  1. I've been struggling to align a re-recording dialog for this video I shot at school and a friend suggested I try the new Audition CS6 from Adobe with this new ADR tool - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs6-creative-cloud-feature-tour-for-video/how-to-use-auto-speech-alignment-in-audition/?sdid=JUMNF I have to say it's made my life so much easier. You can get the demo from here -

  2. Every time any software giant announces a new suite with “advanced” features I shrug and pass it off as just hype. I’ve seen numerous keynotes and demos of software like Corel draw, FCP and InDesign in the past and none of them have ever moved me. Until recently. Then I saw this demo of National Geographic - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/digital-publishing-customer-showcase/national-geographic-previews-kindle-fire-app/?sdid=JYNWW to create its magazine app for Kindle and I have to admit, I did wet myself a little. Adaptive layout and liquid layout are 2 of the most amazing features ever created!

  3. Photoshop - Working with vector-based shape layers
    Vector-based shape layers now behave very much like vector shapes in Illustrator, InDesign, and other Adobe applications. Learn how to apply fills, including None, as well as solid, gradient, and dashed strokes. Plus, you have stacking and alignment controls, as well as the option to snap the edges to the pixel grid.

  4. I was really excited about the new Photoshop and downloaded the demo from here - http://www.adobe.com/in/downloads/?sdid=JUMTN but soon I ran out of things to experiment with. This video from Oleg Dou http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-cs6-artist-series/customer-spotlight-adobe-oleg-dou/?sdid=JYKZL really helped me broaden my horizons and realize that the simplest of features used against the easiest of subjects can turn something ordinary into something completely overwhelming.

  6. Adobe Audition CS6 / FAQ

    Some of the features I use in Adobe Audition 3 weren’t in Adobe Audition CS5.5. Are they available in Adobe Audition CS6?

    Adobe Audition CS5.5 was a completely new product. It offered many of the core capabilities in Adobe Audition 3, but because it was based on a new underlying architecture, it did not have an identical feature set. Many of the most requested features from Adobe Audition 3 are included in Adobe Audition CS6, including CD burning, clip grouping, tone generation, the Metronome, and support for Mackie and EUCON hardware control surface protocols, to name a few. Download the trial version of Adobe Audition CS6 to try out all the new features.
