Missing features in Audition CS5.5

Ok, I have been playing around intensively with Audition CS5.5 for a few weeks now. Aside from the thing that SES to SESX import did not work natively (thanks Todd, for giving me the link, although I do think that it should have been included in the software in the first place), there are some other things that bug me.
Here's my top 4 (in order of personal importance):
1. GROUP CLIPS
This feature is missing. If you're working on a mix, you need to be able to move parts quickly, not risking screwing up parts that are OK. Manually selecting all clips and then moving them is timewise not very efficient. IMHO, we really shouldn't have to wait until CS6 for this feature to return...
2. LAYOUT
I keep hitting the vertical zoom sign whenever I want to zoom in horizontally. I use horizontal zooming much more than vertical. Of course you can use the + or - signs on the keyboard, but I find myself hitting the on-screen button time and again. In Au 3 they were in the "correct" position. And there's no way of adjusting the workspace so that I can place the buttons where I like them to be. I am so used to this on-screen layout, that I think it will take a long time to adjust to this.
3. CLIP TIME STRETCH
You can't drag clips to stretch them to a desired length. You do have an improved dialog for Strecth and Pitch (which I like), but you can't do it visually on the timeline.
4. PRE-LISTEN TRACKS
I Au 3 you could quickly sort through multiple effect tracks by pre-listening them using Auto-play in the import dialog to find that right type of swoosh you need from your sound collection. Now you can't, or you have to rely on Adobe Bridge.
I know that the Adobe Bug Report / Feature Request form is the best way to submit these (and I frequently use that), but I'm also curious if other sound editors deal with the same problems.

I believe no one has responded to the original post because all of these topics have been discussed in other threads since Audition CS 5.5 was released. We absolutely appreciate knowing which missing features are most important to our users so that we can place priority toward implementing them. While I can't divulge what features will be in Audition CS 6 at this time, I think it's safe to say that most of these requests will be satisfied.
Regarding the layout of the Zoom buttons, it is possible to display these buttons both within the standard Editor panel (the default view) and as a separate panel which can be positioned as you like. Click Window > Zoom in the menu bar to open this panel.

Audition CS5.5 is not working well with Microsoft Mouse "smooth scrolling" feature

Hi,
I'm testing with the Audition CS5.5 and found that the mouse scrolling (I use it mainly for zoom, zooming in and out to see the waveform) is just not working well and sluggish, and finally I figured out it somewhat related to the "smooth scrolling" of Microsoft Mouse. Anyone with the same problem? In fact the scrolling is working very well for Audition 3.0.1, I don't know why it fail for CS5.5.
Best regards,
Steve

The trial version is the same as the full version except
for the 30 day limitation.
I think on windows xp you need sp3 for cs5 to work as expected.
Anyway that's what is says here:

That may not be the problem, but it's a good place to start.
Also it's not a good idea to post your email on the forums.

Migration to Audition CS5.5

I just started using Audition CS5.5 coming from a background of using Audition 3 and even CoolEdit 2000.
There are a few important things I've notices that I can't do or seem to happen wrong with Audition CS5.5. Hopefully some can provide some insight or point me to an appropriate documentation page.
1) I see that I can zoom in on amplitude using the scroll wheel, but I can't pan up and down by clicking and dragging like I used to. Is there some new way to do this?
2) I work with WAV files that are in 32-bit floating point format. When I open them up using File -> Open, the sample values are clearly wrong. In fact changing between "Sample values" and "Normalized values" appears to have absolutely no effect. If I import my WAV as a raw file and specifically state that it is 32-bit floating point then everything looks OK. I never had this problem with older versions. Is there something I'm missing?
3) Is there a way to view or adjust the value of an individual sample? For example, I used to be able to double click a sample to see its exact value and then I could type in a new one. Alternately the UI let me drag a sample up or down to change its amplitude. Is this one of the features they "didn't get around to?"
Thanks in advance.

Durin:
Thanks for the information. As a follow-up, is there a way to change the HUD units to something other than dB, such as sample value? It would also be useful to be able to view the sample's exact value.
This actually leads into my biggest issue with CS5.5 (mentioned in my original post) where I can't pan the Y-axis in the time domain. I can zoom in to where I could get a "good enough" idea of a sample's exact value but it is still stuck centered around 0.0 with no way to move up or down (to view a peak, for example). Is there any way to do this (pan the Y axis)? I would say that, for the applications my company has for Audition, not being able to do this is a show-stopper.

