Adobe Audition 1.5 software is a professional audio editing environment. Designed for demanding audio and video professionals, Adobe Audition offers advanced audio mixing, editing, and effects processing capabilities. Its flexible workflow, combined with exceptional ease of use and precise tools, gives you the power to create rich, nuanced audio of the highest possible quality.

Use integrated tools

• Complete audio studio: Handle all of your digital audio tasks within a single application. Work with a multitrack mixing view, a mono and stereo waveform editing view, and audio effects; create music with loops; and burn audio CDs.
• Enhanced support for video: Edit video soundtracks more easily with the ability to view video frames in the Timeline and import a wide range of file formats, including AVI, native DV, MPEG, and WMV.
• Powerful audio effects and DSP tools: work with more than 50 digital signal processing (DSP) tools and effects, mastering and analysis tools, audio restoration features, and third-party DirectX and VST plug-ins.
• Powerful multitrack mixing: Use the Multitrack View for recording, mixing, and editing up to 128 stereo tracks. Record up to 32 inputs, use real-time effects and EQ on every track, play back video and MIDI files, and more.
• Wave editing view: record and edit individual audio files with fast, accurate tools that are tightly integrated with the Multitrack View for an improved workflow.

Sound your best

• Highest quality audio: record, edit, and mix high-resolution 32-bit files using any sample rate up to 10 MHz, including standard rates such as 44.1 kHz (CD quality), 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz (DVD quality), and 192 kHz.
• More than 5,000 royalty-free music loops: Create your own music using more than 5,000 performance-based, royalty-free music loops. Styles include Rock, Techno, Classical, Reggae, and more.
• Audio restoration: restore old vinyl, remove hisses and hums, fix clipped audio, and recover previously unusable recordings with classic or automatic Click/Pop Eliminators, Noise Reduction, Hiss Reduction, and Clip Restoration effects.
• Pitch correction: Correct off-pitch performances and create pitch-based effects using the new pitch correction effects. Use the automatic mode for quick results or the manual mode for precise control.
• Frequency space editing: visually isolate and select sounds in frequency and time using a marquee selection tool in the spectral editing view, and then clean up, modify, or apply effects to the selected sound.

Work efficiently

• Support for professional audio standards: work with industry-standard file formats, expand your options with VST and DirectX plug-ins, and use ReWire support to easily work with other audio software.
• Integrated CD burning: create quick reference masters of your compositions by burning gapless audio CDs directly from Adobe Audition.
• Multichannel encoder: use the multichannel encoder to transform any multitrack mix into a 5.1 surround-sound experience, and then export the results as an interleaved file for use in Adobe Premiere Pro software.
• Improved workflow with other Adobe video products: work more smoothly with Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Encore DVD software thanks to numerous user-interface enhancements.
• Audio analysis tools: Work with built-in analysis tools, including frequency analysis, phase analysis, and Spectral View, in real time. Easily see audio characteristics from edit to edit.

Top new features:

• ReWire support: stream full-resolution audio data in real time between Adobe Audition and other audio software such as Propellerhead Reason and Ableton Live.
• VST plug-in support: expand your options with integrated support for third-party VST effects, which can also be used in Adobe Premiere Pro software.
• Frequency space editing: visually isolate and select sounds in frequency and time using a marquee selection tool in the spectral editing view, and then clean up, modify, or apply effects to the selected sound.
• Pitch correction: Correct off-pitch performances and create pitch-based effects using the new pitch correction effects. Use the automatic mode for quick results or the manual mode for precise control.
• Enhanced support for video: edit video soundtracks more easily with the ability to view video frames in the timeline and import a wide range of file formats, including AVI, native DV, MPEG, and WMV.
• Clip time stretching: visually drag the edge of any audio clip in a multitrack mix to fit a specific length of time with or without affecting the clip's pitch; this is ideal for making sound effects and dialog fit a given video clip.
• Automatic click/pop elimination: quickly and easily restore digital recordings of vinyl source material, wireless mikes, DV cameras, and other production audio.
• New sample sessions: get up to speed quickly by using any of the 20 sample sessions included with Adobe Audition, or modify the sample sessions to create your own music.
• Vocal/instrumental extraction: reduce the vocal or instrumental portions of a track and create a cappella and karaoke-ready tracks while preserving the stereo image with the new Center Channel Extractor tool.
• New royalty-free loops: create your own music using more than 500 new production music loops--for a total of more than 5,000--in a variety of styles including '70s disco, rumba, and loops for weddings and events.
• Save custom keyboard shortcuts: create customized keyboard shortcut sets to suit your working style.
• Flexible envelope scaling: Rescale points on pan, volume, and effect envelopes to make changes to a clip in a multitrack mix. Scale all points while maintaining relative or absolute relationships between points.
