Audition 2 Theme Session Origins
This week I realized that I haven't talked about the Audition 2.0 theme session, which everyone who has the program has heard at least once. Or, rather, seen at least once.
In the past the theme session has been a short piece put together by some of us on the team, and it was designed to show off some of the features and give new users an example of what the software can do. With all the work we were doing to improve the mixing capabilities of version 2 we wanted to do something extra this time around--we thought Audition 2.0 was going to be a great mixing system but we wanted to prove it.
To do just that we teamed up with Grammy Award-winning engineer, mixer and producer Charles Dye to produce, track and mix an original song by the up-and-coming South Florida band eL using beta versions of Audition, and the resulting song titled "Honesty" is the our new theme session. We tracked it at the hit factory in Miami, and then Charles came out to our mixing room in Seattle a couple times to get the song mixed into shape.
Hidden away in the Audition install directory is a PDF that explains exactly how the session was recorded, mixed, and delivered, including all the details from the studio notes. By default it lives at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Audition 2.0\Audition Theme and is called "Making the Audition theme session.pdf"

Hart, thanks for posting that. I went tinto the folder on my computer and read the document. It was good to see what equipment was used.
AA2.0 works well for me!