Also, feel free to search in the forum as we may have already addressed the question for another user.

I, like the vast majority of consumers, am not a regular forum user. Anything Durin wrote would have been outside my scope of vision. I'm quite certain that the forum community is contributed to and read by only a VERY small portion of Audition users. I personally only came to these forums after I bought and returned CS5.5 in hopes that I could get across to the Adobe team the reason why I felt the need to get my money back. I've been using Audition (and CEP) for over a decade, and this is the first time there's been a release called an upgrade even though it has far less features than the previous version. Due diligence is great. That's why I read EVERYTHING on the product page, which calls this release an upgrade (despite it having less features than a downgrade to 1.5) and fails to mention the huge decrease in features. You'd think that'd be pertinent information to put up front and center on the product page.
I actually found that feature comparison chart after I had returned the purchase. I couldn't find it through on links on the actual product page though. It took a Google search. A feature comparison chart is standard on the product pages of most software. but Adobe had good reason to not make it readily available. In fact, there's not even a link to it in the ONE AND ONLY faq that mentions a feature reduction here: http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/faq.html. Faq stands for frequently asked questions. A quick look in the forum shows that there are certain other questions that are far more frequently asked than the ones that are currently posted in that faq.
Likewise, the FEATURES page mentions nothing of the missing features. http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/features.html
I value authentic and transparent companies. I should be able to expect an upgrade to be an upgrade and for any reputable company to inform me on the product page if otherwise. I practiced the amount of diligence appropriately due for such a purchase. Avoiding this would not have required due diligence, but excessive diligence, especially back in mid April, when I first pre-ordered the product.
My suggestions:
Make it clear on the product page that this version is missing A LOT of the features that are in prior versions and that have been a staple of the product line. This version may be quite good as a product of it's own, but not when it's billed as an upgrade to a product that had far more features. Explain more clearly that it's a rebuild and that it lacks many features.
Make the "feature comparison chart" a tab on the product page. It's more important than the current features tab, and more revealing than the reviews and faq tabs combined. Marketing teams should help people find what they want, not mislead them - through withheld information - into buying something they don't want. If the product is good, there's no reason to hide anything. A comprehensive reading of the product page will show anyone who's experienced this version that much of the relevant info about it is hidden.
Update the faq to address the questions that are actually most frequently asked, and not just questions that you want people to ask so you can give the happiest sugar coated answer you have up your sleeve. These questions should include:
What features are missing?
When will the features be re-implemented? Update, or future version? CS6? When's that expected?
How do I open Audition 3.0 sessions in CS5.5 (while preserving settings)?
What members of the Audition clientele is this best suited for, and which users would be better off waiting for the next upgrade?
Durin has definitely been great in clearing things up for us. Of course, that took people asking! I think if Durin was in charge of marketing there'd be happier customers (and probably less money wasted on the poor customer service system). It's not that difficult to just tell about the product as it is, warts and all. If the product has value, then there's no reason to hide the facts about it deep in the site. Just tell your costumers, in bold writing on the front of the product page, who amongst them the product is actually best suited for - and don't try to mislead the rest!!

How do you Auto Tune in Audition CS5.5

Cant find it.

May I suggest that you read this document? It will tell you exactly what features are not currently implemented in Audition CS5.5, and may save you some time. Yes, I'm afraid that auto-tuning is in the list.

Open / save .mp2 files in Audition CS5.5? [Not .mp3]

Anyone know how to open / save .mp2 files in Audition CS5.5? [Not .mp3]

a) costly for Adobe to implement
To make the CS5.5 deadline, and with the cross-platform rewrite, we simply weren't able to get to some things on our list (not that we ditched the features or anything).   However, MPEG 1 Layer II, and MPEG 2 Layer II have their own royalty issues that we have to pay for.
Wild_Duck wrote:b) they thought not many people needed it.
Not the case at all, we know many of our loyal radio customers need this functionality on a daily basis.   I do, however, have to admit that we saw this as less prevelant than .mp3 (when looking at our total customer base).

