I work mostly with video and I enjoy using AA for the audio portion. It's a bit of a pain though with no direct AC3 support.

Can we have this?

WHO CARES ABOUT POPULARITY?
PEOPLE CARES ABOUT QUALITY.
YOU KNOW, AUDITION IS JUST LIKE IPHONE, POPULAR, BUT TERRIBLE PDA PHONE.
AUDITION TOO IN FEATURES.
WHAT ABOUT PREMIER PRO & PREMIER ELEMENTS?
YOU JUST TALKING POINTLESS.
VIDEO MAKER & PC WORLD JUST BURNED ADOBE PRODUCTS.
OTHER CRITICS TOO.

Unfortunately for you, nobody takes any notice of these 'ratings' in the real world at all. You can get a far more effective indicator of software popularity, as rated by searches, by looking at

http://www.digitalmusicdoctor.com/popularity.htm

and you will find that although Audition has a lower ranking than it did a couple of years ago, Sound Forge, and especially Wavelab feature somewhat lower still - that only accounts for 9% of all Steinberg searches, so it doesn't even figure on the main list at all. And if you proportion the searches up against individual products, Audition gets closer to Cubase anyway.

At least this way, we get some sort of an independent idea of how different programs are really doing, as compared to your pointless ranting.

No they don't.
Hahahaha.
You know steve, Adobe audio video products is always at end of the list.
The best Pro Video Editor 2007 was Sony Vegas Pro 8.
Also, the second high-end competitor is Avid Media Composer, then Apple Finale Cut.
The Audio Editors competitors are: Steinberg WaveLab Essential 6 & Sony Sound Forge 9.
They always update their products with the latest codecs & add more features to their products.

But Adobe don't, just a loser.
Adobe Premier Pro CS3 Review from PC World:
Cons
* Lacks AVCHD support
* Even with DVD authoring app, still have to render

Premiere Elements 4: Rate: 82 out of 100:
* Revised interface eliminates some useful features
* Settings for YouTube upload can't be adjusted

Corel Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus Rate 84 out of 100

SEE, Corel Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus is better than Premiere Elements 4.

I'd fully expect them to attach just as much significance to anything you say as we do...

Forget about Adobe.

They never listen to their costumers.

I reported Adobe to many software critics & it's horrible nightmare for Adobe.

Here, download this AC-3/DTS filter:

AC3Filter Audition plugin allows CoolEdit / Adobe Audition to read AC3 and DTS files and write AC3 files.

I've heard that before and I find it hard to believe. Ulead Movie factory 6 (an off-the-shelf $75 consumer video editor/burner) has AC3 import/export ability. Sony Vegas Pro 8 (video editor) has AC3 import/export/edit abilities.... I can go on with this list but I think you get the point. Granted there are a few restrictions but they are relatively minor. None the less I don't see why audition can't have it.

This has been discussed many times, though not recently. In short: not likely to happen, due to Audition's delightfully economical cost and Dolby's less-than-economical licensing fees and requirements.
