Activity Forums Adobe Audition Unnatural Echo during playback

  • Unnatural Echo during playback

    Posted by Alex Lee on December 19, 2011 at 2:25 am

    This is a very unnatural occurrence. I’ve looked around the web and have found no answers.
    Basically I record an Audio file, and everything looks fine. But as soon as I play it back you can hear a very terrible echo effect applied to it.
    I’m using Adobe Audition CS5.5 and this just started happening about a week ago. It was never an issue before.

    Any tips or ideas would really be helpful. Thanks

    Have you played it back using another program such as a media player?
    Is the file being recorded through Audition and then rendered out with the echo effect?

    Ive tried playing it back in a different program. I recorded and then render out immediately. No effects, but it still has this echo/reverb when its played back in Audition and in another application.

    You might try using another program to record the audio, such as Audacity https://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
    But you should probably just uninstall Audition and then reinstall.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I tried that but I still get an echo, could this be a hardware issue?

    my guess is that there are settings in your built in sound card that add the reverb. Try opening the audio mixer for the sound card and check the output settings, you’ll probably find settings for adding reverb effect and this can be turned off.

    Thank you for the tip.
    Since this was never a problem before it never occurred to me that this might be something in the hardware settings. After disabling every thing that I could it seems to work fine again.

    Thanks!
