Adobe Releases Soundbooth as Beta for Intel-Based Macs, Windows

Adobe Systems has debuted the public beta of Adobe Soundbooth software for creating and editing audio and fixing common audio flaws using visually oriented tools.
Users can test the beta download and submit feedback to Adobe Labs. Adobe Soundbooth is available for Intel-based Macintosh and Windows systems.
The company says Adobe Soundbooth lets users record, edit and create audio without requiring training in sound production. Integration with Macromedia Flash from Adobe and Adobe Premiere Pro enables users to remove noise from recordings, polish voiceovers and customize music to fit a production. Also included are mastering tools to clarify vocals and polish files after editing.
Additionally, the process of creating customized music to accompany projects can be expedited with the AutoComposer feature.
Adobe says it plans to continue developing Adobe Audition as a standalone product for audio professionals in markets such as broadcast radio. It plans to offer Soundbooth in place of Adobe Audition as the audio component in its integrated video solution, Adobe Production Studio.
