For me personally I don't like it. Maybe cause I've edited so long manually having to do everything but it seems the auto match feature among other things just aren't that good. I can go to gain normalize max peaks to -10 on dialogue and get faster results that way than the auto match does which makes the audio ten times louder than I actually want it for the mix.
There are multiple ways to do everything in most NLEs, as there are in Pr.
I know some always do all their audio in Audition as it's so fast to get there and apply hefty stacks of presets, trim, back to Pr in 2-3 minutes.
Others drag audio presets or effects on clips and adjust.
Others love the ESP.
Some use ESP to quickly invoke a few effects then open the ECP where you can open and edit the full controls set of every effect applied within the ESP.
I prefer to use the normalize gain function and set it to what i want. Then I just move the volume handles up and down where I see fit. I normally normalize all my dialogue to -8 and then music I normalize to -18. Then I just move the handles of the audio up and down where I see fit. I know auto match is quicker in essential sound panel but I actually find that it screws up my audio. Sometimes it will make things more loud than I need them at.
I'm not a fan of the philosophy behind the Essential Sound Panel, making it easy for folks who don't have the training to do the work.
That's the kind of thinking I'd expect for Premiere Elements, not Premiere Pro.
That's exactly the philosophy I want from a computer. Let it do all the work, and let me take care of the creative. More power to the Essential Sound Panel, I say.
Like I said, that's a philosophy more appropriate to Adobe's consumer offering, but inappropriate for their professional offering.
By contrast, Resolve has added the equivalent of Audition to Resolve. Far more powerful than ESP, but also requiring the appropriate training that behooves any professional.
