Mixdown - Audition will not open file. (b1117)

Not sure if this is a bug or just a parameter issue with the mixdown settings.

Adobe Audition v3 will NOT open ANY file created by mixdown. WAV, OGG and MP3 fail with Adobe reporting it doesn’t appear to be a supported file type. Audacity and Winamp do however.

Not sure what is causing Audition to barf. This occurs after a reboot as well, so it’s something in the file header I guess, but not sure what!

I don’t have access to Audition 3. Have you tried to analyze/validate the files with one of the available tools (e.g. mp3tag)?

Not yet. I was puzzled when I tried OGG and WAV and it failed on those as well. I may have to create a sample in v3.1 and also v4.0 and then hexedit the header if needs be. Something is amiss, just not sure what yet. I’ll hopefully get some time tomorrow morning!

Tried the same with Adobe Audition 2 and 1.5 now. Yipp, it won’t import non of the Mixdown files. Didn’t see something special at the first looking. I will try to go deeper into this problem this weekend aswell.

OK, this is what I think is happening.

mAirlist is not closing the file after mixdown. If I try and open it in Audition, it fails. If I try and open in Hexedit, I get a file full of zero’s!! (Audacity and Winamp open the file in non-exclusive or won’t lock it I guess)

When I close mAirlist, it appears that the file(s) get closed as part of the clean up and Audition is now happy to recognize and open, Windows Explorer now reports correct file size.

I can now open files saved on Thursday night, so I think my theory is holding.

Bug report to be filed.

Cheers, Richard

Hm, perhaps the mixdown thread is stuck or so. Have you filed this as a bugreport in Redmine already? I’ll have a look next week when I’m back at work.

Already filed.

Cheers, Richard

Fixed in b1118.

And indeed it is in b1119. However, now the CLOSE button remains disabled at the end of the mixdown, STOP is still available. I can close the dialog using the top right ‘x’. I have filed the bug report :slight_smile:

I’ll have a look.

By the way, when a bug does not appear to be fixed after I closed the ticket, feel free to reopen the existing ticket, rather than starting a new one.

Worked like a treat in b1125.

Thanks for the extra buttons.
