Does Mac equivalent  to Adobe Audition/CoolEdit Pro exist?

Audacity lacks the feature set though the price point makes it attractive.
The versions of Bias Peak I've used are slow & cumbersome and don't have multitrack editing capabilities.
Bias Deck has multitrack support but still requires you to have Bias Peak for hardcore editing of each track.
Anything with a reasonable learning curve (a preferably reasonably priced) that's full-featured and as fast as CoolEdit Pro/Audition.
As for what I'll be doing, I'd like to start producing my radio at home and would need to edit promotional spots, layer tracks, open/merge multiple audio files, apply filters, fade transitions to individual tracks, normalizing, exporting as AIFF, WAV, or mp3

GarageBand should be your first stop. Haven't used it much myself, but I'm pretty sure it does a lot of what you described. Also comes with a library of royalty free sample loops that are good for making musical beds or sound effects. It's bundled as part of the iLife suite on your MacBook Pro.
For a more advanced tools, look at Logic Express or Logic Pro. (Soundtrack Pro is also a very capable multi-track editor, but is only available with the Final Cut Studio bundle).

  • How much does a multi-user Adobe Acrobat XI Pro cost?

    How much does a multi-user Adobe Acrobat XI Pro cost?

    It has already been said, but just to clarify the updates are what you would seem to call a minor update. The upgrades to a new major number (1>2>3>4>5>6>7>8>9>X>XI>??) are what you seem to call major updates. The upgrades are not free, but the updates are. Sorry for the numbering, I could not resist. I have been using Acrobat since version 2.

  • Adobe Audition to Pro Tools

    I've got a client who wants me to mix his songs which he recorded in  Adobe Audition. I use Pro Tools to mix and haven't used Audition, since it was  Cool Edit Pro, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience here to  help me.
    I need to consolidate all of his tracks to start at the zero point so I  can load them into my editor in sync. I would like to do it with out  buying any additional software.  Is there an easy way of doing this?  Also, where does Audition save audio files to, one big folder or  individual folders like Pro Tools does?
    I've glanced at the online Audition manual, but haven't seemed to figure  out what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Audition saves files to wherever you specify - there are no restrictions on this, although why should this be an issue? Audition will export files directly in PT's restricted 24-bit format as well if needed (Audition's norm is 32-bit floating point). If the files were recorded in MV from the start point they will be in sync anyway, and if they weren't, then you would need to import the session file to locate them correctly. If you want to import the session, then there's only one tool that will do this as far as I'm aware, and that's version 3 of AAtranslator. This will work if you are using PT5, certainly.
    Of course the other thing you could do is give yourself a real treat and download the trial of Audition 3, which will run without any restrictions for a month, and try doing the mix with that!

    I just paid for and downloaded the wrong version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I downloaded the Microsoft version and I have a Mac running OX Yosemite. How do I get a credit for what I ordered and then reorder the correct Mac version of Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    If you ordered Acrobat via subscription, then you can use either Windows or Mac version.  Just download/install the Mac version, then activate it with your Adobe ID.
    If you purchased the perpetual license, then you need to Contact Customer Care bu chat or phone.

  • My adobe acrobat 9 pro is not responding

    I have had Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro installed for 3 years now.  Then I got a message that I had to uninstall and reinstall which I did.  However, Adobe is not responding when I try to move around a PDF or try to print a page.  Any ideas?  Does my purchase of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro expire?  @

  • Moving adobe acrobat x pro to larger drive D (off ssd2 drive C) - what are the steps needed

    I have Win7, only 4 GB left on my SSD drive C and a large regular drive D. My programs are on drive C (which includes Master CS6 and Adobe acrobat X Pro) and documents/pictures are on drive D and I still need to clear out room on drive C. Before I buy a larger drive C SSD, can I :
    Move Adobe Acrobat X Pro program to drive D by uninstalling on drive C and reinstalling it on Drive D?
    Do I need to move the program CS6 Master collection to the same drive that adobe Acrobat X Pro exists?
    Does Adobe Acrobat X Pro need me to move any other programs from C to D in order to work - if uninstall on drive C and reinstall on drive D doesn't take care of all supporting files?
    if I am able to move Acrobat X Pro to drive D, will my documents know the path or is there a way to make sure that everything reroutes to drive D?
    Will Acrobat X Pro updates find the program if it is on drive D, or is there something to direct updates to the new location, if I am able to move X Pro to drive D?
    I need step by step examples, even though I know web design and xhtml/css/php/js coding, hardware and this kind of cleaning up intimidates me.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    You can sometimes move software by uninstalling and reinstalling. However ON NO ACCOUNT uninstall Acrobat that is part of Creative Suite, because it is a devil of a job to reinstall. Use only Creative Suite installer; not sure if it can install to another disk.
    If the software is installed to another location it should just work with nothing to fix.
    But the savings may be much smaller than you think. Only a little of the disk space used is in the selected disk. Some is in Common Files, which doesn't move, and much more is in the Windows Installer Database, which doesn't move.
    I would look for other savings than moving software.

