How to open SESX file?

An often recurring problem with Adobe Audition Session Format is that SESX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SESX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SESX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Adobe Audition

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe Audition is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Audition into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SESX with Adobe Audition. Below you will find a list of applications that support SESX files.

Programs to open SESX file

Remember to download programs supporting SESX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Audition with SESX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SESX file still does not use the Adobe Audition program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Audition application as the default for handling the SESX file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Audition to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Audition with Adobe Audition Session Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SESX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SESX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SESX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SESX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SESX file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SESX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SESX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SESX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SESX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SESX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
