Adobe Previews Soundbooth for Intel Macs

by , 10:15 AM EDT, October 26th, 2006

Adobe Labs has been busy this week rolling out preview versions of new Mac applications. On Wednesday, the company introduced a beta version of its new audio editing application, Adobe Soundbooth. Adobe touts it as "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."

Adobe Soundbooth supports audio editing, cleaning up noisy audio, visually identifying and removing unwanted sounds, recoding and editing voiceovers, audio effects and filters, and creating customized music.

The beta of Adobe Soundbooth is free, and requires an Intel-based Mac. additional information is available at the Adobe Labs Web site.

A release of new Mac software designed solely for Intel Macs is not good news for those of us still runing PowerPCs, and there are a lot of us. I hope this doesn't become a trend. I wonder why Adobe didn't develop this as a Universal software application rather than Intel Macs only? And where is the Creative Suite for Intel Macs or Universal???? The heck with developing new software, lets get the old stuff up to speed first, huh?!!

We will probably see more of this, how much OS9 stuff is being introduced these days.

Actually, yeah, I think we'll see more and more of this going forward as software vendors leverage both their existing Intel codebase (from Windows) and/or develop cross-platform software on Intel for both Windows and Mac. That, after all, is one of the strengths of the new architecture, and while it certainly still requires a bit of work to take that codebase and implement on one OS versus another, it's not like they have to rewrite stuff entirely, which is a good thing.
