adobe audition on a windows 7 cpu...
- Thread starter hsawartet
- Start date
I'm not sure that AA 1.5 will play nice with a 64 bit system. What sound card are you using? Is it 64 bit compatable? I just went thru that with my new laptop, and I ended up getting the focusrite USB interface that has a 64 bit driver. AA 3.0 does work fine in a 64 bit environment..just don't really know if 1.5 will behave.
If you're using the "upgrade" version of 1.5 it can't be installed on a 64 bit system. The "upgrade" version can only be installed after the previous versions are installed, and the previous versions will not install on my 64-bit Win 7 desktop. I'm temporarily using Audacity (ugh!) or an older laptop until I can afford to buy AA 3.0.
Up until this week, this conversation was outside of my primary interests.
Then my computer DIED! Dead. Expired. Kaput.
Bought a new machine with WINDOWS 7. What a learning trip this week has been.
Yesterday, Installed my Audition 2.0 and since then I have been beating the seach egines to death. I first want to get it working with the onboard soundcard... if possible... and then install my M-Audio and that that working.
Audition says: I DON'T A RECORDING INPUT DEVICE. In Windows 7 there is apparently NO "Recorder Volume Control" so there is no driver that Audition can grab onto. There is only a "Output Volume Control". I finally got them to talk to each other and Audition will now playback sound through the onboard sound card.
I guess tomorrow I will jump to the next step and install my M-audio and see if it will play nice with Audition and Windows 7.
I tracked down conversation on the Internet over the last year or so. Microsoft and Adobe both seem to be standing around rolling their eyes and studying he ceiling light fixtures while saying: "Problem? What problem? We don't see any problem."
Some folks are reporting failure as in "No Joy", no satisfaction, while others, including some of you, say it is working fine.
Any specific fixes that anyone implemented but hasn't shared with us?

Had a problem with a new PC with Windows 7 and AA. There were no inputs showing, only playback. Go into control panel and audio devices. There's a drop down menu, click on show enabled input devices, then set it as your default device. Next go into AA and do the same. Worked for me..
This is one of the problems of dealing with Windows. Depending on what devices the manufacturer has installed, the "look and feel" of Windows changes.
On my computer, when I go into CONTROL PANEL, audio devices is NOT one of the available choices. I have to go into HARDWARE AND SOUND. There are NO drop down menus. In HARDWARE AND SOUND, there is a choice for SOUND but it brings up a Window designed by Realtek and it has no drop down menus. And it allows me no opportunity to address the issues we are discussing.
I will drop in the M-audio card and load the drivers after while and see what that does. In the store you have to sometimes select a computer that has no working models on display, and what is on display is often secured to the point that a user cannot explore these kinds of issues before purchase. If I can explore it, I can screw it up... thus the stores lock them down and what you pull out of the box when you get home is a big, big surprise.

Progress Report: My computer died about a week ago. Bought a Gateway with Intel i3 chip. I finally got "over the hump" today on installing much of the software I had on the previous machine which apparently had congestive heart-failure of the processor chip. I have been using WIN XP for a long, long time and this transition to Windows 7 has been awkward and trying!!!! 
I gave up on EVER getting the on-board sound card to shake hands and make nice with Adobe Audition 2.0
Today I dropped my M-Audio 2496 card in the machine and things are working smoothly.
Yes, VODood, I also get the color scheme error but I can live with that.
Other than Microsoft Office, EVERY program I own is just old enough to get shoved over into the (x86) Program Files, and when I run them I get this pop-up which asks if I am willing to allow this program to change files on my computer? Does anyone have a method of telling the computer to stop that already! Maybe going into the icon and adding a suffix on the load command ( maybe something like /allowfilechanges )
One last question: I had a lot of FAVORITES (presets?) set up on Audition on the old machine. Where are those stored? In the old days a lot of programs had an .ini file for stuff like that. I have poked around the old hard drive and do not see any files to look like candidates. Are these presents like parametric equalizers etc. stored in the REGISTRY? If so, it is probably much easier to just re-invent them all. Editing the REGISTRY is not one of my rainy day hobbies. ;D
RANT: I dislike programs that do not give me choices on where to store files and I am one of the guys with a weird sense setting up my own file folder system much like a woman with a shoe fetish setting up the storage racks in her walk-in closet. Me and Windows 7 are in a big pissing match over this style of mine.

