Of Cats and Bags
As in, the cat is officially out of the bag. This morning at 12:01 Eastern time we officially announced Creative Suite 3 and posted all the details for everyone's examination, and then this afternoon we webcast the official gala launch event. Thirteen individual products, six suites, and a bunch of other technologies all designed to work together. As you can imagine we're pretty excited, if a bit tired. :)
The facts for Soundbooth are pretty well known since it's been out on the labs site (and will be until we finish--in fact, we have another beta update coming in a few weeks) but there's some new details up on the official site. And if you want to hear more straight from the horses' mouths, Tim Wilson from Creative Cow has podcast interviews with Steve Kilisky (After Effects), Giles Baker (Premiere Pro), Mark Randall (former CEO of Serious Magic and current Dynamic Media chief strategist), and me posted. But I'm not sure how my colleagues feel about being called horses.
Finally, Audition is not part of this launch because it's on a different schedule from the suite products. We're working on the next version and will have more to say about it later this year.
Now, I'd encourage you to go poke around the Creative Suite site to get a flavor for what we'll be shipping as soon as we can finish!
Comments
Some poor quality effects and VSTs need attention: pitch and tempo manipulation, for example. Also, having survived 2 computer crashes, a straightforward option to simply print/save the screen-image of a session would have saved me many hours rebuilding lost sessions!

Since you mention that Audition will not be upgraded until this year; is there any chance you could release a minor patch/fix to get AA2.0 working better with Vista? At present it forces the Aero interface to switch back to basic mode, which is annoying to say the least.
Thanks

We Macuser pay for Adobe OnLocation CS3 and Ultra CS3, but we don't get/can't use it. Is that fair? Why not make the Macbox cheaper, and what about prices in Europe? They are 60% higher, for the english version of course.
