If you open the new MP3 file in Audition, what does it think the mp3 bit rate to be? (This is displayed in the Source Format column in the Files panel or the Format area in the Properties panel.)

Can you tell us, or attach a screenshot, what values are set for Sample Type and Format Settings in the Export Range Markers dialog?

Strange this time I tried 192 but it was saved under 160. I exported and then opened track_1

192 Kbps

getting 160 Kbps

Does is anyone have this problem?

Having a spare ten minutes, I just tried this using the same settings (stereo original, mono MP3) both as an export from Multitrack view, and also as a direct save from Edit view. I simply can't get this to go wrong - it saves as exactly what it says it will. And the metadata and file properties tie up correctly as well...

I've just tried to export into 32 Kbps mono. After opening new mp3 track it shows 160 Kbps and strange thing that tempo of the song became almost twice faster. 3:22 min turned to 1:40 min in length

and after I used Save Selection As (192 Kbps mp3) it stays there now and when I export into 128 Kbps mp3 it still gives me 192 Kbps. Well, I guess I know how to get around it. This feature Export Audio within Range Markers is really great.

The only thing I can think of to try is deleting (or renaming and saving) C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Aplication Data\Adobe\Audition\4.0\Application Setings.xml and seeing if this still happens. If you either delete, or rename this, then Audition will automatically replace it with a new 'vanilla' version. But this file does contain some settings related to this, so it may well be worth trying. If you can't find it, you may have to unhide the folder it's in, but it will be there!

I'm reopening this because it was never solved and I have a similar problem with Audition CS6 on OS X. No matter what Multitrack Mixdown settings I chose, Audition creates a 192 kbps MP3.

Were there any solutions?

At least in my case, this ended up being a very strange issue. I remade my multitrack session and still encountered this problem. Even though the audio and the session were at 16-bit, the exported file was at 32-bit. So I changed Audition's mixdown settings from "Same as Source" (which should have meant 16-bit) to 16-bit, and then my MP3 properly encoded with the settings I actually chose!

Apparently, "Same as Source" to Audition means "completely different from source and the user's other preferences."
