Pros

“What I like most about Adobe Audition when it comes to customer support, security, value for money, recording, effects, user interface, and audio editing is that the program is very intuitive for users and allows a lot of creativity.”

Amy D.

Consultant

“Adobe Audition has a plethora of tools to edit, fix, and adjust audio for high quality audio output.”

Anne O.

Senior Learning Designer and Developer

“I have used it for several years for recording and editing voiceovers for eLearning courses and videos, often with with music underlays using stock audio.”

Lorie F.

Instructional Designer

Pros

“The UI was a bit confusing at first, but there was plenty of online material to guide once I started looking.”

Tyler C.

Project Lead

“Recently discovered the remote control feature, which comes in real handy when recording from behind the drum kit.”

Brett C.

Producer

“The quakity of the output is great.”

Gordon S.

Musician

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.”

Sean C.

Videographer Accredited Drone Operator

“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.”

Michael O.

Communications Project Manager

“Confusing to navigate without researching how-to tutorials online.”

Tyler C.

Designer

Cons

“Furthermore, there are some very counterintuitive functions, like using right-click to select audio clips (trying to change this in Preferences is a real headache that I could never resolve) that will cause headaches for new users.”
