There’s quite a lot more in Audition, too, making it practically a DAW. You can even play HD video right in the editor without transcoding, and you get session management, broadcast-compliance, and speech alignment features that will appeal to video workflows.
And true to its lineage with sibling Premiere, there’s lots of video-style editing and post-production power.
It brings the best-loved editing power of the Windows version, at last, to the Mac. Adobe Audition survives even as Soundbooth is gone.Audiofile Engineering Wave Editor: $79 buys you some seriously-powerful features, from iZotope sound engine and advanced sample rate conversion to mastering features, unique “smart edit” and layer-based editing, and others.It also admirably handles just about any file you can throw at it. With multitrack editing, batch processing, and repair, it does what Peak did but often more easily and at a fraction of the price. If you haven’t used it lately, it’s gotten a complete overhaul and cleaner, prettier, more usable UI.
Amadeus Pro II is $59.99, also on the Mac App Store.Today, it’s a remarkably mature, elegant, and easy-to-use audio tool, and it’s just US$29.99 on the Mac App Store.
This is literally the first tool (alongside SoundHack) I ever used on Mac OS X, back when … it didn’t run anything else.
