Adobe Audition CS5.5 
What’s New
Well-known in the industry as the go-to audio tool, Adobe Audition software now brings its 
audio-for-video multitrack editing environment to the Mac. With best-in-class editing and 
multitrack mixing tools, powerful sweetening options, and rock-solid performance, Adobe 
Audition is the digital audio editor that audio and video professionals rely on to handle a 
wide range of tasks quickly and efficiently. 
A completely new high-performance audio playback engine leverages multicore processors to make 
Adobe Audition CS5.5 a fast and powerful all-in-one editing and mixing environment — and now, for the 
first time, it’s available on Mac OS. Flexible roundtrip editing with Adobe Premiere® Pro software and 
integration with Adobe Flash® Professional and After Effects® software make Adobe Audition the ideal 
choice for a wide range of audio production tasks, from formatting a single audio file to creating complex 
multitrack 5.1 surround soundtracks. Open Media Framework Interchange (OMF) format import and 
export lets you smoothly transport this audio editing power to other digital audio workstation (DAW) 
environments such as Avid Pro Tools, and XML Interchange import and export support integrate Adobe 
Audition into other nonlinear editor (NLE) environments. Adobe Audition CS5.5 makes working on 
surround sound projects easier than ever with new native 5.1 multichannel file support, multichannel 
mixing, and the intuitive Track Panner panel. Effects have been updated for application to surround 
projects, and the new Surround Reverb is particularly useful in multichannel mixes. 
Optimized to create soundtracks for rich media, fix audio problems quickly, and integrate smoothly into 
cross-platform video editing environments, Adobe Audition CS5.5 is more valuable than ever for audio 
and video editors.
