Sneak Peek at a few of Audition’s new features
-
If you liked using STP with FCP 7, then you’ll like using Audition with Premiere Pro. If you do a lot of audio-only work, like comping VO tracks, noise reduction, etc. it’s a great editorial tool with any NLE.

This reminds me the roto brush in AE. AE isn’t the full roto tool, and an auto brush? Come on!!!!
It actually helped me in a huge way today as a spot failed the Harding test for the UK on a very unsuspecting shot. I used the rotobrush to isolate (and track) the problem area to reduce the change in luma. It worked really awesomely and got the spot delivered just in time.
Am I a rotoscope expert? No. Is the rotobrush going to replace Nuke or Fusion? No way. Did the rotobrush work really well for me? Yes. I was very pleased, and the spot passed.

Rotobrush rocks. I just did a series of VFX shots for a set of local TV station news promos. Hero shot of anchors in real-time against time lapse (high-speed) newsroom activity behind them. Two motion control passes (one at 24fps the other a 1fps) and no keying screen at all. Rotobrush and a few custom masks worked perfectly to isolate the real-time talent. Definitely rocket science and one of those things that Adobe simply excels at.

It really impressed me today.
I’ve used it before on much simpler material, but today’s gig was a bit more difficult, and it worked really really well.
Rocket science, indeed.

I was heavily in to Cakewalk and then Sonar a decade ago. Really great software. I only moved off of it because on my rather forced move to the Mac. I was also a big fan of all the Sonic Foundry (now Sony) stuff.

I do. Good to hear.

Ah, the joys of the Harding test!

I have a PC networked to my Mac mostly so I can still use Sound Forge, my swiss army knife of audio editing and processing. Great program.

“Indeed. I kept a PC going that way for a few years, but entropy finally broke the bridge. I also got quite a bit of use out of Acid.

[Chris Harlan] “It is a little curio/gimick feature. But so what? If it actually works, it will make my life easier 5-15 times a year. And it comes free in a suite I will buy whether it is there or not. Its not like Audition–however cool its Cool Edit foundation–is going to become my main DAW. I mean, how about a little perspective here.”
I was hoping to provide a little perspective. This feature has been touted for the past six months. There was a sneak peek half a year ago then this second peek. Audio facilities that specialise in ADR have a whole heap of equipment including software to record and fit ADR. Editors should not be expecting to do this, so software to do this will have some but not a lot of usage.
Herb’s example of replacing a word because of an overlap is something I do a lot but it is usually a problem of intonation and matching background ambience, not sync. I rarely do ADR, although I am setup for it and I don’t have software to resync like this but even for me, I doubt this software will be used much at all, certainly not in 99% of cases of single word replacement.
So my perspective as an audio & online/grade post facility is that this software will have limited use for me and most editors, so rather than push this sort of feature or have lots of R&D devoted to it, Adobe might well concentrate on other areas of audio editing that are really common and could do with development like sound effect library management. I am swaying towards the CS6 suite so I am more interested in how well it does the basics.
