Audition CS6 vs CC 2014 for podcast work (mac)

Here's what boils down to a financial question.
I'm going to be working on a podcast, that will be free and will never, ever earn any money.
I currently do not subscribe to CC - I understand Audition CC 2014 will cost me $20 a month, $240 yearly.
I have a friend who works for Adobe, and I may be able to get Audition CS6 for something like a one time $40
For the kind of work I'm likely to need to do (editing podcasts to make them sound good) is Audition CS6 likely to be good enough, or is there enough new stuff in CC 2014 to justify an ongoing yearly expense?
I've also looked at Audacity which honestly wasn't bad, but it lacks some functionality, and I think my workflow might be better with Audition.
So while I'd like to keep the cost down, I am willing to spend a little money if it will make my life easier and make it better to produce a quality podcast quickly.

There's nothing at all in CC2014 that will make it any better than CS6, no. CS6 will do an excellent job of podcasts - as would Audition 3...

  • Lightroom 5.5 DNG "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 doesn't work (Mac)

    I just upgraded to Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 2014 today, and now in Lightroom when I select a DNG file and click "Edit In Photoshop CC 2014", Photoshop appears but nothing else happens. The file doesn't open.
    I can copy the DNG file to my desktop and open it with Photoshop directly and that works. Also, selecting a PSD file in Lightroom and doing "Edit In" Photoshop works. Only with DNG files does "Edit In" not work.
    This was working before today's big update.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Lightroom 5.5 (Camera Raw 8.5)
    Photoshop 2014.0.0 (Camera Raw 8.5.0.236)
    Mac OS X 10.9.3

    This worked~!~
    I used this solution:
    Solution 2: Run a repair mode installation of Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
    On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
    Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
    Click Yes, install this version.
    When you have run this, CC says you need to update Bridge and CC2014. I ran the Bridge update and then tested LR edit in. It said I still needed ACR 8.6 which I already had.
    Downloaded a clean copy of ACR 8.6/DNG Converter 8.6 and installed.
    The LR edit-in is working; CC says all up to date!
    Thanks for the solution!!

    Before downloading CS4 again, how do I uninstall the versions that are currently on my Mac?
    Many thanks for your help!

  • Premier Pro 2014 opens Audition CS6 when editing audio clip from Premier

    I own Adobe CS6 Master Collection installed (for legacy projects) and I also have the CC subscription. When I am running Premier Pro CC 2014 and then try to edit an audio clip in Audition the CS6 version of Audition loads rather than the CC 2014 version. Any help or thoughts on why this is happening would be appreciated.

    I detected this with photoshop--I think its an OS issue--The OS doesn't appear to recognize the two versions are different.  In my case, I had PSP CC loaded, but then loaded the 32 bit version of PSP CS6 (so I could scan directly into the program using "IMPORT")  Windows changed the default to the 32 bit version.  When I tried to change default using windows, windows would not show the CC version as an option--just the 32 bit version.  Without editing the registry, I couldn't find a way to force windows to ignore the 32 bit version and open the CC version.  My workaround was to always open the CC version from the icon and then click on the file I wanted open.  It appears that if any version of the program is already running, the recognized default won't open.  This might work for you on Audition.

  • Audition CS6 working with Mavericks 10.9.4

    Hello,
    I am considering purchasing Audition CS6 outright instead of the subscription as the outlay with CC stacks up fast for a single app user.
    Can anyone tell me if there are any issues using Audition CS6 with Mavericks 10.9.4? How long do you think I would be able to use this version of the software before running into compatibility issues?
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Hi,
    I cannot answer your direct question, but I can tell you that, while I was on a Mac and went from CS6 to CC and CC 2014, the advances were huge...I could never imagine going back to CS6. If you use any elements of the suite, I would highly recommend the CC membership $30/mnth for the 1st year, $50/m after. It's a great write off / operating expense...about the price of a cell phone...would you go without a phone?  Plus, you would never have to worry about OS compatibility with future releases.
    My two cents..

  • Audition CS6 Help menu not working

    I have downloaded Audition CS6. When I go to 'Help' i get error 10. Is there no help file with the trial?

