Welcome to the forum.
1. dragable tracks - so you can move the order of them after they have been recorded. not just the sound file the whole track.
Put the pointer on the left hand side of the track name in Main view, and drag it to where you want it - the whole track goes, settings and all.
2. "takes" - when tracking it would be great to have an option that you could click or something that would clear the latest recording and start you at the begining, but saving the recorded file (which audition does already). I think I have see this option on other programs. right now I either just record over what was recorded or start at the end of the last one. but I would much rather have a "takes" option. recording over makes it kind of a clustered mess and recording at the end just makes the project to big. after like 5 takes you have to scroll all around to find what you want. the "takes" feature would be great to have as a universal feature - click a button and you could toggle between all the take you made. And also solo on individual tracks so you mix your takes around.
It sort-of does all that already. If you highlight the section you want to record over, you get a right-click option to 'punch in', and this is quite flexible. You can then right-click on the tracks you have piled on each other and select the one you want on top.
I have to say that a lot of people don't like this the way it is, because it keeps everything, regardless Even if you don't want it previous takes any more, they don't get automatically overwritten. This is supposedly a safety feature...
It doesn't exactly make comping that easy either. But with a little practice you can make it work, as long as you don't mind using several tracks to keep things clear, and bounce comped stuff down to a new track. I don't do this too often, but when I tried it last, it seemed to work fine.
I am kinda new to Audition have only been working w/ it for a few months, so I am not sure if I have just not stumbled into these features or if they just don't exist.
it's one of the things I like to do, think of ways to improve something.
It's quite a good idea to explore quite a bit before posting too much - the vast majority of things people want to do have already been implemented, one way or another, but they aren't always so easy to spot. The manual and help files will help you quite a bit though - they are worthy of quite a bit of study if you are relatively new to the prog - it's deeper than you might think, and because it gets used professionally, all of the really important stuff
is there, I think you'll find. There are all sorts of gimmicks that could be added, but they would hardly ever be used, and most of them would just clutter up the interface. Coming up with all sorts of suggestions is all very well, but it has to be done in the light of the overall ethos of the program, or it will very likely be ignored.
