Yes.  I downloaded and installed CS6 this morning.  (Had, in the end, pre-ordered the download and the email with download instructions was sent by Adobe this morning.)

Well looks like I'll have to lock myself in the studio with a do not disturb sign tomorrow.  Looking forward this latest release.

Cheers

Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Yes!

Okay, I've been using Audition CS 6 for 2 full days now and  I haven't felt this excited since 1.5 and version 3.   With the latest updates it still loads fast, Clip Grouping is back and better then ever.  The media browser makes my workflow complete as everything is accessable in the work area.  Recording clients that go over by a second or two and using the new stretch feature works quite well.     Bringing in settings from CS 5.5 was a help too. FLipping back and forth between wave and multitrack view seems more robust, but that could be I've had too many cups of coffee.    Maybe I haven't found it yet but when I create a new session I was hoping when I build commercials and narrations I would be able to create a new audio file record on the fly and then save it in the session I'm using.  I still have to head to the folder the session is located in before saving new audio as was the case in CS 5.5.  I was hoping it would have the current session folder as the default for saving new audio in a session but I can live with that.     Like I said two days in and so far I'm a happy camper.  

To give you a scenario of what I mean.   In radio production I'm mixing merrily away when a sales rep comes into the studio with a client revision on the commercial I'm currently working on that has about ten different tail outs and within them tomorrow is the last day, today is the...etc.   So as not to mess with the mix - in a session- I flip to the wave editor and do the revision to pop back into the session to continue.  Not a big deal, but that scenario is VERY common in radio.   Of course I could put a lock on the door and pretend I'm not in.  LOL

How is it better than it was in Version 3?

Well firstly, I know there are still some things not implemented in CS 6 that were in Audition 3 but I still have 3 a click away for those rare occassions.   To the question of why is it better?   I run a pretty fast pc and  Audition 3 took ages to load, it would close unexpectidly from time to time for no reason (yes I could bring it all back with the continue feature) and volume and pan nodes now seem very sluggish.  With CS 6, thus far,  speed and interaction is the big one.  It loads about 10x faster than 3 and the layout is more intuitive and nodes, sfx, racks etc are very fast and solid so far.   Media browser is another big one, listen on the fly, and pop it into your work area where you want and the clip grouping and stretching are glitch free too .  There is nothing wrong with 3 and it'll still be in my toolbox while CS 5.5 will now be filed away.  It's the speed and customization of things in CS 6 that makes my production work day so much easier.

I haven't tried external plugins yet and your mileage may vary but for me CS6 is a very solid.
