Adobe Audition 2.0 AVAILABLE NOW

J

jefflaurence

www.adobe.com/products/audition/main.html

Upgrade from licensed versions of 1.5 for 129.99. Downloadable version is available but its 500MB so have a quick connection.

Sessions savesd in 1.5 can move to the 2.0 format, but NOT from 2.0 back to machines with 1.5 on them..so be aware.

This new software has controller capability so you can use a mackie ot tascam interface to control the levels etc..much like pro tools.

Hmm... I like the look of the new multiband processor, but that's about it. I think I'll stick with 1.5 for now.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: Adobe Audition 2.0 AUTO FADERS!!!

WOW..it has automated faders in multitrack! It DOES support the Mackie Universal Controller..I'm starting to dislike ProTools already.

AUTOMATED FADERS sells me out of the box...It saves the fade scripts, and makes a flawless recording!

A few things need to be "adjusted" like usual with all Adobe products..but I got it up and running this afternoon with nary a problem..I LIKE IT A LOT!
 
Re: Adobe Audition 2.0 AUTO FADERS!!!

Jeff,

Did you get your USB B.L.U.E. mic working w/ 2.0? I know you were having some issues with 1.5 compatibility...Or was it a problem with the mic?
 
Re: Adobe Audition 2.0 AUTO FADERS!!!

Yes the BLUE Snowball now works with 2.0..dunno what the issue might have been..not real sure it sounds good enough to work with tho'

2.0 is great. Digidesign better get off the stick, and stop this foolishness of requiring proprietary hardware. This new Audition will be a real contender. I got the flying faders working with my Mackie Universal Controller this afternoon. No problems. Mixes great.

Jeff
Does 2.0 have the Master out in the multi-track like PT and Vegas? Where one can place EQ, Limiter, etc, for the whole mix. Instead of having to mixdown, then apply plugs?

The Master Out is one feature that AA 1.5 doesn't have, but would be nice.
 
Re: Adobe Audition 2.0 AUTO FADERS!!!

Master fader is on the extreme RIGHT side of the mixer screen..and the EQs and assorted plugins can be added to each mixer bus just like a good quality console. This program is truly amazing. The mmore I work with it the better I like it. HOWEVER it does have a small learning curve..some things we're used to in AA 1.5 are either re-configured and called something new (mixdown to file is now an EXPORT function..and is a little cumbersome unless you write a few shortcuts) OR they are moved (example instead of "device order" and "device properties" in the OPTIONS tab..you go to FILE and there is a separate section called "Audio Hardware Setup"..does the same thing, but is moved.

Finally the new AA 2.0 prefers ASIO sound cards..it will use an older Direct Sound format, but like the ASIO better. Many sound cards' manufacturers will offer ASIO drivers on thier websites.

Did they fix the issue with Audition stopping once at the end of the waveform when it's up on the screen while playing back the audio? or maybe i'm missing a setting or something.

Instead of the PLAY button, use the PLAY THRU (play icon circled). AA will continue to play beyond the initial waveform.

WOW!! Welcome to the Nineties!!
 
Re: Adobe Audition 2.0 AUTO FADERS!!!

Yeah..I know, but it IS something. And lot of people like Audition. They have a ton of people working on upgrading it..and have the courtesy to actually take suggestions and listen to thier users.

As an opposite..Digidesign requires thier hardware to properly run Pro Tools. It takes quite awhile to tweak, and adjust, and setup..Audition 2.0 was running with my current sound cards in less than 45 min. Pro Tools uses antiquated controller data, and frequently crashes due to "tokens" running out. If you've worked at all with Pro Tools you know what that does. It's NOT a PC friendly program, and unless we all run MACS as well (with lots less 3rd party software available) we run PT on a PC, and it's a resource hog.

Digidesign will just wake up some mornings, and decide that a piece of thier gear is "obsolete" and require you to buy a whole new system in order to get an upgraded version of thier software. I'm tired of having an Audiomedia III card, then having to get a Digi001..then a Digi002..then get all of the hardware for Pro Tools 24, just to find that Pro Tools HD is out and Digi won't support thier older gear any longer.

And Apple is just as bad..I have a G3, G4 and now a G5..I like thier gear, but the planned uselessness of thier hardware is getting pricy, and a little annoying.

A good production can be done simply and quickly with Audition..and even early versions of Cool Edit work just fine.

No, you install it (about two minutes) reboot (about 45 seconds) and start recording.

Pro Tools does not "frequently crash;" your experience with it must either have been prior to Mac OS X or - more than likely - with a PC. The last crash I had was over a year ago and I caused it to happen by putting a plug in in the wrong folder. I've only ever seen one post on Digidesign's forums about "tokens"; it's not really an issue.

IS THERE A PC FRIENDLY PROGRAM?!?! Or better yet, is there a friendly PC? I mean, you're talking about an operating system that's legendary for its crashes, freezes, refusal to install applications, worms, viruses, etc. Why even bother? BTW, it's "Mac," not "MAC."

Since I'm doing mostly VO stuff, some complete spots and a little music, I don't need to stay on the upgrade treadmill; I anticipate that I can continue to run PT 6.1 on this computer for a few years still - and I've had it since the summer of 2003. You still see a lot of people running PT on OS 9 (and a lot of video houses, too, still run Media 100 and others on OS 9). Constantly upgrading is only for those who need to always be on the cutting edge; that's a personality trait, not sound business practice. I've got a ton of free plug ins, too (both RTAS and VST), so I can do anything with my rig that the super-smokin' image guy at your local InfiniChannel with the Waves bundle can.

A good production can be done simply and more quickly with Pro Tools; Audition's editing is still too clunky. It also costs $349 now, plus sound card; it makes the $400 Mbox with free Pro Tools LE software look all the more appealing.
 
Adobe Audition links

I agree with Jeff. I know many people who swear by ProTools, and having never used it I won't knock em. I know Audition and have been using it ever since it was the original Cool Edit. Wonderful program. I'm really excited about 2.0, and yes the ASIO support is long overdue but finally it's here!!!!

Couple of links worth sharing:

Hart Shafer, the product manager for Audition has started up a blog at http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/[email protected]@.3bbe12d2

The Adobe forum may ask you to log in, but if you don't have an account and don't want to create one you can log in as guest and still get to it.

Haven't upgraded yet. I'm still trying to convince the boss to spend the money so it will probably be next quarter. :(

I have to agree on this point..a good piece of production can be
done on a simple basis with most any editing software.
The technology has surpassed the producers ability to use it.
Good writing..good delivery is basic.
All the pro-tools..plugins..adobe extras etc..can't make up in
bells and whistles can't improve a bad cliche ridden script and
mediocre delivery.

Isn't that something you change in the preferences too?? Something like scrolling during playback??
