Without repeating a lot of what Durin and others have already stated about this release of Audition CS5.5 and the history of the decision making, etc.., I ask that you take a look at the following thread for some answers: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3621787#3621787 The good news for anyone awaiting new versions of Audition is that we are back in the suite and the application has replaced Soundbooth as the product that will be updated each time a suite releases. If you have not heard the news, the suites are now also on a very predictable schedule as well (every 24 months with mid-cycle releases in between for faster updates). To repeat, nothing has been taken away, we just haven't gotten to adding everything back yet. Audition has been re-written as a cross-platform application with a solid foundation going forward (replacing Audition 3's very old Windows 98/XP codebase). We didn't have to time to re-implemt all features, but we feel we started this first cross-platform release off well with what we did get. The Audition team is listening and we are prioritizing features accordingly for future versions - no need for yelling though, we hear ya 😉 Stay tuned! --Ron
