Try downloading ASIO4ALL. It typically helps with ASIO related problems found in 2.0. However, Vista may very well be the issue.

Audition is actually very commonly used for mastering. Much more common than most people realize, especially in all-digital mastering houses. Audition, Sound Forge and Wavelab are the big three. And Audition does just as well as any.
There are, however, plug-ins that add a great deal of flexibility. If you’d like to add a mastering plug-in, IMO, iZotope Ozone 3 cannot be beat!
Now, even if you don’t care to spend the money, there’s a free download from iZotope that is OUTSTANDING reading. As far as I’m concerned, this is one of the best audio resources in existance.

Even though it is designed to be used with Ozone, there’s a HUGE amount of info that applies to audio, in general. Read the whole thing (skim the Ozone-specific parts).
Everyone here would be wise to read this PDF. It’s just absolutely superb, and pretty easy to understand.

As Willie says, it will NEVER, EVER happen…With any software. When you can take a baked cake and remove the eggs used in the batter and put them back in their shells, I will tell you how to remove the vocals from a mono track.

You can run it to 0dBFS without distortion. Deliver at whatever is asked for by the client. If the client has no preference and it’s a final mix, send it at -0.1dB. Peak values don’t really influence RMS levels, so it has nothing to do with loudness. 0dBFS (or -.1) will give you the best S/N ratio.

Read up on Frequncy Space Editing in the help file. Depending on the context, you could also try the ‘fill single click’ function.

Anything hardware related is going to be just that…Hardware. And hardware varies hugely. Most people transferring vinyl would use a phono preamp, not a basic mixer. Audition is a professional piece of software designed to be used with professional hardware. These types of questions should be covered in your hardware manual. There are simply too many variables for Adobe to begin making assumptions. For input to the PC alone, there can be inputs for TRS, TS, miniplug, XLR, USB, RCA, firewire, AES EBU, BNC, MIDI, S/Pdif and ethernet. For cards with included A/D, the analog ins can be +4dBu or -10dBv. Cards can be stereo or multichannel. Conversion can be internal or external. The possibilities are endless…And that’s just the PC input. Then there’s the rest of the chain. The setup of a $70,000 chain is vastly different from that of a $300 chain.
Perhaps we can answer some of your specific questions. If you’re simply looking for the best path for LP transfers, you’ll lead the table through an RIAA phono preamp into a high quality converter or interface. You’re absolutely right…It’s not as simple as plugging into the soundcard. Likewise, it’s impossible to offer advice without hearing the details of your setup and what, specifically, you are trying to accomplish.

Audition presets are stored in the Audition.ini file. Make a copy of that file and drag and drop it on the Audition.exe file on the second machine. Your presers should be moved.

Audition’s routing was overhauled between versions 1.5 and 2.0. 2.0 (and soon 3.0) use ASIO drivers and both support multichannel recording as well as any other PC-based product.
Are we talking about the 1010 or the 1010LT? In terms of interaction with the program, they should be identical. However, the 1010 has balanced IO and a breakout box that will give you better overall sound quality (at twice the price). Both should be fine. If you’re concerned about the most pristine sound, look toward the E-mu line. They are more complicated to set up, but the converters are second to none.
You might also look at something like the Focusrite Saffire line. Firewire-based and very good (plus you get a nice set of Focusrite preamps).

I can’t legally speak of any details of the Audition 3.0 release, so I can’t tell you if your problem will be avoidable or not, in the next release. What I can say is that it should be out by November and a demo version should be available around the same time. So until you can test it out for yourself, there are some workarounds.
1. After recording, you can go to Effects > Amplitude > Channel Mixer and use the “Both Left” preset.
2. You can record in mono in the multitrack screen. In MT, you have the option to choose which input you want to use (L or R). In edit view, it only allows for a mono sum.

This is a known problem with AA 2.0. As I recall, it occurs when the soundcard recieves only half of a stereo/dual mono signal. Read here for details:
