Midi Editor Macintosh

Solid collection of effects and restoration tools

Audition, the storied professional Windows audio editing application, has finally made its debut on the Mac—both as a separate $349 application and as part of Adobe’s $1,699 Production Premium and $2,599 Master Collection Creative Suite 5.5. ($99 upgrade pricing is available to those with any version of the now-discontinued Soundbooth and previous versions of Audition.) Adopting an interface similar to Soundbooth’s, Audition CS5.5 offers a greater variety of features and better performance. Despite its improvements, however, some audio pros and musicians will find Audition’s current implementation unacceptable because of its lack of support for control surfaces (hardware mixing boards used to control audio applications) and MIDI.

Audition has been a popular professional audio editing application for Windows for years. Based on Syntrillium Software’s Cool Edit Pro (acquired by Adobe in 2003), the current version has been rewritten, using Cool Edit’s code base. In addition to the features you’d expect from a professional audio editing application, Audition includes a broad collection of tools for cleaning and mixing audio, native 5.1 multichannel support, roundtrip Adobe Premier Pro editing, and support for OMF and XML import and export (allowing you to exchange projects with Avid’s Pro Tools and Apple’s Final Cut Pro). Like Soundbooth, Audition includes royalty-free soundtracks, sound effects, and loops, available through Adobe’s Resource Central. It’s also significantly more responsive than Soundbooth.

If you’ve used Soundbooth, Audition’s interface will seem familiar. Like Soundbooth, Audition offers two primary work environments—waveform and multitrack, which you select via menu commands, keyboard shortcuts, or by clicking tabs in the main Audition window. Surrounding the main panel you find smaller tabbed panels for file navigation, markers, effects, and video. You can call up additional panels for an audio mixer, amplitude statistics, and batch processor from the Window menu. You can undock any panel so that it becomes a separate window. Selection and editing buttons appear at the top of the window and transport controls appear near the bottom.

Within the Multitrack view you’re offered tools for moving, slicing, and selecting portions of clips. Within each track you find typical controls including volume, panning, mute, and solo. You can additionally choose an input source (stereo or mono) and, unlike Soundbooth, assign a track’s output to a specific device or bus. Also, unlike with Soundbooth, Audition allows you to assign markers in Multitrack view.
