The new on-boarding experience offers new users a series of guided walkthroughs of common tasks, such as reducing background noise, mixing audio elements, or producing a simple podcast.

If you are new to Audition CC, these guides will help to navigate the core functionality and capabilities with ease. Coach marks and concise tutorials are offered inside the application to enable you to get started with Audition and successfully perform some key tasks without leaving the native environment.

With shorter turnaround times and shrinking budgets, many video editors mix their audio without engaging a professional audio engineer. This release of Adobe Audition empowers video editors with limited audio experience to easily handle mixing techniques for their projects.

The Essential Sound panel gives you a complete toolset to mix your audio for achieving professional-quality output. The panel provides simple controls to unify volume levels, repair sound, improve clarity, and add special effects that help your video projects sound like a professional audio engineer has mixed them. You can save the applied adjustments as presets for re-use and they reflect in the full Audition toolset, making them handy for more audio refinements.

Audition can now export your edited audio directly to Adobe Media Encoder for a fully linear post-production workflow, using format presets and audio channel customization without rendering or wrangling various mixdown files.

To export, just select your destination format and preset, which might include re-wrapping your video for many formats to prevent re-encoding the video stream, and add to the render queue. You can even customize how your final audio channels are assigned to your video file.

Your project will start rendering automatically in the background when the project files are prepared.  Projects that you had edited using Audition wear the Audition logo, making it easy to identify which projects are complete and ready for use.  You can get back to work in Audition or Premiere on your next project while Adobe Media Encoder renders the files in the background.

Create remixes of music files from a collection. For example, you can take a song that has a longer duration and create a shorter version that still sounds like the original. You can recompose any piece of music in your collection to fit the video or project duration.
