100th Post T-Shirt
A while back I decided that I wanted to make my 100th post into some sort of prize, like the book I gave away a few months ago. Well, my 100th post came and went without me realizing it but I still have this super-cool Audition team T-shirt that I’ve been saving for the occasion so I thought I’d give it away anyway.
Sorry for the horrible picture…the only camera I had handy was an iSight, and I couldn’t get the lighting to work. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it's quite a cool shirt--I think it was the most popular one we’ve ever made for the team.
To win this lovely piece of design work just leave a comment on this post and describe your favorite thing about Audition in 50 words or less. Make sure to include your email address in that field so I can contact you. I’ll pick one comment at random at the end of this week and then mail the T-shirt out shortly thereafter. Good luck!

Great shirts you have made. What should I do to win such? And is the contest still going on or not?
Sorry, the contest is long over and the shirt awarded. Keep an eye out--if we get more shirts in I'll give another away. --Hart

Sorry, Scott. They were a one-time T-shirt made for the team after one of our releases so there simply are no more (unless I find a couple stuffed in a supply closet somewhere!)

Are those shirts for sale anywhere? I have a friend who is a longterm very hardcore Audition (and previously, CEP) user and I would love to obtain one for him.

There are too many "favorites" within Audition to list in 50 words or less. But one of my favorites is the outstanding community of members that are willing to share their knowledge. One can come to Audition without any experience and rest assured that the many questions that will arise can be answered by visiting the forums.

I've been producing a weekly radio broadcast for nearly 4 years using Audition. What I love most doesn't appear on the specs or features list: peace of mind! Audition is intuitive, scalable, and reliable. I've tried several other "cheaper" products. They have too many hidden aggravation costs. I'm a happy Audition user. Thank you!

I'm really enjoying the music score tools to create sensible video soundtracks.
What a great product...keep up the great work!

My favorite is that loops auto-adjust to tempo, which makes them useful in any song. I also like the "vocal remove" (center channel extractor) filter. While it didn't perform a magic mute, it attenuated the vocals on a song I imported well enough for me to hear the supporting parts better.

I like the built-in noise reduction tools, and the use single-click fix way too much. I hope I don't miss it too much when Soundbooth replaces in my bundle.
Hey, how about custom buttons for hard-to-get-to functions, so I can quickly get to next and previous zero-crossings quickly?

My favorite thing; Frequency Space editing. I was recently working on a movie and it was the only thing that could remove the sound of airplanes in a dialog track. Audition is the only program I run on my Intel-Mac in boot camp.

Hi Hart,
Frequency space editing takes Audition to another place and saves me money on so called 'mastering software'. Likewise the analog multiband compressor. Audition is the new standard!

My favorite thing about Audition -- Loops, loops, and more loops!
Before Audition, I never knew I could play (*ahem*--program) so many cool instruments!
Great product, outstanding feature set, thorough documentation, excellent tech support -- and fantastic loops!

I've used Auditon since the beginning. The best thing about it (right now) is the lithe interface that will switch from serious FX generating to the thick, easy-to-see multitrack view at the simple touch of an f12!

I also am new to Audition, but I like how easy it is to create files and edit files without any prior editing knowledge. I haven't had enough time to play too much with all of the features but it looks like you can do most anything with it.

Still a 1.5 user and considering an upgrade. I like the spectral frequency display method in order to clean up all scratches and noises and the video support to easily match music, effects and video.
In my last latest project, i had an unfortunate ongoing buzzing sound in the background. It only took about 10 minutes to clean the mess up and saved me a lot of money and headache.
Of course, an update would make life even more easy but since i only have 1 or 2 audiovisual projects each year, i'm not sure it's worth to do so.

I like the interface of Audition and the Photoshop like tools in it to edit sound. I can't wait for the Mac version of it.

Hi Hart,
While most of you readers are likely professionals, know that in a small corner room in a middle school special ed. department you and your products are well appreciated. We're getting ready for our holiday concert, so I'm hoping to persuade our principal to spring for Audition 2.0. We been using the "Elements" products for all sorts of projects from concerts to live video of plant leaves under a 7th grade microscope. All the best! - Jim, near Atlanta.

I don't have a favorite thing about Audition because I'm not yet on intel. The shirt looks great though.

I'm brand new to Audition (like 2 weeks new), but my favorite thing about it is how easy it is to go back and forth with/from Premiere.
