One of Adobe's best kept secrets: Audition Content Download! (With Soundbooth Files?)

I just learned about this yesterday from the cutting edge tour - that with audition you get tons of royalty free sound effects and audio clips.  I never knew that, but to me that should be advertised a bit more!
Anyhow, as I'm downloading these, I noticed the section called "Soundbooth Scores".  In those folders, there are .SBST files, which I learned are soundbooth files (I've never used soundbooth) .  This leaves me a bit perplexed since soundbooth is discontinued, and when I open them in Audition, I just get a waveform file.  Is that how it's supposed to open?  If so why not simply have a .wav file instead of the .SBST files?  Really cool stuff, just a bit confused if it's supposed to open some sort of multitrack project and I'm not doing it right?
Thanks!
(And thanks Adobe for the files!!)

Thanks!  Great to hear you enjoyed Adam's workshop tour!
Indeed, the additional content in Audition and Soundbooth has suffered from shifting tides in technology.  Audition itself, when it shipped on shiny disks, came with Loopology, an amazing collection of instrument loops and music beds recorded by Adobe Evangelist and long-haired musician, Jason Levine.  Later, when Soundbooth was the audio application in the Creative Suite, an in-app panel called Resource Central provided access to our collection of around 12,000+ sound effects and Soundbooth Scores - dynamic music projects which could intelligently recompose themselves based on duration and parameters, and offered some limited mixing options.
Around the time Soundbooth was discontinued, the Resource Central servers were as well as it was based upon Flash and some legacy server backends that were being retired.  To ensure users still had access to all this royalty-free content, it was moved to a download page on adobe.com and linked to in the application menu.
I have been in the process of creating a much nicer landing page for accessing this content, as well as fixing a few issues with the Soundbooth Scores bundles.  Expect some news about this very soon.
Edit:  Oh!  As for your question about Scores in Audition, the Score projects themselves were a proprietary SBST file, which contained the sequence details for the composition, and an Assets folder, which contains the loops and clips used to make up the overall song.  While Audition doesn't currently support SBSTs or Scores in general, you could conceivably re-arrange the assets to build compositions.  SBSTs ARE supported in Premiere Elements since 2013, I believe.
Have a great day!

  • Best kept secret??

    I'm beginning to think that the Fascinate is the best kept secret in the android community. With it's update to Froyo it is up to date with all the other phones. The display is unmatched as far as I'm concerned. And trust me when I say that I have been reading and following all the reviews on the androids both here and on the blogs. Unless you want to wait for Droid Charge at sometime in the future and need that front facing camera, the Fascinate is the prettiest phone around. I don't think HTC Motorola or iPhone can match the screen. I hope it stays free over on Best Buy til next month when I can upgrade. I don't need to vid chat. Coming from BB tour, I want one that is trustworthy and will, bottom line, work for calls. I live in Wisconsin and we rely heavily on VZW for connections. Especially in our rural areas which is where I live and drive. Make mine the White Fascinate!!

    So you were charged for the replacement??? Full price, no less. That is weird. Whenever I have had a warranty replacement(only once), I have not been charged.
    Warranty replacements are not really a secret. Any replacement made after the 14 day return period will be made with a refurbished device. This is per the manufacturers warranty which Verizon is simply facilitating for you. If you made the exchange at an Apple store, it is possible you would have received a new device, but it is not certain you would.
    From Apple's warranty:
    If during the Warranty Period you submit a valid claim to Apple or an AASP, Apple will, at its option, repair the Apple Product using new or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (ii) replace the Apple Product with a device that is at least functionally equivalent to the Apple Product and is formed from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (iii) exchange the Apple Product for a refund of your purchase price.

  • Re:  Adobe Audition Content Download

    I was instructed to post my question here by the Adobe telephone Customer Support:
    I have recently purchased Audition CS6.
    This provided me with downloadable music and effects through adobe.com, "Adobe Audition Content Download"  (Which referrs to "loopology" in the html address..)
    the site is:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=auditionloopology
    Adobe Telephone Customer Support has informed me that this audio collection IS royalty-free and attribution-free. 
    What they were not able to answer was this:
    Additionally, does this collection have a Cue Sheet requirement or any other legal restrictions for use in the broadcast arena?
    The EULA link for this collection points to a page that referrs to the entire Adobe product family.  I could not find legal information pertaining to this particular service anywhere on that page.
    Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    I think you'll find that 'attribution free' means exactly that - and we've always regarded it that way. I know the originator of some of it, and he has effectively waived all rights to what he did, so we are presuming that the same thing applies to all of it. This means that effectively, there are no broadcast restrictions, and no cue sheet requirements - although you might want to attribute the collection, just to stop questions, I suppose. I read through the Software Licence agreement, and the part of this that appears to be relevant is this:
    2.3 Content Files. Unless stated otherwise in the “Read-Me” files, Documentation, or other license(s) associated with the Content Files, Customer may use, display, modify, reproduce, and distribute any of the Content Files. However, Customer may not distribute the Content Files on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in circumstances in which the Content Files constitute the primary value of the product being distributed), and Customer may not claim any trademark rights in the Content Files or derivative works thereof. Nothing stated herein shall affect the ownership of the Software as stated in Section 3.
    So, if the read-me's don't say otherwise, you're good to go doing nothing!

