![]() Adobe has nailed the consistency and, for me at least, the interface is very usable and attractive. That’s a good thing: while Apple has claimed that its pro apps work the same way, you’ll notice that Motion, Final Cut, Soundtrack, and Logic are all quite different. The basic interface is almost identical to Adobe Audition and the other Adobe media apps. Here’s a look at what it can do currently: Working with Soundbooth Beta There are clearly some features missing, but for basic work it’s already quite usable. In other words, it’s Audition for graphic artists. This sums up the goals: “While Adobe Audition is designed to give audio professionals in music, film, video, and radio a flexible audio production toolkit that can handle a broad range of audio engineering tasks, Adobe Soundbooth is focused on creative professionals without audio expertise, or those who prefer an application focused on making short work of the most common tasks they handle every day.” Audition 2.0 is currently my audio editor of choice on any platform: it’s got a great interface, lots of powerful effects, multitrack capabilities that will nonetheless get out of your way when you don’t want them, strong roundtrip workflows with Premiere (something that still doesn’t work quite right in Soundtrack/Final Cut), and fantastic editing tools including a full editable spectrum view.Īudition is a terrific editor, but it’s also overkill for lots of people - just like most audio editors on the market. Here, we’ll preview its functionality in a pre-release, feature incomplete state.Īcquisitions are often bad omens for software products, but in the case of Adobe purchasing Cool Edit Pro and transforming it into Audition, good things have been happening. Soundbooth won’t be released until early next year, but when it does hit, it could finally be the basic entry-level audio editor for which Mac and Windows users have been looking.