I keep meaning to make a list of things that use mp2 like radio playout systems, the Nagra field recorder, DAB files and so on so as to make more of a case. Any examples of mp2 need should be flagged up to Adobe.
Best thing to do would be to amass a set of test files such that if/when we support this, it can be more thoroughly tested in-house before we put it out the door.   I have a good set from various places, but we always get our best and trickiest test files from customers.

Adobe Audition CS5.5 with Premiere Pro CS5

Hello everybody.
I am considering downgrading from Master Collection CS5 to Adobe Production Premium CS5.5
But quite frankly it's just because of one application.
Though, i am in doubt if i'll actually going to make the downgrade.
And as you could and might have guessed it is the Adobe Audition CS5.5 Application.
Though really the whole pack has a GREAT improvement overall, I just actaully want to mix SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro and sound editing application (Audition).
Which leads me to my next question.
Now with Adobe Soundbooth CS5 closed off (by April 24th), and an UPGRADE for Soundbooth CS5 users to Audition CS5. Does this mean that Audition CS5.5 works SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro CS5?
Is there a dynamic link between the two applications? (Audition CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS5)
AM i able to send mixes between the two? I really don't want to loose any Audio data, such as 5.1 channel mapping, volume mixing, denoising, general mixing etc.
All i really need is some good quality sound editing which works seamless, as After Effects and Premiere Pro has proved to me can be done.
Just want to know if it is possible. Or if I REALLY have to upgrade in order to get the sweet apples.

Hi _durin_
Thanks for your quick response.
But I didn't quite understand your answer.
I have seen Jason Levine's video earlier, as CS5.5 was announced and it looks natively good. I understand the mixdown attributes etc.
Please correct me if im wrong HOWEVER this workflow and settings applies still to ONLY the new CS5.5 Version?
Im currently using Master Collection CS5.
Instead of getting either the Production Premium, or Master Collection I am strongly considering updating Soundbooth CS5 to Audition CS5.5 (the option is there as i can tell by SoundBooth's website, though i get a weird error message when I click the update link...)
However I need to know, IF Audition CS5.5 works well with the PREVIOUS version (that'll be CS5 not 5.5), of Premiere Pro.
Are there an option to render the reference video, and generate a interchange session from WITHIN Premiere Pro CS5 to Audition CS5.5?
Im sorry if I either sound harsh or "willingly" misunderstanding. But I have only documentation on how the integration works between the current versions (meaning 5.5).
Im as you can guess VERY confused over the move from Adobe to make a .5 version instead of a full-fledged CS6 solution. It causes a stir, cause I then don't know much of the integration between the previous applications.
I have seen as an example that Photoshop CS5 have gotten the update to receive paintings/files made with their new touch API. So I wonder whether integrational features will be a part of the CS5 pack since, as i've mentioned, an application like Soundbooth gets replaced with Audition, with an upgrade option for the Soundbooth owners.
Im confused and hope you can help me clear my mind up, whether to upgrade or not. I will download the trial eventually, but not onto my current CS5 system since I already use this in my daily video work and want to AVOID confusion.

I have not found any answers yet to solve this problem. Smooth Scroll Auditions CS5

I used to used Audition 3 and when recording or playing back the recorded wave form would be smooth and when it reaches the right hand edge of the screen it just smoothly continues. I have updated to Auditions CS5 and I cannot get it to do the same. It seem to jump back to leave more room instead on continually scrolling. In the preference option there is no option I can see to change this. The only option shows Playback but this seen to also just jump back to leave more room. Any idea where the setting it so make is smooth? Thanks in advance

Hello Ryclark.. The playback is the same as record. Unlike AD3, when the waveform gets to the right had side of the time line it JUMPS back to make room for the continuing recording where the recording is longer than the width of the screen. After an online chat with Adobe support ( who do not seem to know how their software works) , in the end they said that the new feature was for the Cursor and Waveform to Jump back to leave room for the continuation of the recording....unlike AD3 which smoothly scrolled the waveform. It is a step backwards and looks like a novice attempt... So if anyone wants to know if there is a solution to this backward step the Answer it NO. It is a new Jumpy flow layout. Seems like Adobe are getting like Microsoft,,,

