Adobe recently announced the Beta of Soundbooth<\/a>, a Cool Edit\/Audition-lite-y kind of audio editor. I had some good hopes for this, since I’m an old-school Cool Edit Fan who has since moved on to better Operating Systems<\/a>. While I like Audacity<\/a>, it does crash a bit more often than I’d like.
\nSo far the beta sucks. Maybe. I can’t tell because I can’t get it to run, since it’s incompatible with SoundFlower<\/a>, which I’ve been known to use on occasion<\/a>. It’s also only available for x86-based Macs at present. (Why? do they just not get the concept of Universal Binaries<\/a>, or are they doing something really dumb like using x86 assembly language subroutines from the Audition<\/a> codebase?) That of course rules out trying it on my wife’s iBook G4…<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: Apparently Adobe has a fix ready for the SoundFlower incompatibility, which will be ready in the next beta release. Also, from what I’ve been reading, it does sound like some hand-assembled and\/or SSE2 specific code (likely borrowed from Audition) is in the Soundbooth code, explaining its non-Universalness (which is still kinda lame).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
