Review of Audition 5.5
Somewhere recently I read a not-so-complimentary review of Audition 5.5. If it
was in rec.audio.pro, I can't find it. The review said that 5.5 had stripped some functionality that was available in 3, presumably to make it feature compatible with the Mac version. Does anyone recall that review? I'm still using 1.5. While I almost upgraded to 3.0, I'm not so inclined to upgrade (?) to 5.5. Almost all of my editing is two tracks. Maybe Sound Forge Pro is a good alternative. |

It does appear to be time to move on. We long surmised how long it would be before Adobe screwed up Cool Edit Pro. That time seems to be upon us. Other than ProTools, what's a good alternative? Sound Forge Pro? Two key features I really need are the ability to zoom in to edit points quickly for precise editing and hard limiting. Most of the files I record and edit are one or two-track voice files. Audacity is a great utility for free, but its zoom ability is somewhat clunky, unless there are ways that I don't know about. The best little editor I ever used was FastEdit, but the developers let it go after they did a lame port from 16 to 32 bit for XP. |

(not that I use it myself) Even though I stayed with Audition through release 3, I never bought into the new UI and stuck with CEP 2.1. The most recent round of deletions cut pretty close to the quick for me. |

My understanding is that Audition, starting with Version 2, has some enhanced functionality with regard to built-in effects. For example, the multiband processor is supposed to be a good one, not that anyone here would use one of those. I'm using 1.5 and will continue to do so, until I use something else. |

Since I use my DAW a recorder/editor and do almost no processing in the box, Audition 1.5 is all will probably ever need. I own both Audition 1.5 and 3.0. I use 1.5. Also, I have been working extensively with the Mac beta-test copy in audio for video. I frequently have to ship back to Windows to do some process missing in the Mac version. For example, you can't do a simple level change in single track mode. The volume control no longer has a numeric entry, just a curve to manipulate. Repeatable levels changes are impossible. Who could imagine a software package that wouldn't let you reduce level by 50% (or 6 dB, your choice of settings) over 3 seconds? |

For proggies that need something other than full-blood 32 bit operation, you need a 32 bit mode VM in what M$ now calls "XP mode". I've run it completely without problems on both on pretty much a daily basis since 2005 on XP and the last couple months on Win7. The backup drive is about 400 miles and three or four days away. I've got Cool Edit Pro SE running on XP, but Cool Edit 96 won't play, from what I remember. Even Windows 98 or 95 compatibility modes wouldn't let it work. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

CEP 2.1 has a very good set of those basic tools, making such things as creating multiband processors a fairly trivial task. Audition 1.x took a step back from those capabilities, and it appears that Adobe is continuing to march in the direction of pre-fab implemenations. Not my cup of tea. No reason for any of that stuff on a DAW these days because my home theater amp and my car deck both have programs built in for EQ, dynamic compression and a wide variety of reverbs.

I turned it on flat and can't hear a difference at all! Maybe it's for driving on long, even stretches of highway? |

Somewhere recently I read a not-so-complimentary review of Audition 5.5. If it was in rec.audio.pro, I can't find it. The review said that 5.5 had stripped some functionality that was available in 3, presumably to make it feature compatible with the Mac version. Does anyone recall that review? I'm still using 1.5. While I almost upgraded to 3.0, I'm not so inclined to upgrade (?) to 5.5. Almost all of my editing is two tracks. Maybe Sound Forge Pro is a good alternative. Good to know, I think I'll stay with 1.5 thanks Chris http://music-product-reports.com |

Review of Audition 5.5
Does anyone know if owning 3.0 gives you an "upgrade" discount on CS5.5? I
can't find the pertinent information anywhere on the Adobe website. |

Regards, Ty Ford Thanks, Ty, That answered the question I asked, but not the question I intended, but after more research I found that owning any version of Audition gives you no credit toward upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5. Don't need an upgrade for Audition. I was looking to buy the whole AV suite. |

: In article ET, says... http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/895/cpsid_89588.html My review will appear shortly in Pro Audio review. I can't wait to read it, but it sure looks like they gutted the program. Was there ever a version 4? No. The 5.5 designation applies to the fact that it is part of Creative Suite version 5.5. |

Review of Audition 5.5
In article ,
says... In article , says... In article ET, says... http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/895/cpsid_89588.html My review will appear shortly in Pro Audio review. I can't wait to read it, but it sure looks like they gutted the program. Was there ever a version 4? I found an Adobe forum with a lot of information about choices Adobe made regarding features to keep/improve and features to toss. All is not lost - apparently to meet the CS5.5 release date the developers had to perform triage, but it sounds as if some of the deleted features will re-appear in the future if people pester Adobe. For instance, one commenter emphasized the usefulness of the Scientific Filters as laboratory "test equipment." Clearly he's a customer who's not in Adobe's target customer group. An Adobe engineer states that they'd rewritten all the code to bring it up to date with changes to the operating systems and hardware. Jason I forgot to include the reference to the forum. It is: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/838570?tstart=0 |

How should I, i subscribe to their fora, but no traffic arrives via mail as it should. For instance, one commenter emphasized the usefulness of the Scientific Filters as laboratory "test equipment." Clearly he's a customer who's not in Adobe's target customer group. Must have been an audio engineer knowing what kind of high-pass filter that sounds well. An Adobe engineer states that they'd rewritten all the code to bring it up to date with changes to the operating systems and hardware. Must have been a sales clerk speaking up. Changes from windows xp to windows 7 do not in my profesional opinion as sound engineer and as certified it professional necessitate any change of actual functionality.

Ah, yes, one thing: proper support of multi-processing and proper multithreading with detachment. THAT is nice. Also a mentioning that the missing stuff may reappear in A6 and that it is missing because rewriting took longer than expected. Makes sense, but also makes it make sense to pass and wait since missing stuff breaks my usage. The statement above nevertheless stands since the requirements to meet for multiprocessing support are unchanged since NT4. Kind regards Peter Larsen Jason Kind regards Peter Larsen |

Now THAT would require a lot of radical rewriting (and would have new bugs also). This is not an upgrade I would recommend for PC users. |
