Adobe audition 1.5

Something that made me use this program more(then the older version) is that your now able to use VST plug-ins with it. This is if you ask me the most important upgrade. But there are also some little extras like burning cds inside Audition, now you dont have to export them 1st and load them into lets say nero to burn your mixdown you just finished. I know this was possible with cool edit 2 too yes but this was something you had to get separately, now its already in it.

Price paid

$299

I used cool edit pro for years so I cant really judge if this new(er) version of cool edit is easy to use. But I know that when I was just new to sound editors, I liked cool edit more then others because it was so simple to use. And the interface hasnt changed that much so I guess its still a pretty easy to use program.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The sound quality is exactly what you would expect from the newest version of cool edit pro, nothing really fancy here.

I must say that Audition is still a very ''light'' program. I heard some people say that this one isnt as smooth running as cool edit pro2 but I guess I have to disagree with them. If you compare this program with cubase SX(I know, these twoo are completely different, but hey lots of people know them both)audition is very less RAM consuming, and this is noticeable and feelable. And about the durability, well it just crashed on me a couple times and thats normal I guess with software.

OVERALL OPINION

For me its the number one editor, its the program I used for ages, and prolly will use for many more years.

I think that the user interface of the program just make music so accesible. Simple controls and functions, a well rounded program.

Oh my word, I think this program is the easiest I've ever used. Straight forward once you learn the ropes, no real flaws I see.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I think this is a very simple, beginners program to record and mix vocals on. I use it for multipurposes, such as recording audio for school, recording freestyles and battle verses, and also cd quality work. it has decent sound quality for the fact that you can download it.

its a program, so i dont have to repair, but the overall quality of the product is very high, an invaluable piece of technology.

OVERALL OPINION

This is just an amzing program. I am completely feeling this track.

Audition 1.5 good loop-based features but lacks many others. For example, it has no looping grid (such as that in Cubase) and it's somewhat difficult to slice and loop. There are a few bugs that are not yet fixed. On the good side, Audition is a Wave editor, Multi-Track recorder and CD Project manager, which is found in few other softwares.

Paid: $250

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I haven't used VST's with Audition yet but the sound quality and sound effects otherwise are good. Has a wide variety of mastering/mixing effects.

Audition is very easy to use. Using loops is very easy. Mixing is done with a virtual 20-track mixer. Panning/mixing loop blocks is a breeze. It's also easy to edit drums/instruments as you are using them.

OVERALL OPINION

I've liked Adobe Audition since the Cool Edit days. Very easy to use and very functional.

Sequencer and multitrack audio editor.

Implementation a breeze. In French, it has just a few flaws in translation, but that's all.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I know this program since its inception (and Cool Edit Cool Edit Pro) and I'm using version 1.5 today although he is currently in version CS6 (early March 2013). Even professionals use the radio again and you'll quickly understand why.

First, it is a LULM (= Ultra-Light Motorized Software ^ ^). The installer weighs less than 40 MB: this allows it to be stowed in any software package without weighing it so excessive. The following versions are at least 150 MB then it is indestructible: it is ultra-stable. It's simple: it does not crash ever. Which is necessarily the case with newer versions. And again, if in case it is the Windows plant, if it is at the time of startup files or projects that have not been closed properly, it can recover and recharge. Then it is a true multitrack: you can arm all tracks if needed (Samlitude - at least version 6.0, this is not the case: only one track can be armed at a time) and each track can receive individually any sound card input and send audio to any output. Then its spectral vision is daunting. Then it all (or almost) the functions needed to work on audio files. And finally, it runs under Windows 8 64-bit, which is not the case of version 3, in any case (newer versions: not tested).

It's just too bad he does not take care of the ASIO protocol, it supports the protocols WDM / MME. At least as regards the PC version. So far, it bothered me not because the sound card I used (Sek'd Prodif Plus, a PCI 12 inputs - outputs including 8 via ADAT) is even multichannel WDM / MME but this is no longer the If my new sound card (M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R, a USB 2.0 8 inputs - outputs) that it is only through multi-channel ASIO. WDM / MME, only channels 1 and 2 are supported. I am very annoyed ...

I mainly use this software to scan and mastering audio. In that context, it is unfortunate that this version does not yet have other functions mastering and audio restoration which mostly offset azimuthage qu'Audition has since version 3.0. Anyway, the RX Izotop Advenced I also used (but much more rarely) also.

It should just be careful NEVER save audio files during playback. In this case, it can record audio files empty (it's a bug).

OVERALL OPINION

This software (or at least this version), which is hard to dethrone, became a classic of the genre that should enter the Museum of software ^ ^

What I love in this version:
- Software Ultra-Light Motorized ^ ^
- Do not plant
- Precision in the waveform
- Very ergonomic
- To all the functions we need (almost)
- Runs on Windows 8 64-bit

I like a little less in this version:
- Do not support ASIO drivers AAAAARGLLL!! Not only supports the WDM / MME
- Lack of certain features which especially mastering a spell azimuthage
- Do not generate a PK file for 24-bit audio: loading time audio files involved is long ...
- In Multitrack mode, most of the changes to the audio files are so destructive
- The preset settings for each algorithm processing peuent not be saved in separate files.
