"The best tool for audio finishing touches"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

After I finish working with any audio I always do a quick pass in audition and if needed work more thoroughly in it until it achieves the desired quality for the sound or video that is going to be distributed, it helps me catch those little details that otherwise can go unnoticed and as a plus, the GUI is in Spanish, I like to work in my native language whenever possible

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

It isn't intuitive at all, normally when working with music maker or acid I can easily ask my coworkers for feedback and they can point quite easily where it needs to be improved since practically all understand how to deal with the software even if they never have seen it before but audition while powerful is just hard to understand at first glance

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

Polishing audio and video that is going to be launched for distribution

"Like audacity but a lot more advanced"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I have been a user of Audacity for long since my main focus isn't the audio but I needed to work on it from time to time, but in short, Audition is a lot like Audacity but with a lot of advanced audio edition features that I hardly ever use and with a really big extra, the easiness of editing and sending to after effects or premiere pro without needing to save the file and exporting, that saves a lot of time and avoids an understandable loss of focus for the task switching.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

It isn't really needed a lot anymore but MIDI isn't supported. I know it isn't its main focus but supporting an extra audio format that hardly increases the size or complexity of the program should be a no brainer

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

Editing audio for tasks more complicated than increasing or decreasing the volume when working with premier pro or after effects

"A great tool for sound mixing for media creators"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

The integration with premier pro or after-effects makes this my tool of choice. I'm not a sound creator so things like vega would offer me the same functionality with the slight penalty of importing and exporting the sound. Normalizing the sound and that way removing spikes of high noise or upping the volume in areas that sound too quiet is something that takes less than a minute when you get to know the shortcuts. Contrary to other Adobe suite programs this is not a resource intensive program so if for any reason I need to correct something on the go I can do it from almost every machine I own without fearing I may ran out of memory.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Sometimes when opening a Premiere Pro file containing Motion Graphic Templates can cause playback issues, it's usually not an issue but when it happens it's just better to try to use another program like audacity, saves the headache of trying to fix this as far as I'm aware there is no workaround.

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

Editing audio and sound levels to make sure that the videos I produce are a delight to watch.

"Editing Audio Has Never Been Easier"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I really like how Adobe Audition offers a variety of ways for the user to produce the audio needed for a given project. For instance, the user can go in and make edits to a single clip via the waveform editor, or they can adjust the timing, and effects of multiple tracks via the multitrack editor. As with most Adobe products, the real strong suit is the compatibility that Audition has with other applications within the creative suite. I will routinely edit an audio track in Audition, and then import it into either Premier Pro or After Effects. Being able to move freely between the applications without need for conversions has been a real timesaver when it comes to completing projects. I've also resurrected projects thought to be "dead" because of poorly captured audio. The Noise Reduction (process) effect is something that all audio techs should become familiar with, because it can safe you a lot of reshoots and/or worry.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Sometimes I get confused working within Audition, as the navigation is slightly different than the video editing and compositing programs like Premier Pro and After Effects. Sometimes I will unknowingly be importing a file into the wrong project. It's not a huge drawback, you just need to be aware of what you're doing when you're working within audition.

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

Cleaning up audio recordings, reworking timing of audio elements, and converting music to the right format.

"The Gold Standard in Audio Editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Audition is packed with features which scale with the experience of the user. If you're a novice, Audition works great as a simple editor with easy cut-and-paste functionality. For intermediates and experts, no audio editing software has more depth in terms of tools at your disposal. As someone who edits multi-track audio for podcasts and creates audio for presentations, Audition has made my jobs easier and more efficient.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

The only issue I have with the way Adobe pushes out updates is that every new version of Audition - assigned by year 2018, 2019, 2020, etc. - is pushed as an entirely new program, as opposed to just an update to the existing install. As a result, I've ended up with multiple installs of what is essentially the same program which does encroach on hard drive space. I'm sure there's a reason it's done that way, but I don't understand it.

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

I use Audition to edit multi-track audio for a podcast series I produce. I started in 2014 using Audacity, a free-to-use, open source product, that was functional, but not easy to use. I upgraded to Audition starting in 2016 and, immediately, my editing time was cut in half and the quality of the output product increased dramatically. I started editing audio for presentations in 2017 and the ability to use Audition as a DAW, record directly into the software, and edit on the fly has been invaluable.

"Great software to fix your audio especially working with Premiere"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Very easy to use, I start using it years ago to reduce noise for my videos. Also able to tune the audio to small room, big hall, enhance voice, etc.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

The audio recording workflow isn't as good. I would prefer not to use Logic or ProTools for simple voice over recording, so I use Audition most of the time, but it just doesn't work as good.

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

I can quickly go from Premiere to Audition and do quick fix on the audio, and automatically replace the audio in Premiere when I'm done fixing the audio, it's all about efficient

"Adobe Audition application is the best and simple software for song melody composing and editing."
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

This software provides education as a subject to the students in our institute and all the music editing and recording are done by this software. The tools in this software and sound effects Delay, reverb, tempo and time management such sound parameters can be edited over a wide range of applications. Advanced multi-band graphic equation can also be used to filter background or unwanted sound. In fact, a large number of students at our institute have released their great creations using this software. Adobe Audition is also very well supported with the sound card we use.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

The previous version had minor issues and with the new version, we were able to fix those issues.

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

Adobe products serve the students in our organization and this software provides a great service. Students are very interested in this editing and recording section and currently, adobe audition is used by more than 3000 students. This software is designed to suit the needs of students as well as music teachers and makes it very easy for me to give lectures in this regard.

"The best software to edit your clips!"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

The Adobe family software are the best tools for creativity purposes and help a lot for the production process. Adobe Audition is one of them because it helps you to edit your audio clips, as for audio production purposes as for creativity flow for your project in addition with other software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, or Adobe After Effects.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

I don't like a lot the introduction of some useful functions such as the combination of Vst, DAW functions and tools to create music from zero.

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

In my work as graphic designer and musician Adobe Audition helped and helps me a lot because with the software I can modify my audio clips and delete for example the background noise from them. Another tool that I use is the clipper to edit the track and save that in a second moment exporting to mp3 or wav format that preserves the quality of the recording.

"Adobe Audition Review"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Adobe Audition is such a very awesome software because of its incredible features for audio editing for example the Equalizers, pitch correction, reverb, and many more others. Another breathtaking feature that makes Audition very useful and time saving is the multitrack. One is able to combine a number of audios and also be able to mix them down into one. Audition can greatly support a variety of audio formats but also convert them to the best types.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

Though very important an application Adobe Audition is, new users may find it hard to cope up with it because it doesn’t offer any feature to help users. The interface is also not that very attractive to convince a user that they are using the best audio editing software. One other not so big problem is that some of Audition’s features are not so easy to use and may be confusing for some people.

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

It is very simple for me but also enjoyable to edit a great deal of audio elements with my Adobe Audition Software. I recently managed to edit and mix up vocals of a young singer with an instrumental using Audition and the outcome was no different from a song produced by music recording software like Logic Pro and Fruity Loops. Apart from all that, i can easily record our daily newscast for the company just using Audition and edit it there and then
