Cons

“Just still not a fan of their licensing set up, I'd rather pay once for software and have updates up to a certain point. Plus the software crashing quite frequently.”

“My only frustration with Audition is there are options on the market that accomplish many of the same functionalities without being a monthly subscription price.”
