Leo Laporte might go 100% Mac: "So long Suckah"

Leo Laporte, podcaster extraordinare and the web's general tech-guru-on-steroids, has blogged that the Soundbooth beta Adobe a ounced today just might let him jump ship to the Mac entirely. Since the first days of his podcasting adventures, Leo's been using Adobe's Audition for all his podcast recording and editing, but it's Windows only. While Soundbooth i 't entirely a Mac counterpart (Leo's initial impre io are that it's an "Audition Elements"), his "So Long Suckah" post title sounds like he's optimistic.

Still, I agree with Leo and I'm a little disa ointed in the offering. Soundbooth's biggest ding right now is that it only does single track recording and editing. For Adobe's girth as a company, I'm a bit surprised this feature is mi ing. Here's hoping the term 'beta' is a lied for every ounce it's worth right now.

Either way, it's nice to hear Leo might be able to make the jump entirely. One le workflow intrusion is a good thing.
