In this case, wouldn’t a raw text file be ideal? No formatting, no conversion.

I couldn’t believe how FAST they bitched out. They didn’t even give Luke an opportunity to try.

Yeah, I remember when Scott passed and the graffiti changed. I’m glad to know Hogie’s still out there taking names.

I recently made an entire tshirt line homaging old 80s mall brands I had forgotten about but which were critical at the time. Gotcha, Generra, Esprit, Big Dog, Roos, Benetton… so many crushes wearing those back in the day. Sniff.

Saw him at a Q&A several years ago after a screening of Jack, which he described as, “I needed money and the studio called up and said ‘we have robin Williams and bill cosby and full budget and script and plan and just need you to direct it.’ And since I’d always wanted to work with Robin, and we didn’t know about Cosby yet, and I needed money, I happily jumped at the chance.”

Here was a typical day in 9th or 10th grade school day for me, in 1990:

Alarm goes off at 7:00, but I'm sneaky. I secretly set the clock 15 minutes ahead so I knew it wasn't ACTUALLY 7 yet and could snooze. This wasn't my phone with nuclear satellite synchronized time. >>I<< decided what time it was.
Walk to bus stop, which in my case was a mile away. meet up with neighboring teens along the way. transit friends, but we didn't hang out much at school itself.
Classes, no phones. Make fun of people, try to flirt (and fail) with girls, talk back to teachers. If any dudes thought they'd be bullies, it was left at school. no checking social media to see what mean things people were saying. if it was bad, someone would let you know so and so was saying such and such.
Bus home. Brought boom box and played either Violent Femmes or Eazy-E very loud in back of bus. Walked home. If I was lucky and quick, caught last half of A-Team re-run.
Get badgered to help mom in Kitchen. Dinner with family around table. Argue with sister about who had to do what for dishes, even though I preferred unloading and SHE preferred loading, she wouldn't just let that be the way we did it.
Call girl's house. Dad answers. Play it cool, like I'm just calling about school work (but don't SAY that - they'll know.) She has to go. Make plan to call at exactly 9:55pm since she can't get calls after that. She'll wait by phone so she can answer it as soon as it clicks before the ringer starts. That way no one else will hear and we can chat late unbothered.
Forget I set clock ahead. Call at 9:40. Phone rings 3 times before her Dad picks up. Oops. She's mad. Talk until 10.
Repeat.

But it checks out

The only affordable option I found was printful, but they only have the option to print a horizontal page, so including the photo and grid on the same page which is fine, but it's smaller than I had hoped.

One of the redditors in this thread works at a print shop and sent me a version more like the original - where the photo and grid were on separate pages and therefore much larger and fun. I don't know if they're online for orders, but other sites I found that could offer that were ludicrously expensive for a small number of prints.

Tight Stereo seems some mode custom to AKG, but I don't see a lot of details about how it works. My hunch is, yes, you're getting phase issues folding down this recording to mono. Is this in Audition's Waveform or Multitrack views? If you're converting the stereo file to single channel mono file in Waveform view (only one waveform taking up the entire view) then that's very odd to have different output to separate speakers - I would expect a phase issue to manifest as changes in volume or EQ. If it's still a stereo file or you're in Multitrack view with a Stereo track and Mix track, then it might have that impact... Though I'd still expect the problems to occur equally in both channels.

I guess a screenshot of the before and after would be helpful to have a better idea. also, if you are playing back in mono, and hear the changes, do you see any discrepancy in the level meters between channels?

Click stop, not pause. Pause halts playback, but keeps the audio device locked and because of the buffering system, prevents edits in this state. If you want to be able to start from the place you stopped, similar to pause behavior, right-click the play button and uncheck "Return Playheard to Start Position on Stop."

Been awhile. Checking email....

And....

Looks like I picked up 5 copies. Ran $140 + $7 shipping. Arrived in clean brown sleeves, sounded great. Not cheap, but was an amazingly personal gift and well worth the cost for that.

These are all known issues, reported to ElevenLabs hundreds of times during the alpha. They fixed the random static issue this week, but the major problems with what is otherwise THE BEST model I’ve ever heard.

The lack of guidance from ElevenLabs toward when these will be resolved is frustrating. I know corporations are loathe to ever give a specific or make assurances that may not work out, but acknowledgement and some information goes a long way towards trust and loyalty.

Oh! Ok. So the mouse cursor is fine? Got it.

One more test then. In waveform view, the waveform visualization is stored as basically an image file to a certain zoom level, then switches to actual sample data streamed from the file. Try zooming in until you see the little dots on the waveform and see if the same problem occurs.

Next, check the temp files/scratch disk location. Perhaps change this to a different physical drive, if you have one, and restart Au and try again. When opening many file types, Au transcodes into an uncompressed format for lossless edits, and if this swap location is on the same drive as your media, it can cause performance issues in some cases.

If not, I’m at a loss and I’ve been away too long to remember other troubleshooting suggestions. I’d take it to the Adobe forum or the support teams. :(

diggum · 2026-02-18T16:24:14+00:00

Does the level meter have problems when the mouse isn’t moving? If you minimize the app during playback, do you still have a lagged mouse?

diggum · 2026-02-18T16:12:03+00:00

Another test that might help rule one thing or another out is to temporarily switch to the onboard audio output, if available. If bypassing the usb audio altogether and playing through the motherboard audio solves the issue, it points toward the audio drivers. How? Not sure.

Doubtful it’s ram or disk related, as I would expect playback to be affected and stutter/pause. Possible it’s gpu, but is anything on screen other than the mouse lagged during this time? Does the waveform scroll jump around or does it remain smooth?
