I'm a CEP/Audition freak for the stereo editing. I use the MT a little, but prefer Ableton or Logic because I'm also a midi freak.
The spot healing brush is awesome, though I don't do too much restoration. I love the idea.
Here are the two features I'm thrilled about
:
1. Visual edits on a pan range. Want to drop the volume of the guitar solo that's positioned at 45 degrees. Easy, select it, and edit it. Very very cool. You can also apply effects to a pan range. Remixers and Mastering engineers will love this.
2. Export audio as BMP for editing in Photoshop. This is more than listening to pictures. Subtle photoshop filters actually sound really cool.
I'm a visual guy, so I love Adobe's visual audio editing. I understand that I don't listen with my eyes, but what can I say. It makes sense to me.

There are new plugins for time stretching (based on izotope technology) convolution, mastering strip, distortion, but I already have alternatives for those. The restoration seems a bit better with an adaptive algorithm that may speed things up. Apparently it is more savvy with multi-core, but I wonder if I will notice that if I have single chain of plugins on a mastering track.
So far my favorite features are in some of the new view capabilities and the spot healing brush. Hart Shafer's blog had a good introduction, and there is a new features summary. |