Audition CS5.5 and Macbook pro performance

Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum. I’ll give you a little history as to how I got here.
Started off on CE2.0 then moved onto Audition 1.5 and now I’m on Audition 3.0
I know Audition like the back of my hand, It suits my workflow perfectly(well almost perfectly).
I found that I was reaching some limitations with Audition 3. A normal session for me would consist of 1 Midi track for the EZDrummer VSTi and then up to around 30 audio tracks. My genre is rock/indie/acoustic. Each track will generally have compression and reverb. My vocal track consists of Reverb, 2 compression effects(to compress and de-ess) and sometimes Antares Autotune.
What I found was that I could tell the system was starting to giveway, I was getting pops and clicks during playback, and I would have to start freezing tracks. I found that Antares Autotune was pushing my system, along with the Guitar Suite.
My main problems I found was comping tracks. I would need to create a new track for each vocal take, which ends up pushing the system even more.
I decided I needed to make a change. So I started looking for alternate DAW’s which had a “take” system. I was deciding between Logic or Protools. I’ve been running a PC setup since forever, so Logic would mean I would have to buy a Mac. I choose Logic 9 as I have witnessed my friend comp vocals on it, and it looked very user friendly, So I bought myself a Macbook Pro 15” with the i7 CPU.
So I’ve been using this setup for the last 2 months or so, and to be perfectly honest I miss Adobe Audition. Dont get me wrong, Logic is great, but it feels more like a toy compared to Audition. I feel more at home with Audition. More specifically the workflow, and the Studio Reverb plugin is the best reverb plugin I have EVER used. Not to mention the dynamics processor has great de-esser presets.
ANYWAY.
Its question time.
In Audition and more specifically Audition 5.5 Is there a built in “take” system which I’m not aware about? Or do we all just create a new track for each vocal take and comp that way? I don’t mind this way of Comping vocals, the problem lies when the system starts to pop and click due to having too many tracks. This brings me to my next question.
How is the performance of the Mac version of Audition 5.5 on a 15” i7 Macbook Pro with 4gig of ram? Unfortunately my trial period has run out, and I didn’t get much of a chance to push the system(I couldn’t open my .ses files).
Is there a way to convert .ses to .sesx? I tried converting to .xml and it didn’t carry over the plugins.
Can I extend my trial period of Audition 5.5 in anyway?
I really want to give Audition another shot if I can convert to .sesx with ease and have great performance with my Macbook pro.

Okay, I've spent some time this morning looking at Guitar Rig 5 in CS5.5 and CS6. Guitar Rig can install a lot of flavors of audio plug-in depending on your need. Audition only cares about the VST and Audio Unit (on Mac.)
There was an issue we found in Audition CS5.5 where some effects don't properly report their channelization. While not technically an Audition bug (it's part of the VST spec, I believe) we were not trapping these wayward plug-ins, which is why you saw Guitar Rig listed, but disabled. We addressed this issue in Audition CS6 by catching plug-ins that do not respond to channel requests as expected and assigning them as appropriate.
Guitar Rig is now enabled in Audition CS6 VST Effects List
More importantly, Audition CS6 opens up some pretty impressive effect channelization options which allow you to route the channels of a file into an effect in any manner you like. This allows you full control over which channel is assigned to which effect input, and which channel the output should be applied.
Feeding a 5.1 file into a Mono effect now enables precise control over channel routing.
Full control over 5.1 files into 5.1 effects as well. Any combination of channelizations and effects should work well.
Lastly, here's Guitar Rig 5 running in Audition CS6. While it definitely works, I do not recommend modifying this particular guitar track. Much like trying to pitch correct Freddie Mercury, Keith Richards guitar work does not benefit from additional processing

Audition CS5.5 is SoundBooth

I believe Adobe has pulled a fast one. Audition CS5.5 is really Soundbooth. The interface of SoundBooth CS4 and CS5 are identicle to Audition CS5.5 For those customers who never used Audition 3.0 would not know the difference. For me its disappointing and is a marketing ploy that Adobe only did away with the name Soundbooth, but it still exists under the name Audition CS5.5. All they did was put some(not all) of Audition's 3.0 features in what is really SoundBooth CS5.5. Don't take my word for it, do the comparison yourself. Compare Soundbooth CS4 and or CS5 to Audition CS5.5, what do you see when you look at the interface?

