    1'm ready to declare Audition 3.0 : Relatively Stable On Windows XP!

      Oh what the hell, if 1'm going to be jinxed at any tyme, now is the tyme!

       

       

      I realized a few weeks ago that the audition "freezes" I thought were occuring, were simply when Audition 3.0 and Youtube were both open and neither one was minimized, while many times I can play Audition with Youtube open, now and then Youtube seems to hold the soundcards drivers hostage or whatever, but all I have to do is close the Youtube TAB in firefox or minimize the entire window, and then Audition will play again.

       

      Previously, I had thought that when Audition wouldn't play it had "frozen" or "crashed" and so I saved, closed and re-opened, but in actuality it was just the driver wasn't working.

       

      I didn't even think of the internet interferring because, it never does except if you're playing music from another site, I've heard of internet interferring with recordings and whatever and I have never had that problem and many times I have forgotten to turn it off while recoding because I buy songs off the internet and download them and use elements (like classical songs and such, Bach, cello renditions) point is Audition is stable enough to operate while connected to the internet.

       

      I have only had 1 real crash by Audition 3.0 and I've been using it for about 3 months straight almost every day now, and the session re-opened fine I didn't lose anything except changes made after the last time I saved the session.  I don't remember about the recovery thing but obviously it must not have worked but i wouldn't want it to because a crash could cos corrupted data or something I don't want to save that, I probably said no to the dialog box..

       

       

      So, lets see if I jinx myself or not.

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

      What I don't understand is that suite spot said if you save a backup of your session and files that the backup still references the original folder it was int, but I saved a backup of a project I originally had on C: drive, and put the project on G: and now I use the G: Drive as the main project that I open first and the others are the backups, but the new files I record are on the G: drive "recorded_" folder they don't go into the C: drive which is the original drive that Project was started on, so what does suite spot mean the session references files from the original partition?   What are you talking about man?

          though i should point out that there is a still the problem of Audition 3.0 using so much processor power with certain efx, and if you have too many files in a session sometimes that slows the reaction time down a bit, that is a problem...

           

          But, if high processor usage is one of the main reasons this program has a good sound quality, then I wouldn't want it fixed...I'd rather get a better computer as long as the newer ones make a difference.

           


          I know some people have no problems with the processor being maxed out, but these people probably aren't running tons of tracks with numerous files and efx.

           

          Furthermore, it is indisputable that other programs perform much better with the same amount of tracks, files and efx.

           

          However, if this is related to sound quality (which I do not know one-way or the other) then I would be fine with it and just work around it by freezing tracks and whatnot.

           

           

          It would be really nice to know WHY Audition uses up considerable cpu power relative to other programs though.
