This is really quite poor for a professional product and will be a genuine dealbreaker for some users. Most worryingly, it doesn't open SES files from previous versions - the workaround is to resave them in Audition 3 as XML files… but then you lose all your effects settings. Some were outdated and won't be missed, but we miss Pan/Expand, Pitch Correction, Scientific Filters, and Click/Pop Eliminator, which is superseded by the less effective DeClicker. The (rather weak) MIDI features introduced in v3 are gone, as is CD burning. We were also unable to add to a spectral selection, which we hope is a bug as it makes spectral editing awkward. The latter was ideal for fixing digital glitches. Some absentees we noticed include the spectral phase/pan views, revert/reopen option, tone/noise generation, the Scrub tool (the new scrubbing system sounds poor and grainy), auditioning (oh, the irony!) in the File dialog, and single-sample adjustment.

Unfortunately, Audition CS5.5's code rewrite has left some features by the wayside.Īdobe gives a list on its site of the main ones, and they're also taking user suggestions on which to bring over in future updates.

There are some decidedly professional new features, such as 5.1 surround support (including a Surround Reverb), greater integration with Adobe Premiere Pro and OMF support. The new Speech Leveler is spot on, transparently levelling inconsistent audio. The DeHummer is decent, though the (now absent) Notch Filters did much the same thing, and sometimes the other noise reduction options work better. The DeEsser is functional but does the job. It's as fast as you could hope for from an online system, though there's no mass download option, and you can only see ten search results per page. It offers all the musical loops and beds of Audition 3's Loopology DVD as well as a huge array of superb FX.

The new Resource Central panel lets you audition and download royalty-free samples from Adobe. The GUI has been pleasingly smartened up in general and has some useful new tricks, like simultaneous waveform/spectral view.

When we looked at Audition 3, we reckoned the app might benefit from features found in other Adobe products, such as a History panel for easy undo/redo - Audition now has this.

And the Mac version works great, by the way. Very impressive, and a real boon if time is money to you. Processes can now be applied in the background, so you can get on with editing other files in the meantime.