Hi Tcousins, I appreciate your very 'sound' advice (). I am not a sound
engineer. (I am a retired Intel engineer with a physics degree and I am not
very good in repeating any melody - although I enjoy music.) I edit home
movies, and have used the CS5 Soundboot to change the volume and length of
the audio on the menus. So, I guess, Audition is not for me :-). Thanks
again for your very professional advice. Best Regards, Laci.

Audition CS5.5 - How to go over 100% in Volume Envelope

So I'm trying to do a simple amplify envelope, with smooth louden and quieting, and the only envelope I can find is the Volume Envelope. But when I try using it, the maximum volume is 100% which is the original volume. The only tool I can find to make it actually louder is Amplify, which just makes the whole selection larger in decibels, with no volume curvature. I just want to smoothly lift the volume from 100% to something around 500%, and then smoothly let it back down to 100%.
How do I manage this?

What you did not explicate is that Audition CS5.5 does not support the feature - which is quite ridiculous since the earlier version CS4 does.
Anyhow, it still doesn't work; none of the options in the Normalization dialog allow me to lift the volume above 100%.
The only way I found to raise the volume is, as I already stated, is Amplify, which I already knew.
So, if the feature is not supported, then the issue has changed:
If I use Amplify, which is in decibels, then apply a Volume Envelope, which is in %, how do I confirm that the rest of the audio is being restored to its original volume?

Looping in Audition CS5.5

I've been using Audition for about 7 years now, and recently via BootCamp on my MacBook, so I was really excited when I found that Audition was being made available for Mac OSX. I use Audition for doing 20 - 30 minutes long mixes, but also remixes and mashups. The tool that has been the most essential has always been the 'Loop Properties' tool, where I could set the BPM and number of beats of a loop, making it possible to sample stuff from a bunch of songs and putting them all in identical tempo. This, however, seems completely impossible in Audition CS5.5, making Audition completely useless for me, and forcing me to move on to some other software. But before I invest a couple of hundred hours learning new software, is there 1: any way of doing what 'Loop properties' used to do? and 2: any reason to why 'Loop properties' was removed? and finally 3: will 'Loop properties' be reintroduced in any fashion in the next Audition version?
Thanks,
Samuel

If you read around the forum a bit, you'll discover that there are indeed quite a significant number of features of previous versions of audition that haven't made it into this, the first dual-platform release of Audition. And therein lies a bit of a clue as to why...

Adobe Audition CS5.5 - ReWire?

Simple question - where ReWire in that new version, are ReWire exist in that new version?
I'm using trial version & can't find ReWire like I'm found it in Audition 3!
Anyway guys, how to ReWire Reason???

I agree. Adobe already has SoundBooth. Upgrade that if you will and send the A/V guys there. But don't mess with the features I came to expect from AA3.0. No grouping of clips? Really????!!! Have you ever tried recording drums with more than one mic? Yeah, so has everyone else in the universe. And it sucks I have to edit those 8-10 tracks individually when I want to do the same edits and fades to the whole group. No MIDI... and no ReWire? Seriously? Pretty much every project I record uses a combination of MIDI and audio tracks these days. I mean, music is moving that direction. Most everyone uses virtual instruments sometime or another in their workflow, if for no other purpose than to easily set up and "audition" possibilities to be recorded later with session musicians. I can do without CD Burning and all that. It was nice, but whatever. I have used this program since it was Cool Edit Pro. I have loved it and was so excited about this performance upgrade. I had no idea that the price I was going to pay for a performance upgrade was $99 and the prospect of waiting until some time next year before I could migrate from Audition 3.0. That's IF they even get it right next year. I hope you guys up there are listening. Audition is for musicians. Always has been. Give us what we want, or we'll go to ProTools, which by the way no longer requires a DigiDesign interface. I hated them for their monopolistic practices and the fact that they obviously cared more about a dollar than serving the music community (proprietary plug-in format?... you suck). Now Adobe seems to have sold us a long-awaited "upgrade" while it was still, feature-wise, half-baked. I agree that the performance is greatly improved. But Adobe pulled a Vista on us. Windows 7.0, I hear, is as good as XP was and some may argue it is better. But Vista is a piece of poo. It was prematurely released to make some more money for Microsoft (since they have so little). I figured Adobe to be a little different. I have always loved Adobe. I have the Master Collection and use most everything on it. I upgraded to Audition CS5.5 without even a trial or much inquiry because I trusted that the upgrade would be at least as functional as what I already had. I can't even open my old sessions without a third-party program workaround (Ses2SesX). Michael at Suite Spot is awesome for making that happen, but without MIDI, this transition just isn't happening for me. I spent $99 dollars on an upgrade I might use for some mastering tasks. It is prohibitively retarded feature-wise for me to use it instead of AA3.0. Hope you invest my money well, Adobe. If you don't fix this by the next release, you're not getting any more of mine on this program... and I'm pretty sure alot of other musicians feel the same way. To recap this rant, here are some suggestions for 6.0:
1) MIDI or ReWire... whichever is most convenient for you. I assume the metronome and grid would be included if AA6.0 comprises MIDI, so I won't include that as a separate number.
2) Make everything backwards compatible. A real no-brainer there.
3) Clip grouping. This is, again, just ridiculously obvious.
4) Bring back manual pitch correction and clip time stretching in multi-track. These were really useful tools.
5) Give users who bought an upgrade to 5.5 a free or greatly discounted upgrade to 6.0. First, because this would restore my trust in your organization a little. Second, because this upgrade isn't an upgrade for me... I can't use this program for the projects I work on, and must continue for the time being with 3.0 (which I think, conceptually, is about as nearly perfect a DAW as has ever been).
Bottom line: Upgrade 3.0. Don't recreate it.

