History of Adobe Audition

Many seasoned producers and music recording artist are familiar with the words Cool Edit Pro. If you are a music producer or recording artist and you have no idea what those set of words mean let me school you real quick. Cool Edit Pro was a multi-track recording software owned by Syntillium.

*Cool Edit Pro was introduced in 1997 and was packed with features essential to professional digital audio production. The Adobe Audition Guide

The interface was very easy to use and won the favor of a very large community of users. Features included a support for up to 128 audio tracks: advanced loop mixing, unmatched wave editing power, professional DSP effects, mastering and analysis tools, audio restoration, a mulit-channel encoder for surround sound; as well as DirectX, MIDI and video support.

On May 19, 2003 Adobe Systems Incorporated announced an agreement to acquire the technology assets of the Syntrillium Software. Cool Edit Pro would join Adobe’s Premier digital video products line as Adobe Audition. Hello!

Adobe Audition recording software is without a doubt a world class experience all by itself. Adobe Audition has many great features so lets go over a couple!

• Highest quality audio Record, edit, and mix high-resolution 32-bit files using any sample rate up to 10MHz, including standard rates such as 44.1kHz (CD quality), 88.2kHz, 96kHz (DVD quality), and 192kHz.

• More than 5,000 royalty-free music loops Create your own music using more than 5,000 performance-based, royalty-free music loops. Styles include Rock, Techno, Classical, Reggae, and more.

• Audio restoration Restore old vinyl, remove hisses and hums, fix clipped audio, and recover previously unusable recordings with classic or automatic Click/Pop Eliminators, Noise Reduction, Hiss Reduction, and Clip Restoration effects.

• Frequency space editing Visually isolate and select sounds in frequency and time using a marquee selection tool in the spectral editing view, and then clean up, modify, or apply effects to the selected sound.

• Pitch correction Correct off-pitch performances and create pitch-based effects using the new pitch correction effects. Use the automatic mode for quick results or the manual mode for precise control. The Adobe Audition Guide

• New sample sessions Get up to speed quickly by using any of the 20 sample sessions included with Adobe Audition, or modify the sample sessions to create your own music.

• Vocal/instrumental extraction Reduce the vocal or instrumental portions of a track and create a cappella and karaoke-ready tracks while preserving the stereo image with the new Center Channel Extractor tool.

• High-quality sample rate conversions Use transparent sample rate conversions with customizable dither settings to ensure great-sounding results when converting material to 48kHz for CD material or 96kHz for video.

• Tempo and pitch processing Change tempo without shifting pitch—or shift pitch without changing tempo—without introducing audio artifacts.

• Professional delay effects Get rich reverbs, lush delays, thick choruses, and more with professional delay effects; hundreds of presets make it easy to get started.

• Group waveform normalization Convert multiple audio files to the same overall loudness. Each file is analyzed for average volume, peak volume, and frequency; amplification and limiting make the perceived loudness the same.

• Automatic beat detection Find and mark beats automatically. This makes new loop file creation a snap and greatly assists DJs and others who need to quickly match beats between multiple files.

• Smooth envelope transitions Adjust volume, pan, effects, and more for clips in a multitrack mix. Adjust curves using splines to produce gradual transitions, and rescale all envelope points to quickly make changes.
