Thanks Charlie, Thanks Kevin,

You've kinda re-affirmed what I was thinking... I'd be better off just using Audition for a session if I had to use Audio TX. It wouldn't make much sense to go through all of the extra wiring steps, if I could simply plug my pre-amp directly into my sound card and run it through Audition, as opposed to increasing the potential for cable problems by running from Mbox Output > Sound Card Input > Sound Card Ouptut - Mbox...

Thanks for the info...

Cheers,

Now you have the idea, - use Audition to record the session, move the files into ProFools, and edit as you like... forget the MBox with AudioTx...

ASIO 2 with PT or MBox is still a questionable item... DigiDesign is working on getting a corner on the market... if you buy their products - - you use THEIR products (hardware or software). Where is the anti-trust lawsuit in the audio industry???

Focus on making things easy for yourself... or as has been suggested - Keep It Simple Silly... it works.

Now there is a really subjective question... CEP2 has some things I often go back and use... I have both on my PC. Audition is a workhorse, which with some minor exceptions, is exactly like CEP2.

This is not meant to be an endorsement of Audition, just a users viewpoint.

I do not use the Surround features in Audition, as they are cumbersome in my opinion, but for VO one does not need them. I also do not use the multi-track capability much, I like the Sony Vegas interface for it's usability. When doing mix-downs for a fully produced project with VO I would use Vegas.

For VO recording, Audition/CEP2 is so darn easy to use, edit, process, change format (.wav, .aiff, .mp3, etc...), change bit rates, change Sample Rates if necessary, etc. - that I have no need to look elsewhere for VO work/projects.

But, remember, this is MY opinion. Others may vary. Some fine folks find they like ProFools, some like Sound Forge, or what-have-you...

Besides, it's really about-time Adobe got into the business - and changed the way some things are done or at least updated Audition and made it capable of doing video editing - will they soon - doubt it. I believe they (Audition) are working on the concept that if you build it they will buy... and they have not built it, they just bought it... so they are not looking for a way to integrate Audition with Premiere into one cohesieve software solution - and I would not use Premiere to edit any video project of mine.

Will PT offer a real video editing solution with quality easy to use audio interfaces... maybe someday, but it will be costly. So for what I do in my work-a-day life, I would use Sony Vegas for Video Editing, plus Audio mixing... If I felt the Audio Editing features in Vegas were as easy to use as they are in Audition/CEP2, I would be using them... but they are not. So I use Audition/CEP2 for most VO only projects - then import into Vegas.

Now that I have beat around the bush... Yes, I like Audition. I would also like to someday see a solution which has the editing features of Audition, the mixing and video editing features of Vegas, the compatability features of ProFools, and the price of GoldWave... boy am I a dreamer????
