Editing Differences between Mac and PC in Audition

Hi Audition Experts,

I recently had to make the tough decision to move from Macbook Pro to a PC laptop. 

In setting up the PC version of Audition, I notice that there are subtle (but really difficult to manage) changes between the editing functions using the trackpad. 

For example, with the spectral frequency display, a two finger pinch on the Mac makes the view expand/contract horizontally, however on the PC, it makes the view expand vertically. A setting I can't seem to change. 

Also, despite the settings changed to "most sensitive" for the trackpad if I swipe to move across the recording quickly, it moves fast on the Mac, but in the PC is hardly moves at all. 

I'm not in a position to add a seperate trackpad, or use a mouse etc. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced these subtle differences, or if I am missing some settings somewhere. 

 

Are there any other differences people notice about working across platforms? 

 

Many thanks!

I have noticed a significant difference in efficiency between Mac and Windows when editing WAV files in the spectral view. I own a MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip, yet despite this, the speed when processing WAV files in the spectral interface is extremely slow. For example, even a simple operation like a +6dB adjustment requires a few seconds of waiting.

 

On the other hand, any ordinary Windows PC can perform such operations without any delay.

 

Since I need to perform a lot of spectral editing recently, I am considering abandoning the M3 Max and purchasing a new PC.

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Audition developers, what is your explanation for this?
