have many other users here and to no avail. I decided after reading a post from another user about how his McAfee just updated and then his problem arose and decided to remove McAfee completely from my machine and presto, it works great now. Switch out your McAfee for AVG and the problem will disappear. Clearly there's an invasive file that takes over that particular .DLL when running McAfee's software but not with AVG. I hope this helps.

Summary: Audition is frequently and randomly crashing. I'm working on a podcast which uses a lot of movie clips and a few different interview tracks. A lot of the video files are mp4s, but they seem to be generating new wav files fine. My Conformed Files folder is huge. It was working fine for about a month and then it started to crash on me. Now it's happening all the time and I can't figure out why!

I've reached out to Adobe support twice: once through chat and one phone call. Nothing has worked. So far I have done all of the following trouble shooting steps: reset preferences, trashed preferences, restarted machine, updated OS, updated audition, uninstalled/re-installed audition, cleaned media cache, different external hardrives, and tried on a different computer and a different user and still crashing.

I'm trying to follow the directions in that thread. But I'm using Windows 10 in June of 2020 and those directions and pictures are all from whatever version of Windows was around in 2011. Is there anything more recent than 9 years ago?

No one should have to go through all this BS, your product should just work. What if you were to buy a banana at my store and you could only get it peeled halfway, but bananas from all other stores peeled perfectly? So you come back to me and I give you a bunch of time-consuming crap with 10 steps to do to get the banana to peel. Would you continue buying bananas from me? The product is garbage until it is guaranteed to work properly for your paying customers.

I'm also experiencing very similar issues with Audition - crashing my iMac to a total restart while I'm editing a podcast. Usually happens after I'm about 80% done with the edits - things start to get quite clunky. The files work fine on a separate computer (they are on an external drive). I'm banging my head against the wall. Any updates on your situation would be appreciated!

Same problems here. This is the only software that crashes on my Win 11 high end system. The submitting of data does no good (years ago and still nothing) and we're left hanging (indeed intended) by Abobe

On Friday, I updated my Nvidia card with the latest drivers. I also used shadowplay for the first time. I think this is what might have caused the problem (audition was fine before). I thought it was maybe because shadowplay was accessing the mic, but even when I deactivate the mic in shaowplay, audition still won't start.

You could try launching Audition with the Shift key held down. This will reset all Audition's settings to the default. But you may lose any custom settings that you may have made to Audition over the years. Otherwise try Restoring Windows to a point before the updates to see if everything works OK then.

Turns out the program gives that error message and hangs because it does not have permission to access certain files/directories. Don't know how it lost those permissions from one day to the next but it did. The support person changed the permissions on those files. All is now well, it seems. In the alternate, I could have just run it as admin each time I wanted to load it.

i was working on a large session that included mp3 and wav files from many different sessions. i had been anxious to save such a large session because of lack of disk space (whether that makes sense or not unsure, happy to admit that was a stupid mistake), regardless when i would end task and then reopen audition at any later date i would always just get the pop up that "a previous session of adobe audition quit unexpectedly. you make continue the session delete it or continue ..etc" i would then restart my project right from where i left off.

You have to open the session from where you saved it. Chances are that this will show up in the 'Open Recent' list, so should be easy to locate. You can't include MP3 files directly in a session; all the files have to be opened in the session format, so they will have been converted, and you should have been given a prompt to save them - if you didn't do this, then I'm not totally surprised that you got the 'quit unexpectedly' message.

In Multi-track, temp files don't exist as such - those are only created in Waveform view to enable the undo function, and as a recording buffer. All files in Multi-track are written directly to disk, but if you've inserted MP3 files and not saved them, then they'd be in some sort of temp buffer - but not in any way they could be retrieved.
