What DAW Software is most compatible w/ Premier CS3?
Howdy-
I would like to record music, sound FX and midi information to my video projects. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good 3rd party program that is stable with CS3 or programs I should stay away from?Thanks!

Soundbooth is better integrated with Premiere CS3 (right click on clip in Premiere to open in Soundbooth; save in Soundbooth to send changes back to Premiere); but Adobe Audition is much more comprehensive – a great DAW program now with fairly decent MIDI support.

Here’s the reality: Audition is worlds better at processing and tweaking audio files than is SB. The catch is, that when Adobe came out with CS3 and decided to include the watered down editor SB, they chose to blow off all the users who are experienced in Audition and prefer it. Hold on Cow, don’t censor me. Here’s the proof: In CS3 there’s NO WAY to tweak user preferences so that you can “round-trip” process audio tracks in Audition (or at least, none I can find in the software, or in the Adobe or Creative Cow forums!).
I’m afraid Adobe’s become the arrogant Microsoft of creative software by presuming to “know” better than I do, how I want my software to work for me. In this context, Adobe forces me to use SB, or do without the “round trip” feature, which is one of the reasons I bought CS2 Production Suite in the first place!!! Many users like SB for its simplicity (plenty of blogs attest to that, and that’s fine if SB works for you) but anyone who’s used Audition for any period of time knows: Soundbooth is a neutered dog. Slower, NOT optimized for the computer’s full processing capability so processing many tasks takes FAR longer than it needs to (trust me, I’ve compared it to Audition).
ADOBE: GIVE ME MY OPTIONS! I OWN AUDITION—LET ME USE IT!!!