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

    Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
    Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3,  crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
    This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
    As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
    As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
    This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
    Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
    Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
    If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
    You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
    P.S.
    Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

    I also discovered this behavior last summer.  Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles."  Source:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
    That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed.  If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine.  My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered.  So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
    After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on. 
    Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location.  At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips.  In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
    Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
    Wish I could offer you more.

  • Verizons best kept secret

    I purchased a new iPhone 6 plus when it first came out was on a waiting list to get one. after I received the phone in less than 2 weeks the phone died.
    T took the phone back to the Verizon store and they told me they would replace the phone but I had to wait until the manufacturer sends me a new device. In a week a new phone arrived (or I thought it was new). Recently I dropped my phone and cracked the glass so I took it to Verizon for repairs they told me that it would be cheaper for me to just go to apple and have the glass replaced. They provided me with the information and I was given an appointment four days later. One at the apple store the techinicians examined my phone and stated that it wasn't an apple product but a remanufactured phone from another company. They stated that they would not repair my phone because it didn't contain original apple parts. Also I was told Apple does not honor Verizon refurbished phones.
    Needless to say I am furious that Verizon didn't replace my original product with a new phone. After further investigation Verizon admits giving me a refurbished product because at the time there was a six week waiting list on iPhone 6 plus phones and they didn't think I wanted to wait that long.
    Now understand I was not made  aware of any of this nor did I know what they were doing. Verizon took it upon themselves to do this. So my phone was switched to a non original apple product. And Apple does not support remanufactured phones from Verizon. Originally Verizon told me that apple was wrong but after some time waiting on line they returned and verified that its correct that apple will not support remanufactured phones from Verizon.
    Of course this information was never told to the customer.
    Now the only solution Verizon has offered me was to go find another place to repair my phone or file a claim and get another remanufactured phone.    

    So you were charged for the replacement??? Full price, no less. That is weird. Whenever I have had a warranty replacement(only once), I have not been charged.

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:

  • Adobe photoshop cc 2014 won't close window with unsaved file

    Recently installed update to Photoshop via creative cloud. Photoshop works great but for some reason I am unable to close a window with an unsaved project. Pressing command-w or going to file close doesn't do anything. As soon as I save the file I can close the window or quit photoshop. Is this in the preferences? Please advice.
    thanks

    I'm having this same issue.  Can't close an unsaved file that has been opened, even if it is completely unedited.  When an unsaved file is present, I can't quit Photoshop, either.
    I'm on OSX 10.7.5  (yes, I know...it's aged), Photoshop CC.  Plenty of memory and disk space, so that's not the issue.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

  • Trial Adobe Audition Will Not Open PKF File

    I downloaded the Adobe Audition Trial software and I made two recordings. Six hours later I tried to open both files and got the following error message:"Error: File not supported by any currently registered plug-ins." THEY ARE PKF FILES!!! What happened? Is this forewarning of things to come if I buy Adobe Audition? One file is important and I would like to open it again so I can transcribe it to another audio format.

    blimpeople wrote:
    Whoa, you saved the day. I had no idea Adobe Audition automatically generated a .wav file. I didn't create a folder or a .wav file. Thanks.
    It doesn't - it's a pkf file that gets generated whenever you open anything at all in Audition. It doesn't get saved with all formats you could save to though - just wav files, which are the Audition default because that's what it uses internally. But, if you got a pkf file, then you sure as hell did generate a wav file - because the pkf wouldn't exist otherwise!
    You can delete pkf files if you want, and all that means is that when you want to reopen your file in Audition, it will take longer, because the pkf file has to be recreated internally. This isn't much of an issue with small wav files, but with big ones it can make a considerable difference to the opening time.

    What is the best online storage for photos. Specifically one that allows the original image quality to be downloaded should your hard storage goes belly up

    I'd put them on an external hard drive(s) and burn them to a DVD as well (at least 2 - 3 copies on different drives/media); I prefer having control and a local solution instead of relying on a server and the possibility of someone (who shouldn't be)  downloading my work.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

    Hello,
    I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
    Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
    Thank you...

    > It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
    That's not true for one case.
    If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
    Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)
