The program had been rewritten with a new engine, and integrated more tightly with other Adobe programs. After many years as a Windows‑only application, it's also been ported to Mac OS X.īetween the consecutive releases of Audition 3 and version 5.5 of the Creative Suite, a lot has changed. As such, it's present in both the CS5.5 Production Premium and Master Collection bundles, as well as being available as a stand-alone product. Now, Audition has incorporated elements of Soundbooth, and in the process become Adobe's sole audio editing package. At the same time, Adobe also marketed a separate, PC-only audio editing package, which found much use in radio studios: Audition, a comprehensive multitrack DAW and wave editor, began life as the popular Cool Edit Pro, before being purchased by Adobe in 2003, redeveloped and re‑branded. Until recently, some versions of the Creative Suite bundle included Soundbooth, a wave editor designed to prepare and edit audio for use with Premiere, Adobe's NLE (non‑linear editor for video). (The magazine you are reading was laid out using Adobe's InDesign.)

Many will be also aware that this program is now part of the wider Creative Suite of software, which includes digital illustration, video editing and compositing, web design, and even desktop publishing programs. I doubt there are many people who haven't heard of Photoshop, Adobe's ubiquitous image‑editing software. Does it have everything you need for audio post‑production? Adobe's audio editing package has been fully rewritten, ported to Mac OS and integrated into their Creative Suite.
