This is the company that bought Macromedia, who created the BEST audio editor I have ever used... SoundEdit Pro. Now granted, Adobe started work on SoundBooth before the acquisition, but for those of us who are not die hard audio engineers, yet need a better product than what is out there, I wish Adobe would carbonize that fine product. But for now, AmadeusPro does just fine at 10% of the price of SoundBooth.

Schneb,
Heh heh. Brings back great memories. I bought the original SoundEdit on a 400K floppy at the first ever MacWorld in, what? January 1985? I used it religiously until it ran out of steam 5 or 6 years ago after no updates for years.
Kind of like THINK, that great Outliner. (Which still works on OS 9 last time I checked even without updates for 10 or 12 years.)
Anyway, I now use SoundStudio 3 which I consider to be as good as SoundEdit if not much better. I haven't tried the the new SoundBooth yet. How much is it going to cost?
Thanks for bringing up good memories.

Not now, but it is not done. SoundForge costs almost $400 and it STILL cannot do multitrack. Soundtrack will do multitrack, but only in a seperate program level (and you cannot buy it separately anymore). AmadeusPro can.
As for the cost, I seemed to remember seeing the price posted at the Adobe site. Or I may have heard it from a rep who came to our company to preview the latest software they were working on such as Encore. I cannot remember the exact price, but it was over $300.
Now remember, the target for SoundBooth is for sound engineers. And for that target, SoundBooth will be a great addition. Engineers do not need multiple tracks. They need high-end noise reduction and analysis tools. And for this demographic, they are on track.
So Adobe, for the rest of us, carbonize SoundEdit Pro! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
