"Seamless Integration with Premier"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

By far the best is Audition's ability to integrate seamlessly with Adobe Premiere. Sending audio between the two programs is a breeze. The UI is very intuitive and helps keep projects organized effortlessly. In addition the time-stretch works great for changing the speed of an audio clip without affecting the pitch, with far less artifacting than compared to Apple Logic.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Some of the plugins were a bit buggy. The biggest offender was the single band compressor, which from time to time would cause the software to force quit unexpectedly, losing all me work from the last save. This problem seems to have been addressed with and Apple OS update, however it's worth noting in case any other updates cause similar issues.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Audition's integration has greatly improved the speed with which we can get spots out to air. The ability to send audio mixes back and forth between Audition and Premiere is so much more convenient than our previous workflow. The time-stretch implementation also helps us fit lengthy audio clips into time restrictions (such as disclaimer VO's), with much better results than our previous software.

"Great Software. Not the best Interface"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Very versatile! Able to manipulate both audio and instrumentals very easily. As always Adobe delivers a great piece of software. This software is great for podcast and voice over clean up, which was my primary use for this software.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

I personally dislike the layout of Adobe products. The interface is bland and starting at the this screen for extended periods of time can be monotonous. However, this is just my opinion, if you're fond of Adobe layouts and design this will look and feel very familiar.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adobe Audition was allowing me to quickly edit and export my audio files for voiceovers. One of the biggest issues I have with creating content is the time required to edit each and every video, specifically audio clean up. This application was a great asset in reducing the time I wasted on audio.

"Great for all user-levels"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Ease of use, import/export options and most of all the intuitive interface.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

The slightly technical interface, that might deter first-time users. The help section can do with an upgrade with regards to usability.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recording, mixing and generating desired outputs for the theatre, is the main reason I use this software. There isn't a lot of financial support in the theatre at present, limiting the use of expensive studio equipment. Audition make professional quality audio possible.

"For video editors, it doesn't get better."
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

What I love about Audition is how it's designed with video editors in mind, and not necessarily sound professionals. While pro tools (no pun intended) are there, everything is arranged to feel familiar to video editors. For filmmaking teams of 1, this is a big deal. Certain features are life-savers for everyday editing tasks. Remix automatically analyzes music and finds loopable or removable sections to get a song to fit any time. Retime intelligently adjusts the speed of a piece of audio—a line of voice over, for example—and lets you adjust the length while keeping pitch and overall feel natural. This is great for ADR. The sound reduction and noise removal features in Audition are truly unbelievable at times. Nothing beats getting it right when shooting, but this can come close! Even simple features are helpful for my work, like generating a robot voice to a script, keeps me from having to listen to my voice as scratch audio while I wait for a voice over artist.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

My biggest issue with Audition is it's lack of integration into the Dynamic Link world of Adobe video products. What this program needs is a Dynamic Link workflow exactly like After Effects and Premiere have, where you can send a handful of clips to Audition, and have a single track in Premiere automatically update with changes in the Audition multitrack file.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

The primary business problem this solves is saving me time. Remix, one of the newest features, is all about that.

"Very Good Experience for beginners "
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I found Adobe audition to be very user friendly. I was a novice at audio editing prior to using it and I felt like it catered to my lack of experience.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

As I start to gain more experience and go into more professional audio editing, I believe I'll need a more intricate and detailed editing system.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think the main benefit is that it is a great system to use while learning audio editing.

"Editing Audio in Audition for Video and Multimedia Projects"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Very similar interface to other Adobe products. Works seamlessly with Premiere making it ideal for in depth audio editing for video pieces. Easy to export / import content.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Certain audio tracks will load, but not always play initially. I also find that opening audition with premiere slows down both programs considerably and sometimes they become glitchy (though to be fair, my computer may just be too slow to handle multiple large Adobe programs).

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have generally used Audition in combination with Premiere for audio editing on video projects and occasionally on other multimedia projects such as "sound slides" and other audio-web elements. I find that it delivers the best performance when trying to balance multiple tricky audio levels in one project.

"The audio counterpart to the Adobe Creative Suite Family"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

It has everything you'd expect from a high-end audio editor: buses, mixes, multitrack capabilities and powerful effects. However, the thing that makes this perfect for us is that it integrates with the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

I would like the ability to open a new multitrack without having to create a folder full of small files. Sometimes I want to open a new session and throw it away without cluttering up my disk. I also find that it sometimes struggles when recording from Dante Virtual Soundcard, something that Logic Pro X didn't seem to have a problem with.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is great for when I choose Premiere to edit a project and want really fine control over the different audio tracks flying around - it lets you do so much more than you can with just a video editor.

"For Dialoge editing works great"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Easy workflow to get used to, easy to use plugins. I'm using it primarily for audio VO and Radio editing, so the ability to move audio in and out of Premiere is great. I use the iZotope RX suite with it, and it works as expected. And, frankly, I'm already paying for it in the Creative Cloud, so I'm glad it meets my needs with no additional cost.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

it's a beefy application, so it sometimes feels like overkill for trimming heads and tails of an interview. It takes a minute or so to start up on my 2 year old macbook pro, which is fine if I have a big session to work on, but for an edit that takes 5 minutes, it slows me down. The other gripe I have is I have to put a file into a Multi-track session to do most of the splices I want to do. A stereo single file session has limited editing options. I get why that is the case, but it just makes an extra step for me when I have some quick splicing to do.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Editing audio files for video and audio recordings, de-noising dialogue, and compressing/format converting audio files. The major benefit is that I already have the license through Adobe Creative Cloud, so I don't have to find or buy an additional product.