    Hi All,
    I found this on the web and it works!
    <http://forums.adobe.com/message/4417566#4417566> CS6 Help Menu Not Working
    This does not apply to one application, but is a suite wide fix.
    I had been running the CS6 Master Collection trial download version and the help menu, specifically the online "Help" and "Support Center" listed on the main help menu dropdowns of all applications within the suite, was not working, able to connect, or an error that the folder did not exist (apparently corrupted).
    Once I just got the CS6 Master Collection (DVDs) I uninstalled the trials, then installed the hard copy version, with the normal reboot in between. The Help menus still did not work.
    This is what I'm running. : Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    I called Adobe support and the following was my solution for both my desktop and netbook with this problem.
    1.    Close all running Adobe applications.
    2.    In the directory C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/  Delete the "Adobe Help" folder.
    (C:Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Help/)
    3.    Reboot
    4.    Then go to Adobe.com/support/chc/   (this is the "community help center")
    5.    Click under "Step 2" the "Install Now*" button.
    6.    On one of the windows that open there is a Preferences drop down menu. Select the one that allows online help connection as well as local.
    7.    Click "download" to begin the folder download. The downloaded folders are more than 1 GB for the CS6 Master Suite help files. Watch at the bottom left of the download window to see the small progress meter.
    8.    Once done, reboot.
    My CS6 Master Collection help menus throughout were fixed by completing the above.
    Thanks Tom! ...at Adobe support for this fix procedure.
    I hope this helps someone else out there.

    I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

    When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

  • Help needed in getting my Alesis Multimix Firewire 16 to work with Audition CS6

    I've just bought a new Fujitsu AH 532 Lifebook Laptop with a Windows 8, 64 bit OS. I've installed my Adobe Audition CS6 on it and I've connected my Alesis Multimix 16 Firewire to it via my StarTech 34mm Firewire Express Card which has a Texas Instrument Chipset. AA CS6 sees the mixer but only allows a stereo track input but it also does not want to record. I've attached some images of the audio channel mapping, audio hardware setup, and also the multitrack recording view. Also I'm using the Alesis Windows 7 driver for the mixer. You will also see that I cannot select the sample rate in the audio hardware setup panel, the sample rate is stuck on zero. In the multitrack view there's no signal when I press the record button.
    All suggestions and help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Donovan.

    It's probably nothing but this is from the Windows Dev Center
    "In Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), and Windows 98, audio drivers conform to the Windows Driver Model (WDM) and make use of the kernel streaming (KS) components, which operate in kernel mode and are part of the operating system."
    I don't see any mention of Windows 8 - maybe nothing?
    Just a thought - why not try the asio4all driver just to see if it makes a difference?
    You can install it and then select that driver in Audition - you can always switch back

  • My Adobe Audition CS6 is not working

    I have Adobe Audition CS6 and when I want to play something or record it doesn't work, and when I go to "preferences" my notebook just restarts, what can I do?

    If it's only Audition which crashes your notebook, then uninstall and reinstall it.
    But by the sound of it, there's something rather more fundamental wrong with the notebook; Audition is a pretty solid bit of code, and Windows has improved to the extent that it can catch program crashes and just send error reports.

    Hi, I am working with CS6 Design Standard for Mac, I bought from Adobe a DVD with the Software. I installed it already on my mac book. Soon I wanna buy a second computer for my work. When I bought the software I was told that it is possible to install the software on a second computer. But I also read lately that I will only be allowed to work with one computer. I want to work on both of my computers without de/installing and de/activating the software every time. Is this possible? Thank you!!

    You should be able to install the products on two computers as long as they are not running at same. Also the platform should be MAC.
    You may download the product from

  • Audition CS6 fails to load default i/o device - requires reboot to work

    We've got a workstation at our radio studio that runs Audition CS6, version 5.0.2, build 7 under Windows XP SP3.  It uses a Digigram VX222v2 sound card as its default with an ASIO driver.
    The problem...
    The production engineer will open the program and get the following error message:
    "Loading the default input and output devices failed.   The device could not be opened.  Would you like to review Audition's audio hardware preferences?"
    When clicking "OK," the operator gets a message that the driver or device is unavailable and the program defaults to the built-in Windows sound card and MME driver.  Only a complete system reboot will get things working again.  She has no other programs running on the system that use the Digigram card.
    Any thoughts?

    Is the "Use machine specific device defaults" box ticked in Preferences/Audio Hardware? This should ensure that the correct device is selected when Audition starts. Also make sure that "Release ASIO driver in background" is not ticked.
