“Music is food for the soul’—If your life revolves around this adage, then at some point in time you are bound to get world-weary if the food (in this case music) is the same day in and day out. So how about flavoring it a bit? There are various audio applications that can make a lot of difference to your music. But the one that stands out in the crowd is Adobe Audition 2.0. This application from the Adobe stable assists you with its set of splendid tools in adding the much-needed spice to your music.
Also known as Cool Edit Pro, Adobe Audition 2.0 is a complete audio production application. It can be used to edit, mix and process sound. It has a flexible and user-friendly interface; you can resize, dock, hide and recall panels on the interface, which in turn gives you a spacious environment to work around with. The most interesting feature of Audition 2.0 is its ability to display the sound in three spectral forms (frequency display, pan display and spectral phase) as also in the usual waveform display.
Creating multi-track sessions is possible in Audition 2.0. You can select tracks, which are pre-installed and alter them or even add new files. You can also extract audio from video files of formats like AVI, MPG, WMA, MOV, etc and change them from the array of tools available.

A lot of options are available to alter the music as per your wish. The Mastering Rack is relatively new and is a mind-blowing feature in Audition 2.0. It has a set of Rack Presets, wherein you can select the plug-in of your choice from the dropdown menu and accordingly alter the various aspects of the sound. In all, there are sixteen plug-in slots provided. Additional controls are present on the Rack interface including Power, Pre/Post routing, Freeze Track and Effects. Master Rack also features Dynamic Processing, which lets you preview the sound even while making changes to it. The sound is graphically represented wherein the sound can be altered by varying the slope of the graph.
Editing and recording sound is an effortless task in Audition 2.0. Along with the regular clipboard and fading features, there are others like mix paste, trim and the mute process. But it is the effects integrated into Audition 2.0 that had us floored. The Time/Pitch effect offers numerous options such as the Doppler Shifter effect which provides various acoustic upshots transforming the overall sound. Another sound effect called Delay offers a variety of options such as Chorus, Echo and Reverb effects. The Chorus effect offers a couple of interesting presets—for instance, the Chaos Pits effect adds a sort of spooky touch to the sound while the Broken Stereo effect lends a distorted feel. You can also create personalized presets in all of the above mentioned effects and save them along with the other presets. Once you’re done with this, you can sort the effects you regularly use and save them under Favorites.
Overall, Adobe Audition 2.0 meets all your expectations on sound and is a good choice for professionals. But remember, it is heavy on system resources.
