Audition 3, Stops recording when switching windows

[Skip Wilson]

This problem has been driving me nuts forever, and I finally found a solution courtesy of https://www.thesession.org/discussions/display/15082. I’ll paste what I found here for good measure:

———–
The problem you are experiencing is that Audition is releasing the ASIO driver when it is no longer the window in focus (the selected application window). What you need to do is to tell Audition not to release the ASIO driver when you change the window that is in focus.

On the menu do the following

Edit/Audio Hardware Setup (Third from the bottom)

-> [ ] Release ASIO Driver in Background

This is located toward the middle of the dialog box vertically.

Un-Check the check-box so that Audition will stay connected to the ASIO driver even when the window is “out of focus”.

I tried the fix above and it worked in one case, but I have a different computer running 3.0 that STILL stops when I move the cursor out of the Audition window even though the AISO release button is unchecked in all three modes.

What else would cause this?

Solved it by going the adobe audition directory and right clicking on the audition exe, run compatibility mode and select “run as vista” works perfect now 😉