Audition cs5 vs Audition cc

I have a really powerful computer and I feel the 32bit version of audition cs5 is not running as fast as I would like.
I read that audtiion cc takes advantage of 64 bit archetecture and was wondering if there is some sort of comparison chart out there or any huge noticable performance difference.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't translate into anything meaningful at all. What's not running as fast?

There isn't a comparison chart for relative performance at all, and there won't ever be one. There are way too many variables between systems to make this anything other than a futile exercise. There are feature comparisons, certainly - but in terms of absolute performance, all I can tell you is that Audition CS6 and CC run at about the same speed on my 64-bit machine. And that's pretty damn fast. But, the reason for this is that the operations that take time are the ones involving HD transfers - and mine is an all-SSD machine. This makes far more difference in general than the processing power (whatever that actually translates into).

List of missing features in CC 2014 for film editors

hello everyone,
I was thinking about some features I miss in CC 2014 (and I really was hoping they will be there, because the most of them are just basics...) and made a list which I want to send (again...) to Adobe as feature request. Premiere improved a lot in last years, but there are still some basic functions which you absolutely need as a professional editor, which still aren`t implemented. What do you think about the list? or maybe did I overlook some of the new features in CC 2014? Just so you know, I`m using Premiere mostly for editing movies (shorts, but will edit my first feature film this year), also promotional films, but much more less. So my biggest concern right now is if Premiere is the right choice for editing a feature, which of course means a lot of material, probably Red Raw.
so here`s what I totally miss in Premiere:
1. auto sync/auto merge: synching by timecode or waveform all of the video and audio clips in the bin/in the timeline at once and not one after another. and merging them all at once, not one after another. it works of course, but it takes ages!
2. merged clips should be more flexible,
- it should be possible to use the option "interpret footage" on merged clips, sometimes you have to modify them after they were merged and you`re already editing for a long time.
- replacing raw footage should also replace the footage in the (already merged and edited in a timeline) merged clips
3. the aaf export is much too simple, there are a lot of options I miss there. it is great solve in Avid and in automatic duck in Final Cut, something like that would be great
4. the possibility to change color space in the project and play out. yes, this option is available in After Effects, but you can`t always use it, because there is some footage you can`t import in AE (like titles!)
5. .. which leads me to the last point: it should be possible to export the titles from Premiere with an alpha channel (I`m using the titles as the subtitles)
bugs that need to be fix:
- audio dropouts!
Are there any feature films editors here? what is your experience with working on big projects on premiere?

Since I don't know how to edit my own posts . . .
Another missing feature, automatically filling in formulas when a new row is created. For instance, say you have 3 columns, 1 + 2 = 3. In Office 2004, when I add a new row, that formula is automatically inserted. It's just one of those nice little time saving features that would be nice.
