They also don't have to worry about their guitar picking up interference from their monitor. "ADS Tech's new remote controller leverages the power of Adobe Audition and removes the restrictions of being tied to a PC keyboard and mouse," said Hart Shafer, Adobe Audition senior product manager. "It actually maximizes creativity and productivity, especially with the new foot pedal, because users don't have to stop the creative process and move over to the computer to make adjustments."

"Adobe Audition integrates a wave editor, multitrack recording and editing, and loop-based song creation in a single application so you don't have to buy and learn multiple software applications," explained Mike McCoy, ADS Tech President. "Having all of the tools you need integrated in a single solution significantly improves workflow because you don't have to keep saving your audio to send it into each application."
