Product Description
Product Description
You've waited a long time for the missing link in Adobe's digital home-studio lineup. Now, with the introduction of the brand-new Audition music creation software, it's finally here-if only you could figure out how to use it! Because Audition started life as CoolEdit (before Adobe purchased the program from Syntrillium Software), its distinctive interface has little in common with Adobe's other content creation stand-bys Premiere and After Effects. Not to worry. This no-nonsense, task-based guide uses step-by-step instructions and a boatload of visual aids to turn the key on Audition's interface, so that you can begin using the software immediately to create and polish audio tracks for your film, video, and DVD projects. You'll quickly get up to speed on all of Audition's audio recording, mixing, analyzing, looping, and editing capabilities, so that by the end of the day, you'll know everything you need to about its noise reduction and audio restoration features, sophisticated spectrum and phase-analysis tools, extensive sound-editing capabilities, and more.

Nearly useless, very abstract and badly edited
13 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
Audition apparently seems to be some kind of unwanted stepchild of Adobe, based on the scarcity of resources Adobe seems to have dedicated to it. I bought this book based on other positive experiences with the "Visual Quickstart Guide" series, but as another reviewer states, this book barely covers what should essentially be in a basic user's manual. There is little if any detail, very few case-study example, and some significant holes in the instructions.
Example: in the "Using Cues" section - there is a section "to list and edit your cues," to "move cues" and to "delete cues"...but it says nothing about creating a cue to start with. These types of omissions can drive beginners insane, and signals some pretty bad editing.
Further, abstract explanations of sounds (or worse, how sounds work) are nearly useless. This book badly needs an accompanying cd. Five seconds of actual audio can teach more that fifty pages of words. Avoid this book.

Adobe Audition
12 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
This book is a great guide for the beginner. I was recording multitrack within an hour. Get your feet wet without a major investment.

Not worth buying
30 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
I got this book and the Adobe User's Guide when I purchased Adobe Audition 1.5. This book requires that you have a pretty good idea of what is going on in recording and gives hardly any examples of practical applications for how you can use the program. It is simply the type of book that says, if you want to do this, here are the steps to accomplish that feat. The Adobe user's guide isn't much better.
