  • Are there single instruments in Audition?

    I’ve been using Final Cut Studio for years but with the introduction of Final Cut X, I’ve decided to switch to the Adobe suite of apps (CS 5.5). Apple’s Soundtrack provided individual instruments with which you could create music. I don’t see any individual instruments in Audition. There are several loops, sound effects, and beds, but no individual instruments. Am I missing something?

    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    No, I don’t think Audition CS5.5 has VSTi/MIDI support, I know CS6 doesn’t for sure. It’s mostly a side effect of updating the code base to support Mac, as Audition was predominately a Windows program. They also use to have ReWire support but that’s been dropped in the interim as well.

    Use the wish form, let them know you want it.

    I think that, more than the fact that it was a Windows program, was the fact that Audition was made as a professional DAW, not as a sequencer, or loop maker, the likes of Garage Band, Cakewalk, Acid, music creators as opposed to audio workstations. I know, there’s a fine line between the two, especially as software tries to do everything, but if you look at the history of Audition (Cool Edit Pro was its grandfather), you’ll see that it came from a purely audio editing, as opposed to music creation, place:

    I’m not a good enough musician to compose a soundtrack without way too many headaches. I’ll have to try Garage Band again or maybe go back to my G5 and use Soundtrack.

    Thanks for the input…
