I'm a HUGE fan of Audition/Cool Edit...I, too, have been using it for well over a decade, and it's the last reason for a partition on our MacPro in the studio. VERY happy to play with the Beta Release. In fact, I didn't get much sleep last nightThanks Adobe...and Thank you Durin for participating! Much appreciated.
No problem. I'm very excited to finally get this into the open.
I mentioned this on the Adobe forum as well...one of my most used keyboard shortcuts is Ctrl-M (on PC) to "Insert in to MultiTrack" from the Edit screen. I searched shortcuts and couldn't find it anywhere (even to address my own shortcut). I know everyone here at the radio station is also a Ctrl-M fanAny chance to get this added?
The default shortcut for this is Shift+CMD+I. You can change this to whatever you'd like by clicking Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. Look under the group Edit > Insert into Session.
As far as transition from Beta to public release...will there be, as you've done with some of the creative suite upgrades...the possibility for those of us that have purchased the Windows version...to upgrade or cross-grade to the Mac version? Essentially eliminating our PC license for the Mac License?
I don't know the answer to this. If the folks responsible for planning the sales and upgrade support have worked this plan out already, it hasn't made it down the pipe to me yet. Since this is a new release, my guess is that you'll be able to upgrade from previous versions of Audition, no matter if they were Windows-based licenses.
I'm actually (and have been for 15 years), an employee of Clear Channel. We use Audition solely in our market for editing...and along with my air-shift and production duties, I also edit a morning show daily for syndication. I had my engineer post a company wide IT email this morning in hopes of getting other producers on board with the Beta to share stories between markets...it's been a long time coming!!! There are a LOT of us, albeit maybe quietly...excited for this release.
Glad it's getting some eyes over at Clear Channel. I know you guys use Audition on Windows a lot, so if we can help spread a little gospel to the Mac users there, that's great.
