“I like the fact that it is a "punch recording" DAW. ( DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION). Unlike other DAW's, in Audition you can delete the mistakes you make as you record. No need to keep all the good and bad stuff in, and spend an eternity removing the bad stuff during post production. It's the best feature about it, because it's a huge time saver, especially for long form narrations.”
