When does Cubase 8 come out?

Mike,

Thanks Larry!

Like Dub said, Audition 1.5 was the peak before the fall. Ver 2 was a mess. Midi implimentation was a disaster. They took out midi in ver 3 rather than tackle the mess they created. Bugs abounded that never were fixed.
 
Ver 3 was supposedly more stable, but still forked up badly in critical areas.
 
Don't laugh or judge unless you have applied the technology. Major loss in current versions is the signal or tone generator.
 
Allowed the creation of growth stimulation files for plants, gardens outside or whatever inside the house.
 
Taken out after ver 3, which was a major loss to informed state of the art gardeners, using Audition to keep their crops and indoor plants healthy. Different form of music appreciated by a diferent audience.

I forgot about the tone generators. There were all kinds of incredible claims, from plant growing to insomnia treatment and mind control . Never saw any proof it worked but certainly not laughing.

Dub,
 
Too many beers to get a good response for now, but there was, is credible science behind what Adobe Audition offered outside the human spectrum of response. Mind blowing applications and laboratory objective proof that the fringe claims are real.. Audition didn't have a clue, but offered an incidental quirk tool that supported something phenomenal.
 
Will follow up with cold facts. When I can sober up and get some time off from work. Will relate some really neat stuff to ponder, that is transcendant and only far away as a couple mouse clicks.
 
Best to all,
 
John
 
 

Enjoy the rest of your beer time!

It was a loss when Syntrillium sold Cool Edit. That was great product. I got Audition. Gotta see which version it is. Still have Cool Edit Pro 2k also. Can't remember if I loaded it on the Win7 machine or not.

I'm a daily Audition user. Version 3. Started with version 1.5. I got a deal on it because my brother works at Adobe.
 
All I ever wanted out of it was the editing and analysis features because I already had a DAW. It's been outstanding in that regard. Noise removal, spectral editing, surgical equalization, tone generation, format conversion, phase and frequency analysis, RMS measurement, MP3 encoding. It's never crashed, can deal with any file format, and integrates nicely with SONAR. 
 
Adobe didn't add very many of those features, though. Cool Edit Pro does 90% of that stuff 90% as well. Adobe never had any interest in getting into the DAW business. It merely wanted to close a hole in its product line, namely a good audio editor to augment its main focus, which was video editing. (I also got a copy of Premier back then, but it sucked.)
 
People who had been using Audition as a DAW were furious at Adobe's betrayal. Most simply migrated to another DAW. But to this day, no DAW integrates editing features as well as Audition. Audition + SONAR has it all.
 
A shame it doesn't like Windows 8. But I understand; I don't like it either.

Just the mention of what Adobe did to Cool Edit Pro still gets me po'd. Was my first DAW and would still probably be with it otherwise. There was indeed collective rage.
 
I can't get ver 3 to even open in win 8.  Ver 1.5 opens but won't record on my win 8 system. It does open existing files so my workaround has been to render the wav files in Sonar, open and edit them in Audition 1.5. Hanging onto it as long as I can since can't find anything that does many of the functions better (anything that's affordable).
 
Will remember to get back with how you can use Audition to grow your house plants better. Amazing stuff.

I guess what adobe did to cool edit does not bother me nearly as much as what they did to other products they acquired. The binaural audio and midi stuff was either fringe or worked poorly. The abandonment of fireworks and gutting of Serious Magic products was far more destructive IMHO.
