Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Audition

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.

  • Increased my revenue
  • Cut down on my work time since I have templates macros implemented.
Audacity is a simple editor that most people will only ever need, especially if you are on a budget. But for more advanced control of your audio, Adobe Audition is a better choice. The reason I have said that I've used Adobe Audition for over 20 years (it hasn't been out that long under its current name) is because I used its predecessor, Cool Edit Pro. I used the program in my job for years and was happy that when Adobe purchased it, they didn't ruin it, but improved it.
I don't typically need support, but Adobe has a knowledge base and forums. Because Abode Audition is so mainstream, there is a tone of YouTube tutorials out there that cover a wide variety of subjects. This is the advantage of purchasing mainstream software the level of support and help you will find out there.

Adobe Audition is a powerhouse. If you are only doing simple audio editing, maybe this is not for you. But if you like having the option of multi-track editing, many filters, and the control over your sound, then Audition is your choice. I deal with vintage radio programs that some were transferred from tapes to a digital form, and sometimes you get the whine, like a squeaky wheel. To have the ability to see the audio in a frequency GUI and isolate frequencies is just amazing.