  • Adobe Audition 6.0 is Crashing Auto Heal

    Has anyone experienced this with MAC version of Adobe Audition 6.0?  When using the Auto Heal tool, the software constantly crashes after applying an edit with tool.  Is there a patch or fix?  This happens often, in fact everytime I use the software.

    There is a patch - but whether it will fix your particular problem, I don't know.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Mac does not select duplex print by default

    I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.8 for Mac. When I print a document, Acrobat does not select duplex print (i.e. "Print on both sides") by default. While I can manually select duplex print, I don't understand why this isn't the default option here as in every other application. Just for reference, here is a screen shot of my default print screen:
    I have played around with duplex printing in the advanced properties of PDF's. I have also played around with the DuplexMode property in the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file. Actually, there is no DuplexMode property in the file, but I tried making one, which didn't solve the problem. There is a printBookletDuplexMode property but that doesn't seem to make a different. In any case, nothing has worked.
    There are some similar questions on the forums, but they are either slightly different or haven't been answered. Is this such a difficult issue?
    Thanks for any help,
    Jonathan
    Message was edited by: jondaman21. Small clarification to what I've tried.

    I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
    However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

  • Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?

    Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?  I've updated everything, and there are no other issues.  It is OS X and Audition CS6.  When I'm mixing a track, it will just shut down with a crash notice.  Very frustrating.

    Hi,
    What is the crash notice you receive?  OS X is very good about keeping extensive, detailed crash logs.  If you launch Applications > Utilities > Console.app  and open the "User Diagnostic Reports" group on the left, can you drag the most recent Audition crash report into an e-mail to [email protected] ?  The contents of that file should make it more clear to us why Audiiton or the OS thinks a crash is happening and will help focus troubleshooting.

  • Premiere Pro to Adobe Audition Dynamic link does not work. Cannot edit audio in Audition.

    Trying to edit Audio from Premiere Pro within Audition thru the Dynamic link but it does not fire up Audition to edit. Seems like a common problem/bug. But no one has posted a solution. Please Help
    -Windows 7
    -Premiere Pro CC 2014
    -Adobe Audition CC 2014

    You dont understand it was all working fine in the previous Adobe versions. matter of fact you can go on youtube and see a couple of videos that shows the work flow between Premiere Pro and audition by way of Dynamic link. If you edit a video clip in Premier Pro and want to add some music or simply edit the audio that is contained in the video there was a time within Premiere Pro you can just right click "Edit in Adobe Audition" and Audition would open with the audio clip in place. Much in the same way Premiere Pro works with After Effects thru the Dynamic Link. The Dynamic Link is the bridge between applications to work with each other. For some reason Premiere Pro and Audition Dynamic Link is not working properly.

  • Does Logic Pro X have spectrographic editing like Adobe Audition?

    I'm an actor who needs to be able to record my voice and then clean up the audio to remove extraneous throat and tongue noise from the recording. The best way to do this is using spectrographic editing. Adobe Audition has this feature, but it's much more expensive than Logic.
    Does anyone know if Logic Pro X has that spectrographic editing capability?

    This is very true - the synths in Logic are good.  You may need to spend a little time getting the best out of them, but there are hundreds of videos on Youtube showing you how to do this.  Sylenth is awesome, I use it myself, but I also use all the synths in Logic too.
    There's a wider point here though.  There's a common feeling (and can apply to musicians of all ages, skill levels and genres) that if they get a particular piece of software, or kit that everybody else uses, they'll be able to make music just like those other people.  It's why guitarists (like myself) spend ages and a lot of money buying exactly the same model of guitar and amp as their musical hero.   But guess what - you still have to learn how to play!  And when you do, you end up sounding unoriginal because everybody's heard that tone a thousand times before.
    So my advice is, watch some tutorials and put them into practice - have a good play with what you've got in Logic first.  That'll take a while, so start saving now and then, if you really decide you need other sounds, you'll have a good head start.

  • Adobe Audition does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key.

    Adobe Audition CC does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key. It is after use audio hardware usb wi-fi headphone and return to build-it out. The program don't react now.
    I see problem:
    I am unable to get playback at all in CS6 on Mac. The play button or spacebar will not move the playhead or make sound come out of the foamy things with the magnets. The play button toggles back and forth between green and white, but it isn't working. This is true in both multi track and waveform view.
    Anyone have ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks!
    Some Info:
    MacBook Pro 2.2 i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
    Mac OS 10.8.3
    Audition CS6 5.0.2 Build 5
    and reply:
    Best bet would be to go into Preferences > Audio Hardware, verify your input and output devices are correct, and probably switch your Master Clock to the opposite setting.  If that fails, we can continue troubleshooting.
    I have the same problem as the author writes. But these actions do not help

    Unfortunately I believe that requires purchasing the new version, and I do
    not have budget approval for such a purchase.

    I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.
