I use Adobe Audition to equalize, filter, modify db gain or loss and edit the soundtrack of my classes. I record classes for training courses on radiation protection. It's the most versatile and complete program to edit sound that I found. I also use it for mixing my soundtracks. Every time I travel, I mix a different playlist special for that occasion. As my main source of songs are downloaded, one have a particular volume that is more low or high than the other and I just do not like to adjust my car volume as I'm driving. I also cut claps and cheap talk from beginning or ending of live recording. When I'm using a DOW for make my own tracks, I use to finalize it with the help of Adobe Audition.

My team records and produces podcasts for the organization. We use Audition to record, edit, and final mix all of our content. We also use it to clean up audio for videos, as well as record voiceovers for slide presentations and other projects. Anything related to sound is worked on in Audition.

At Intertel, we use Adobe Audition to record and create tutorials for our clients and suppliers. Since we make our own software and manage our own support team, we try and make as many tutorials as possible, and we have found that some clients actually prefer audio-only tutorials rather than video tutorials. Also, we record our own "internal" podcast for the team, with the latest info and news from all the departments, and send it out once a month. Lastly, we have a weekly call with our directors and the board, and we record it and use Audition to clean the audio, eliminate any pops and noises, and save it for future reference.

Adobe Audition is a fairly powerful tool that outdoes alternative free options for audio editing/sweetening, and offers a robust set of tools for quick cutting and exporting. I use Audition whenever I'm working with audio files, which is quite frequent.

I use Adobe Audition (not to it's full advantage) but to "finalize" a song after its been produced. I like being able to see the entire waveform of a song to see peaks and any dead spaces. I also use it alot to truncate songs and sometimes even add my fades. I have used it in the past for more in depth things, but here lately, I've mostly been using it for truncation and fades. It also helps a lot that I can save the song into different formats such as mp3, mp3 pro, WAV, etc...

Also, the program is not very processor intensive and can incorporate vst effects, which can be very helpful at times.

I started working for the radio some 15 years ago and started using Adobe Audition since then. We still use it and get most of our work done through audition. Primarily, it is used for audio recording but we do all sorts of things audio-related with it. We have 4 stations in all major cities and Adobe Audition is used across the whole organization. Recording, editing, noise reduction, mastering, and post-productions - Adobe takes care of everything.

At first, it was difficult for me to understand the program, what and how it works, its many functions, what this is for, and so on. There are a lot of sound processing modes. Then I got used to the program and started using it with ease. The program will be very necessary for those who want to open their own recording studio, or simply record the tracks themselves at home if they have the opportunity and just in case a good microphone. So, I downloaded this program in order to record tracks or read tracks of other famous rappers, make covers on them.

Adobe Audition is being used across a couple of departments in our organization. The Production Department is the main use of the software, while our Programming Department uses it regularly as well. Our Production Department at iHeart Media produces client spots and must turn things around quickly in most cases, which is one of Audition's strong suits. Programming produces sweepers and jingles for our radio stations that make use of Audition's multitrack editing. I assist both of these departments and use Audition on a weekly basis. It's the best tool for Audio production and editing that I've ever come across.

Our company uses Adobe Audition to record and edit audio for our YouTube videos. The main problem that Adobe Audition solves is having a professional audio recording/editing software. The fact that it has an infinite amount of features, tools and audio effects is also a game changer. Even though it is a huge investment, I can safely say that it is worth the money.

Audition is currently used primarily for a podcast production and occasionally accompanies a video project. Audition has given me full control over my audio production while integrating very well into other Premiere and AfterEffect projects as needed. Powerful tools, such as adaptive noise reduction, makes it reasonable for someone not formally educated in audio production to produce great sounding audio.

We use Audition within my department to edit a podcast. The podcast is called Notre Dame Stories, and runs every 3 weeks during the academic year at the University of Notre Dame. The podcast features narrative storytelling as well as interviews with faculty and students who are engaging in interesting research and creating knowledge in a variety of disciplines.

I primarily use Adobe Audition for recording rather than audio editing. I find the user interface suitable for easily recording on-site on my MacBook Pro laptop. I can do rudimentary audio editing as I go, and set up audio buses for basic effects like noise gates and compression. It additionally has nice integration with Adobe Premiere for when you are doing audio recording or editing for use in video and motion graphics. I've used Audition for recording interviews, voice-overs, software, and other product demos, and for customer development purposes to get a record of customer feedback.

We are solely using Adobe Audition for audio-cleanup for our video production. We import the audio from recorded video and clean it up to make it pitch-perfect, remove noise, etc. It gives our video that professional quality audio that we desire, which we find to be very important for video retention.

Adobe Audition is one of the best audio editing tools available on the market. I use Adobe Audition for all of my audio editing needs; including editing podcasts, music or dialogue for videos, or creative side projects. I also use the tools in Adobe Audition alongside Adobe's full creative cloud suite of products for creating digital media.

I use Adobe Audition in several ways. 1) I do weekly trivia voice where I not only record my voice to intro things, but some of my trivia games (that I create) require the use of Adobe Audition to edit and manipulate songs. 2) I do a daily podcast that I record and edit in Adobe Audition.

We create weekly podcasts with Adobe Audition, and we have been doing so since 2012. Before that, we used Audacity and other free tools. They were great and highly recommended too, but the time came when we needed to step up our game. We found ourselves sometimes wanting to go back to the free tools, but as time went by and our expertise increased, we found ourselves getting so many benefits from Adobe Audition that we could never go back.

I have used Adobe Audition at several companies, all for similar purposes. My primary use for it is to record, edit, and clean up audio files to be used with training videos I make. It allowed for me to make professional quality audio recordings without having to invest heavily in studio time, or in studio equipment.

In the learning and development space, there is a consistent need to develop content in a way that uses many different formats including rich multimedia such as audio, video, and interactivity. Adobe Audition makes the audio development process much easier. From removing background noise, to amplifying volume, improving the EQ ratios, or enhancing various other elements, Adobe Audition gives users the ability to create perfect sounding audio in nearly every case. It's as they say - garbage in, garbage out, so there are certain limitations of the software. However, Adobe Audition has powerful default tools and settings that make cleaning up audio much easier, especially for novice users.

While I mostly use FCPX for my editing (save for visual FX, where I use Adobe AF), Audition has been a great go-to software for more technical audio editing. FCPX has fairly robust options for audio editing but it doesn't have nearly the capabilities and feature set Audition does.

In our organization, we use Adobe Audition as part of Creative Cloud to edit, mix, and do post-production on audio files used on multiple videos we produce in house for global distribution. Tasks such as these would be not impossible but extremely hard to do without a tool as complete as Audition.

Adobe Audition is being used alongside our in-house media production. We have several instances where we've created a video using interviews and on-site footage. We, on several occasions, make sure that our audio quality is just as good, if not better, then the video captures. Video without proper audio is unusable.

Adobe Audition is used by the organization to create, edit and convert audio files used for our various media outlets. Videos are produced for youtube, Instagram and other mobile social media outlets but the audio is edited in Audition before finalizing any of the media that will be published. This solves the issue of having audio that is not quite up to scratch and allowing us to fix it on the fly.

We currently use Adobe Audition to cut/crop music tracks for our promotional videos. Other programs lack in cutting audio in the same way Adobe Audition does. I know Audition is a more technical program that allows for far greater work in it, but that's what we use it for in our company.

Audition is primarily used by myself in the company. It helps to create podcasts, as well as altering and correcting problems with audio files. For both audio (wav) in podcasts, and in video production to adjust and correct problems with the video's audio.