"A geat tool if you want to stay within Adobe. "
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I really like the simplicity of the program, as well as the great built in tools that quickly get the job done. In addition, just like the other Adobe products now built into creative cloud, you can seamlessly work within Audition and have it apply directly to your project through the linking system without the need to export/import..

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

There is nothing that I dislike about Audition. It's a powerful program that has so far allowed me to make any necessary audio adjustments or add effects. Audio is not my strongest area, so I like that Audition is simple enough that I can easily do what I need to do, but powerful enough to get more complicated jobs done.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

The fact that Audition is built into the Adobe suite and links between projects greatly improves my productivity. Instead of opening a different audio program (pro-tools for example), working on my project, exporting the audio, and then importing it where I need it to go, I simply send the audio to Audition from Premiere Pro for example, work on it, and it saves directly back to my Premiere Pro project. This allows me to make adjustments, add effects, or do anything I need to do quickly and efficiently. On top of that, Audition does a great job even when used as a standalone program.

"My preferred audio processing application."
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I love the comprehensive effects list that allows me to process my seperately recorded audio. It helps me process my podcast dialog and make it sound right and proper. The noise reduction processing is also pretty good too.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

As with most Adobe software, the user interface is not something I'm a fan of. I think they could simply this more.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Often times we need to add a compressor and noise reduction to the podcasts we record, so we always drop the WAVs directly into audition and run our processes. Always pleased with the customability and how good the audio sounds after the fact. It's also nice that it plays super well with Premiere.

"The best DAW system that a Sound Engineer doesn't use"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I like that Adobe has an extensive range of plugins and libraries that can collaborate quickly on Adobe Audition, especially when working on Adobe Premier projects.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

It's convenient, especially when working on an Adobe Premier project. The downside is it is not the most commonly used format in the market, so importing/exporting files is a problem.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have not encountered massive problems with using Adobe Audition. The only downside that I encounter is that most of the projects that I edit use ProTools, Sonar and Abelton. That's on a multi-track recording project. I normally use Adobe Audition as a quick audio edit when editing videos using Premier Pro

"Intuitive but a little clunky"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I like the way Audition is organized and how the layout is presented. The interface responds nicely and editing is relatively easy. The labeling and color coding of tracks is nice.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

I feel that Audition does not utilize the CPU and RAM as best as it could. When I build out large projects playback gets a little sketchy and doesn't always work. I often need to pre-render tracks to get playback to work.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Audition is included in the creative cloud all apps subscription and is just easy to open and start using. I really like the fact I can add plugins, (should be a standard feature regardless). It makes doing proper sound mixes for video projects a lot easier.

"I could not edit high quality videos without this program!"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I love both it's a ability to quickly and effectively fix audio issues, as well as its direct integration with Adobe Premiere. I use this on almost every video project I work on and it gives me a HUGE increase in quality for a very minimal time commitment

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Sometimes saving and reaccessing projects can be a pain. Just the structure that Audition using for saving files--its not the most intuitive or use friendly. But if you take the time to learn and adjust to it, it's not so bad.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me it's all about fixing audio within video. Because of the locations we shoot in, it's virtually impossible for me to shoot interviews without a great deal of noise in them. But with having audition, I never have to worry because not only does it make removing that noise seamless, it does an extremely good job with it as well.

"Logiciel de haute qualité pour l'édition audio"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

J'aime que cette application permette l'application de plusieurs réglages à un document. L'intégration de Premiere à Audition rend l'audio complexe de modifier un cliché sans perdre le meilleur 1, par exemple, j'aime avoir le potentiel de prendre des documents audio que j'ai enregistrés à partir d'un tournage et de les éditer dans des détails exquis avant de les placer correctement. dans un défi Lorsque vous stockez vos modifications, l'audio nouvellement édité remplace l'ancien clip dans Premiere Pro.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Il faut un certain temps pour examiner ce que chaque impact ou paramètre fait pour votre rapport audio. Il fait ce qu’il souhaite faire pour de petits travaux - vous aurez besoin d’un logiciel plus puissant, comme ProTools. Je n'aime pas certaines des commandes malgré le fait que je les connais assez bien depuis des années d'utilisation de Cool Edit Pro et d'Audition. L'interface est fade et commencer sur cet écran pendant de longues périodes peut être monotone - interface plutôt chaotique, des tas de choses que personne ne peut gérer depuis le début sont jetées à la face - trop d'impact, que les noms n'en disent pas beaucoup - l'utilisateur pourrait avoir un avantage si la dénomination des effets devenait plus conviviale comme "voix fantôme" ou "loup-garou"

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

L’interface et l’équipement ne sont pas aussi intuitifs que les autres DAW, et la prise en charge des VST et des fichiers MIDI évoluerait. Le fichier correspondant n’a pas d’engin numérique ni de suivi MIDI. Il faut un certain temps pour apprendre ce que chaque effet ou paramètre fait dans votre rapport audio. Il faut également un certain temps pour rechercher ce que chaque effet ou chaque effet place dans votre enregistrement audio,

"A quality audio editor with integration into the whole creative cloud"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I think this is a pretty powerful audio editor, especially when you consider that it's all rolled in as a part of the creative cloud suite.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

It lacks certain features and customization like it's Avid counter part pro tools. but it's a very serviceable editor

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

It adds a much more powerful audio editing then premiere can offer, and makes any kind of serious audio editing a much easier process.

"Not the best DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) but cerntainaly a good one!"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Adobe Audition is a great DAW, in my opinion it is best suited to making podcasts or radio shows. it has an easy learning curve and the monthly payment plan makes it easier on your wallet because you do not have to pay the full price right away, especially good for trialing the software for a few months. customer support is also great!

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

For now i will stick to Cubase, there is not nearly as many features as cubase or pro tools and some essential tools for me are missing.

What problems is Adobe Audition solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing because i have returned to Cubase
