5.0 out of 5 stars A great how-to book for Cool Edit Pro / Adobe Audition, November 7, 2003

This review is from: Audio Editing with Cool Edit (Paperback)

I was in need of a resource to explain how to use a trial copy of Adobe Audition, the name Adobe gave to the software when they acquired it from Syntrillium. As of this writing, there don't seem to be any books on this subject under the new product name, so I tried Richard Riley's, hoping it would fill my need. I was not disappointed! His book does an excellent job of explaining how to put this software, by whatever name, to use. The items covered in the book appear to apply to both the prior Cool Edit and newer Audition products, so it should serve owners of the software under either name equally well. It provided a great deal of "put it to use" information, and was an excellent value.

This review is from: Audio Editing with Adobe Audition (Paperback)

I purchased this book hoping for in depth information on certain editing effects topics, for example "hard limiting". From what I read, the book does not go into much more detail than the information already available in the Help included with the program. I have returned this book and will be choosing a more costly one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Disappointed..., April 16, 2009

Marco Escobar S. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Audio Editing with Adobe Audition (Paperback)

I've been trying to find a book for learning Adobe Audition, but this one is the worst. It really pretends to be a reference manual. It is really heavy and tired to learn the software based on a bad reference manual. I advise to learn the help file it's easier and a more direct way. I'm trying to learn Adobe Audition 2.0. Why do I have to loss time learning the differences with version 1.5? I'll continue looking for a really tutorial o self teaching course.
