I just saw the news that Adobe Labs had released a beta of a new sound editing application called Soundbooth. Here’s the skinny from the Adobe Labs site:

Soundbooth is a brand new application built in the spirit of Sound Edit 16 and Cool Edit that provides the tools video editors, designers, and others who do not specialize in audio need to accomplish their everyday work such as:

* Editing audio quickly.
* Cleaning up noisy audio.
* Visually identifying and removing unwanted sounds.
* Recording and polishing voiceovers.
* Adding effects and filters.
* Easily creating customized music—without musical expertise.

With an innovative user interface that makes short work of everyday tasks, Soundbooth is designed to work well next to Adobe® Premiere® Pro, Adobe® After Effects®, and Adobe® Flash® as well as other creative tools to make your audio flow smoothly with your video and Flash projects.

Sounds like a great idea—it also sounds like Soundtrack Pro, Apple’s sound application from its Final Cut Pro suite of products.

The Soundbooth beta is designed only for Windows and Intel Mac users—if you’re running a PowerPC Mac like I am, you’re out of luck. Time to buy a new computer!

  2. Those switchers with an audio background already knew that SoundTrackPro was a blatent rip-off of Adobe Audition which is also made by Soundbooth team. Any similarities are due to the fact that Soundbooth looks like Audition.
