Adobe Audition

What works

Single Track Editing, Multitrack editing works, but with some knowlege on how to put settings in. See "What does not work" for details.

What does not

When the program starts, you will see "SQL Server could not find the default instance (MSSQLSERVER) - Please specify the name of an existing existance on the invocation of SQLservr.exe." This is rather consistant per every time the program is opened. It seems to be ok to edit, as listed in "what works"

Another issue is that I get the old "FM static", during the multitrack session editing. Audio does not show through as you place elements in the multitrack. So, it can be said that the audio is not audible, in the proper way. I had to use "device options" (Options--> Device Options) to get the audio to work. You must work around the settings, unlike with Windows. This is a hassle, for those who are not used to fiddling with settings.

A single "Wave Mapper" is your only option, even if using 2 or more separate sound cards.

Also note that the buttons are not legible. You can "Hover" ovr them, to see what button is what. That is the only way to confirm what a button is.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Simple recording, under Ubuntu 9.04, since Haupauge does not give the terminal script, for drivers. The "TAR.GZ" of the pages I attempted to get the script from did not work, and had insufficient instructions to run and placement on Ubuntu.  Since I have a Hauppauge 26xx video card, which imports audio as well, I have no "in line,"which is why tests were not completed. If someone else has made tests, please post the results.

Note that on an earlier version of Ubuntu and WINE, the recording did work. However, the results could be different or the same. inability to test cannot show this though.

Additional Comments

Things work, but due to the "work arounds," It's not as "out of the box" as Windows makes it. Drivers to make some parts work, need to be done for Ubuntu (recording into Hauppauge cards). For those who need this program out of the box... sorry. You must fiddle a bit, to get most of the program running, like you run it in Windows.

• Playback must be limited to 16-bit under Options > Device Properties > Wave Out. If not done, playback will just be white noise.
• (JACK users only) Audition supports playback via Jack Audio Connection Kit, but crashes when recording through JACK.
