Help Getting Started With Audition!

[jkaufmann]

I just spent almost $400 on Adobe Audition after doing a little research for what I thought would be the most suitable recording software for my needs. I THOUGHT I had done enough due diligence on my system requirement capabilities, but I haven't been able to get the program to even open once on my computer. I have a new Toshiba laptop, Intel Core Duo Processor, 4 GB of RAM, Windows Vista Home Premium, 64 bit Op System, and 248 GB of free space currently. I bought Audition through the Adobe website as a download. It appeared to install correctly. But when I try to open it after installing a popup says that Windows had to close Audition because it was not working property and directs me to adjust my Data Execution Prevention Settings. When I add Audition into the list of Programs that the DEP should not effect, I still get no results. Does any one have any advice? It still seems after going back through my laptop's system capabilities that the software should work, so I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not Audition user so m ability to help is extremely limited unfortunately.

My gut says there may be an issue with the 64bit version of Vista. Some programs require 64bit, others require 32. What a mess!

If you get it figured out, could please post how you did it?

yes I'll let you know if I figure it out. Is there another software program that you think would work well with the computer specs I have? I used Cakewalk a long time ago and it seemed fairly decent, but i see many bad reviews on the net.

You can download Reaper for free and try it for 30 days. You got nothing to lose.

I found this on Adobe's forum: Adobe Forums - DEP Error on Vista X64 SP-1
It seems they have a solution to your problem.
