You want the Centre Channel Extractor in the Filters menu (introduced in Audition 1.5) which will either remove vocals quite effectively from the centre while leaving the stereo image intact – which is the big advance from the “traditional” methods – or it will leave the vocal and remove everything else, which is a totally new trick. It’s not perfect however – results depend on material, and some phasiness can result – but it’s probably ahead of any other solution unless you spend a fortune.

Audition does not offer fader automation as such, but it offers an equally effective mechanism through envelopes in multitrack view. These can control volume, pan, and the parameters of some effects, including wet/dry mix. You won’t see anything move when you play back, but you’ll hear the effect of the envelopes, which as noted will be applied when you mix down to a stereo file.

There are some often-overlooked tutorials on Adobe’s main site, in the “Adobe Studio” section of the support area.

Look up “envelopes” in the help file. This will guide you in their basic use in multitrack view and it also describes what parameters in which effects can be automated in this way (eg Pan/expand, stereo field rotate, dynamic eq, apart from the basic volume and pan stuff.

It’s probably a conflict with other CD burning programs you have on your machine – particularly InCD or other packet writing CD software.

Try this:-

1. perform the registry edit documented at https://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320553

2. Uninstall Nero and Ahead InCD software

3. Uninstall Audition

4. Reboot

5. Reinstalled Audition

6. Reboot again
