When I listened in context, I didn’t get the sense that something had been notched out. I was pleased to discover that the voice that was speaking when the phone rang still sounded natural after the effect was applied. Eventually I managed it and applied the effect, and the ring was gone. So it required going back in and painting a few other areas. In my case, the dashes told me where the ringtones were, but the overtones were more difficult to spot. The most difficult thing about Sound Remover is identifying all portions of the unwanted sound.

I happened to have a podcast track in which a phone rang, so I used that as my test file. If you’ve selected carefully and correctly, the annoying sound disappears, leaving the audio you want in place.Īudition’s new Sound Remover tool allows you to remove unexpected audio.

You can then sample and store that sound, and ask Audition to remove any instances of it. You then choose the Paintbrush Selection tool and simply “paint” over the offending portions of the sound (the brush size is adjustable for going after things like small overtones). A ringing phone can be seen as a series of dashes, with each representing a brief tone within the ring. If it has a predictable wave like a siren, it’s pretty easy to spot. To use it, switch on the spectral frequency display, zoom in on the waveform, and look for your unwelcome sound. That’s where the Sound Remover tool comes in. The CS6 version took 3 minutes and 38 seconds, while the CC version did the job in 3 minutes and 12 seconds.Īudition has long included tools for removing constant noise-such as an air conditioner or a hum in the audio line-but notching out these unpredictable noises is a much tougher task. For instance, on my dual 2.26GHz Quad-Core Xeon Mac Pro, I bounced three effects-laden tracks of a 25-minute podcast to a single track in both Audition CS6 and Audition CC. Before discussing the financial model, let’s turn to features.Īudition is now a 64-bit application, which, in some cases, translates into speedier operation. It’s now a better audio editor however, its target audience may look at alternatives solely because of Adobe’s subscription-only model. With Audition CC, Adobe has largely finished feature restoration (save for MIDI support) and instead focuses on adding new audio restoration and manipulation tools, and tweaking the interface to make the application easier to use. The result was a very fine audio editor aimed at sound designers, radio producers, audio and video editors, and podcasters. With Audition CS6, Adobe busied itself adding back features that were available to Windows users in Audition 3.
