Adobe Audition 1.5

Book excerpt: When Adobe acquired Syntrillium Software's digital audio editing software Cool Edit Pro, gave it a new name (Audition), and added content-sharing capabilities for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, it filled a big void in its home-studio software lineup. Here, to get you using Audition to create and edit audio tracks for your film, video, and DVD projects, is a self-paced guide from the instructional design experts at Adobe. Through a series of hands-on lessons, this comprehensive volume takes you step by step through Audition's enormous feature set, including its capabilities for recording, mixing, analyzing, looping, editing, and mastering audio. Each lesson builds on the last and includes a project you can create using the files on the accompanying CD. Review questions reinforce what you've learned so that by the end of the volume, you should have a solid mastery of Audition's noise reduction and audio restoration features, sophisticated spectrum and phase--analysis tools, extensive sound-editing capabilities, high-quality effects, and more.
