Like most PC software, it is easy to install thanks to its setup.
I know Adobe Audition from the beginning (at the time when it was published by Syntrillum, it was called "Cool Edit" then "Cool Edit Pro"), there is only version 2.0 that I did not known.
Top new features over version 1.5:
<ul>
It supports protocol ASIO sound card drivers (unfortunately instead of input - output direct from the sound card)
Under Multitrack View, you can record MIDI notes in MIDI tracks (in version 1.5, you could that importing MIDI files)
It supports plug-ins and VST and VSTi soft synths!
It supports the ReWire protocol!
Among the new audio processing algorithms (so to Publisher), the main novelty is the phase corrector: in principle, no need to correct azimuth read heads an analog tape before scanning ^ ^
In addition to the spectral display (and the ordinary wave), two new types of displays have been added: Spectral Pan and Spectral Phase.
</ul>
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
First, the software has allourdi to a PC Pentium 4 2.8 GHz. It is still usable but it is better DualCore a 3 GHz or equivalent.
It is then disoriented because the interface changes completely, there are even some terms that also changes in the menus and commands without the command in question has changed operation. It is therefore necessary to navigate ^ ^
But once accustomed, it is simple and very effective, at least for the audio, the MIDI, there are still improvements to make! As such, I just spent ages to find where to select the MIDI interface selected: the button in question is just outside the window "Sequencer" and as there is no scroll bar in the window I just thought that all functions were present in the window while some of them which were outside the button when the window is too small! In addition, it is impossible to complete MIDI clips or to move or the splitter (the term here is "away") in the same way that the audio clips as it is for quite a long time even in the most basic of Cubase, impossible either to specify for each clip in the same track how and what synth preset assigned to it. In fact, MIDI tracks are devoid of clips, you can make changes in the summary window sequencer track in question, but that's all, and it's a shame! In addition, we are forced to play the software in order to get along just when played on a synth just for fun or to repeat, impossible to agree to play when the software is to STOP.
And synths that are only available in standalone version, and indeed for any other application of sound, how to save them in Adobe Audition? Well, I know, most of them are arranged in VSTi synths, but only in standalone version, it does exist, I've seen. It is unfortunate that the software can take as input only the source of the sound card, impossible to source a copy of the "output" audio virtual standalone synth. Adobe Audition should have a function (or should be delivered with a utility) between the virtual audio patchbay input - output and an additional audio streaming server. For it must be remembered that in the PC world, there is no utility for the Macintosh as SoundFlow - I begin to understand why the media are facias facias of the small apple ^ ^ - apart from the Virtual Audio Cable which is not terrible (his utility "Audio Repeater" comes with add too much latency, can not play music with!) and a ReaRoute I was not able to operate, too complicated.
And since it supports plug-ins DirectX, why does he not support, time that is, the format DXi synths?
on the other hand, it has a feature that I like and that I might use it every time when I work with soft synths, it must let him because it's a big positive point is the ability to include an audio output of said synthesizer, that's deadly! Because once the project is completed and it will store, instead of archiving the project used the synths, there's only store audio tracks produced by them, and that's super .
For audio, I would put a 9 out of 10 that held out for MIDI 7 of 10, the average is between 8 10 ^ ^
OVERALL OPINION
For pure audio, I would not change for anything, I am in the Adobe Audition no problem ^ ^ But for MIDI, I'd have to find myself something else like software.