Just be thankful you skipped Vista!
I've got to find someone who has the MAC/Pro Tools setup who will let me play with it; show me how it works. While sitting here muttering to my dead computer the other day, I actually asked myselfl... should I consider switching to MAC?
Here is why not. I've worked with PCs exclusively now for over 25 years. I already own a collection of PC software... some of it getting a little long of tooth, but I am guessing it would cost me $7,000 to $10,000 to buy a MAC and replace all my software.
I'm a programmer. I used to do what I think we called "bit fiddling" to get the serial port to do things NO ONE was selling a program to do. (Interface with a mainframe in 1986 that had been bastardized by the software people.) I don't do much of that anymore, but there is always day after tomorrow.
If I were running a cash producing voice over business it would make sense to buy a minimum MAC and Pro Tools and keep a PC in the corner as a "sparring partner" for mental exercise. I voice some stuff, but my week-in week-out sound editing is sermons for a church along with funerals and weddings. Lectures. Special events. I started on Cool Edit 96 so working with Audition has the same "look and feel" so I can smooth out noises between syllables in my sleep by now. I'm not sure I've got another 15 years left to get that cozy with Pro Tools. ;D
But the idea kind of gnaws at me.

My copy of 1.5 was not purchased as a stand-alone program, but was purchased as an upgrade of 1.0, which in turn had been purchased as an upgrade of CoolEdit. Upgrading Adobe programs is quite a bit cheaper than purchasing the full new version. Installation on a new computer requires that one first install CoolEdit, then AA 1.0, then AA 1.5. If you try to install 1.5 without installing the previous versions first, you will get an error message telling you that you cannot install it without them.
I am stymied on a 64-bit Win 7 box because I cannot install CoolEdit. Therefore installing the upgrades is impossible.
Which version of CoolEdit can you not install? I just now reached over into the drive rescued from my machine that died last week and pulled out my CoolEdit2000 and loaded it and made a short recording with it. It is not behaving well (doesn't show recording progress on screen). Maybe CoolEdit Pro will not install but 2K installed quite well. (It was like running into an old high school friend on the street you haven't seen in years.)
BACK TO A QUESTION I ASKED EARLIER:
I read up on this "Allow File Changes by this Program?" message box that comes up every time I try to run a program designed in the era of Win XP. I had clicked on the Change Setting link before and there is this sliding bar of permission sensitivitry. The verbiage had scared me to death! But after going to the Microsoft Website and reading a Knowledge Base entry and some Forum discussion, I came to the conclusion that giving full, flat-out permission did not open up permission for viruses and zombies in all probability... it simply gave the ADMINISTRATOR the opportunity to tell the machine: If I am issuing a command to run one of these programs, don't but me with the pop-up window and require a permission entry.
So I turned the protection to the minimum level and now the annoying window does not greet me every time I start a program.
If I get eaten alive by a computer virus tomorrow night, then you will know (from my obituary) that you should not do likewise.
I'll keep reading on this topic to make sure I am not running "more naked" than I think I am.
***That sentence brought back memories. Long before I adopted the colorful ID "Goat Rodeo Cowboy" I had a short lived era in my life when I posted in another forum under the name: "Nekkid Jogger"... but that is another story for another place. ;D

I used Mackie's software Tracktion for awhile. It was surprisingly good for radio type work. Quick, responsive and I enjoyed working with it. I was a huge fan of CEP2 too but I think the industry love affair with its present incarnation (Audition) is a little bit too much to be honest. It's not really that awesome.

I guess we each have different needs from our software. If you think Audition is not that awesome, tell me what IS awesome. I want to look at it. ;D
