It's more of an wave editor so it functions very well for podcasters. Audition is used heavily in the Radio Industry and has a better workflow for things like podcasting compared to something like Logic which is more musically focused.
Got a tip for us?

I've been waiting for this day for a long long time. So far it runs quite smooth and feels nice.

THIS GUY HAS TO LAY OFF THE CAFFEIN. wow son.

Jason, the narrator in the video and the Adobe Evangelist for video and audio tools, really is as gregarious and friendly as he sounds in that video. I could do no more to stop his rampaging rhinos of friendship than I could turn off a tornado. I'd much rather have his particular brand of, umm, enthusiasm behind our product than some boring, milquetoast monotoner discussing things.
Besides, that video was made several months ago. He's got a few newer videos about the public beta available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/audition/videos.html and is much more restrained and calming.
I chatted with this guy at the International Broadcasters Conference in Amsterdam this year and he's a little bit more relaxed in person but still super passionate about the software.
Oh come on, be nice. He seems very excited about this product and very genuine. Wow, the world certainly puts themselves at risk to be bashed when they go on the internet, especially when they don't deserve it.
Cool, they are still developing for the Mac
Guess you didn't get the memo when Photoshop CS5, After Effects CS5, and Premiere Pro CS5 recently came out on Mac - with full 64 bit Cocoa support.

Yup, which is more than we can say for Apple's FCS!
This public beta preview is a time-limited, free release. No money, no dongles, no license requests, no restrictions. It will stop launching sometime after the final product is released for sale, but any content you create with this will still be available and will work fine with the official release.
Edit: I saw you edited your post about a 30-day trial. This public beta preview is not a 30-day trial, but should function for several months. (I don't have an official release date for when the final version will be available for purchase, but I can guarantee it will not happen until sometime in 2011.)

A few questions...
Hi Durin,
No crafty insults here but I do have a few questions:
1. Will you make it easily roundtrip with Final Cut Pro? I realize that there will be tight Premiere integration but a lot of us use FCP on a regular basis and would not mind having an alternative to Soundtrack Pro if the integration is smooth.
2. Will there be a price break for current Adobe customers. I already paid my Adobe tax this year (upgraded to the CS5 Master Collection), so it would be nice if there's some type of discount there.
3. Not having played with it yet, does Audition allow me to save a group of effects, along with their settings, into a custom (virtual) rack that I can easily recall for quick recordings or batch processing? I do a lot of audio voice overs for online learning programs and that would be a big time saver.

Don't waste your time with this board. They all hate most of Adobe's product line until the day Jobs says otherwise. Until they follow their ruler's wish.
Those who have different opinion can get their Adobe dose somewhere else.
Thanks Adobe!
... for your ardent and unrelenting support of the Macintosh platform. Where would the Mac be without you?
I am sure you are porting all these apps just because you're nice.
Honestly, substitute that silly enthusiasm for a little solemn dignity and, cut that fanzy panzy stuff.

How can this be I ask you? I mean if you look at the rest of the forum every time MR posts something on Adobe, Mac users call Adobe a dying company that no longer innovates or develops competent products for OSX.
But they easily forget and forgive Jobs for not keeping up development on FCP and other pro-apps. So they will sing the praises until Uncle Jobs throws them another mail claiming the next pro-apps will blow our socks off.
For the users b*tching about Audition for Mac being 32bit, deal with it and remember that Adobe was the one that brought you 64bit professional media apps long before Jobs sent any email talking about buckling up.

1. This release already has support for importing Final Cut XML sequences. The integration is obviously not as tight as it is between FC and STP, but you can easily export your Final Cut sequence to XML, import into Audition, then render mixdowns to be dropped back into your Final Cut timeline.
2. The release schedule hasn't been determined yet. I believe there are plans to address upgrade scenarios like you've described, but I don't have any part in those meetings. If I find out more information, I'll update this thread.
3. Yes, you can save presets for individual effects, or presets for a complete effects rack configuration. You can save these presets as Favorites which can be applied with a single click from the Favorites menu, or applied to a group of files in the Batch Process window.
doesn't work with my Core Duo running OSX 10.6.4
Can you describe what happens when you try to launch the application? Do you receive an error message? If you can provide more information to audbugs@adobe.com or in the Crash Reporter dialog that should appear shortly after it fails, we can hopefully determine what's happening.

How does that have anything to do with the fact that he sounds like he lives at starbucks?

I'm all for enthusiasm for your product and your company but that is a little bit different than sounding too familiar with the general public. The English speaking world is made of a number of different cultures with their own sensibilities let alone considering people from other nations who also speak and understand English as their second language.
He could keep his exuberance while showing a little bit more professionalism and respect towards the general public.
