Adobe Audition CS5.5 What’s New

Well-known in the industry as the go-to audio tool, Adobe Audition software now brings its

audio-for-video multitrack editing environment to the Mac. With best-in-class editing and

multitrack mixing tools, powerful sweetening options, and rock-solid performance, Adobe

Audition is the digital audio editor that audio and video professionals rely on to handle a

wide range of tasks quickly and efficiently.

A completely new high-performance audio playback engine leverages multicore processors to make

Adobe Audition CS5.5 a fast and powerful all-in-one editing and mixing environment — and now, for the

first time, it’s available on Mac OS. Flexible roundtrip editing with Adobe Premiere® Pro software and

integration with Adobe Flash® Professional and After Effects® software make Adobe Audition the ideal

choice for a wide range of audio production tasks, from formatting a single audio file to creating complex

multitrack 5.1 surround soundtracks. Open Media Framework Interchange (OMF) format import and

export lets you smoothly transport this audio editing power to other digital audio workstation (DAW)

environments such as Avid Pro Tools, and XML Interchange import and export support integrate Adobe

Audition into other nonlinear editor (NLE) environments. Adobe Audition CS5.5 makes working on

surround sound projects easier than ever with new native 5.1 multichannel file support, multichannel

mixing, and the intuitive Track Panner panel. Effects have been updated for application to surround

projects, and the new Surround Reverb is particularly useful in multichannel mixes.

Optimized to create soundtracks for rich media, fix audio problems quickly, and integrate smoothly into

cross-platform video editing environments, Adobe Audition CS5.5 is more valuable than ever for audio

and video editors.

New high-performance playback engine Completely rebuilt, the new Adobe Audition CS5.5 playback engine dramatically improves responsiveness on projects of all sizes while making it faster to open sessions and files—in many cases up to two and three times faster. Work on multiple multitrack sessions and single file edits simultaneously (see the Edit menu, pictured). Open and import files in the background—even files that need sample rate conversion—while you continue to work on open projects.
PAGE 4
Native multichannel support (5.1 surround) With native support for multichannel soundtracks, Adobe Audition makes it easy to create entirely new surround sound experiences or put the finishing touches on existing 5.1 projects—and save to a full 5.1 surround master. True 5.1 metering and effects are available on surround tracks and sessions in all modes, including the Multitrack Editor, Waveform Editor, and in the Mixer. Metering adapts to 5.
PAGE 5
New effects and enhanced effects workflows Adobe Audition includes many of the DSP effects you’ve long relied on, as well as several new ones including a DeHummer, DeEsser, Speech Volume Leveler, and Surround Reverb. The DeHummer lets you locate and remove constant-level noise sources, such as power line hum. The DeEsser removes vocal sibilance from interviews, dialogue, and voice-overs.
PAGE 6
Expanded library of royalty-free music beds and sound effects Kick-start your soundtrack with a large selection of royalty-free content. Adobe Audition CS5.5 offers access to more than 10,000 royalty-free sound effects through the Resource Central* panel. Drag and drop sound effects from Resource Central into your multitrack project to customize, combine, edit, and layer them.
PAGE 7
System requirements New History panel Mac OS Just as you can undo graphic edits you make to a photograph in Adobe Photoshop, you can easily roll back edits you make to waveforms and multitrack mixes to earlier states in the same session in Adobe Audition by using the new History panel.
