New Years 2008
Happy New Year to everyone! I know it's been pretty quiet on the blog front lately. Who knew that things would stay so busy after we shipped Audition?
In any case, as with most everyone the New Year is a time for me to reflect on the previous twelve months and look forward to the next twelve. For the audio team 2007 was definitely a great, if exhausting, year. It was a real thrill to bring a brand new product to market with Soundbooth, and equally fun to ship what we think is a killer new version of Audition just a few months later. One of my personal measures of job satisfaction comes from seeing an ever-increasing number of people use and enjoy products I worked to create. Having two audio products in the stable for different kinds of folks means that we're touching more people than ever before, and the strong uptake of Audition 3 by old and new customers alike has been a real thrill.
Looking forward, I always try to predict what the year will bring and I'm almost always wrong on more than half of it! We've got some cool things planned and I'll look forward to sharing more when I can... In the meantime, I've been remiss in linking to some of the articles that you might find interesting. Today, I've got three reviews of Audition 3:
- George Peterson from Mix Magazine
- Bob Nicholl from Designer Today
- Gary Eskow from Digital Content Producer
I think Bob's review is particularly interesting because he sees Audition through new eyes as a general designer. Also, Gary's review comes from the perspective of a video pro and so he talks more about the relationship between Soundbooth and Audition and why Adobe "bothers" to have two audio products.
I hope you all have a wonderful, prosperous, and great sounding New Year!

First of all, I would like to thank the audio team for bringing great products. Adobe sound editing software created a great impact on avp’s here in the Philippines. I am not a power user but it sure does help me improve my AVP’s during my presentations. The Adobe CS3 Production premium proved to be a very valuable investment as it helped me boost my creativity in a much easier way.

Adobe: "SSE2-enabled processor required for AMD systems"
DesignerToday: "SSE2-enabled processor required for _video_" (emphasis mine)
There's a financially significant ambiguity here. What about those of us with AMD SSE-but-not-SSE2 systems and no interest in video?
Audition requires an SSE-2 instruction set-enabled processor in general, not just for video. --Hart
