Adobe Audition: Professional Sound Editing
Adobe Audition is the latest in sound editing. The newest interface matches the rest of the Adobe Video Collection package, along with Premiere Pro, Encore DVD, and After Effects, to a T. While most full service Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) run almost exclusively on Mac's, Audition only works on Windows, which may make shortcuts a little difficult to get used to.
Professional Capabilities
The program is absolutely complete for use of:
- Tracking
- Editing
- Mixing
- Mastering on a professional level
The program features the pitch shifting and time-stretching Radius, made by iZotope, the same algorithm used by industry trademarks like Cakewalk and Digidesign.
Key Updates and Features
Frequency Editor
The new design of the frequency editor makes it much easier to pin-point selections and change them around to your setting. With this you can even take selections, put them into Photoshop, and change them that way.
Recording Latency
One of the best updates with the new version is the increased latency when recording. This seemed to be one of the biggest drawbacks of the older version and Adobe definitely corrected it.
Guitar Suite Effects
The Guitar Suite-effects sound awesome, mimicking analog guitar sounds to affect any track with wah, distortion and compressor.
Conclusion
This really is a wonderful DAW where the limits of what you can do truly end with your imagination.
