Que ce soit pour un simple mixage audio, ou en parallele de Premiere Pro ou After Effect, Adobe Audition permet vraiment de faire vrais petits miracles parfois. C'est un outil indispensable pour celui qui veut parfaire les bandes sons pour les réseaux sociaux, ou autres projets divers. Un must !
Chaque mise à jour du logiciel apporte son lot d'amélioration qui permet d'automatiser des fonctionnalités qui nous prenaient autrefois un temps considérable à réaliser. L'immense majeure partie des outils nécessaires à l'élaboration de pistes audio pour la musique, le podcast, les effets spéciaux, les films, etc... y sont disponibles. Adobe Audition est un vrai couteau suisse du son, de l'enregistrement et du mixage audio.
Maîtriser le logiciel demande beaucoup de temps, et le nombre de fonctionnalités font que, parfois, il est assez déroutant de s'y retrouver, ou de simplement trouver instinctivement comment faire certaines opérations. Heureusement, Internet regorge de vidéos et autre tutoriels pour venir à la rescousse de ces moments là.

Devo dire che lo trovo un software abbastanza facile da essere usato a tutti i livelli e abbastanza intuitivo. In tutto ciò però rimane un software completo e non sento la mancanza di nulla. Quando lo insegno a neofiti si trovano particolarmente bene. Inoltre spesso è già presente nel pacchetto Adobe dei miei clienti e non devo farglielo acquistare apposta.
Devo dire che cambiare software non è mai un bel momento: passi da essere super esperta su un software all'impiegare due ore a fare le operazioni più basilari. In questo caso invece il passaggio ad Adobe Audition è stato facilissimo: è enormemente intuitivo, sia visivamente che a livello di ricerca funzionalità. L'uso che consiglio è quello tramite shortcut a tastiera: una mano su mouse o trackpad...
Da gennaio 2023, con la versione di Adobe 2023 in abbinamento con MacM2 ho sperimentato tantissimi crash: davvero troppi. Ci sono stati momenti in cui ho pensato di cambiare software perchè non facevo in tempo a salvare che il tutto crashava. Spero che questi bug siano risolti al piu prestoInoltre voglio segnalare che i plugin nativi, soprattutto EQ e COMPR non sono meravigliosi, quindi consiglio l'abbinamento con plugin esterni. Se si attiva un plugin nativo nel rack effetti, mi rendo conto che modifica la voce sulla traccia, anche se quel plugin risulta spento. L'unico modo è eliminarlo dalla traccia effetti. Anche questo è un aspetto che rivedrei. Se posso suggerire: manca la funzione per compattare autonomamente gli spazi vuoti (se superiori ad un tot di tempo)

At the beginning of my learning of Adobe Audition, I felt difficult to learn it and how to apply effects, but after practice and learning, it became an integral part of the program
If you upload audio clips to podcasts or YouTube clips, you should care about the audio quality, here I must remind you of Adobe Audition. Adobe Audition helped me a lot with this, delivering high quality audio with a very professional fidelity. Adobe Audition stands out from all the other audio programs because it combines all the features in one program, which is such a nice thing that you don't...
Just as there are many positives in it, I must mention the negatives that I experienced. Adobe Audition has a difficult user interface, you will feel confused when using it for the first time and you need time to learn and master the effects and how to apply them, because the program is not intended for beginners in the world of audio production

Es la herramienta todo en uno de aquellos que nos dedicamos a la edición de audio.
Hace muy fácil es trabajo de edición con sus entornos de trabajo, sus plugins perfeccionan la calidad de audio grabado, el proceso de configuración es muy simple y la interface gráfica con graficos hace la tarea muy sencilla. Puedes añadir plugins VST de terceros lo cual lo hace más potente.
Hay que dominarlo con mucha práctica ya que no es tan simple su operación

I have been using Adobe Audition (and its predecessor incarnation, Cool Edit Pro) for decades at this point. I have used it to record half a dozen indie rock albums, make music mixes for radio programs, and record multiple podcast episodes. Adobe Audition can transform anyone's computer into a powerful, fully featured recording, mixing, and mastering studio. It is easy to use and has all of the features industry professionals expect: waveform editing, waveform manipulation, multitrack recording and mixing, mastering filters, and more. All of these come wrapped in a fairly easy to learn, easy to use palletized Adobe format. What's more, Audition's synergies with other software (both within the Adobe family and through plugins) means that users are never working in a "walled garden."
Over my two decades using multiple versions of Adobe Audition, I have found little that I don't like. In the early days, I encountered some stability and performance issues with the software, but those don't seem to affect the most recent versions (from the past decade). I could nitpick and wish that some functionality present in plugins was in-built into the software, but that is obviated by the fact that plugins are easy to find and integrate. Probably my biggest gripe with the current iteration of Adobe Audition is its shift to a subscription, software-as-service model. This expense can put this powerful software out of reach for many aspiring recording engineers.

J'ai fait de ce logiciel un allié depuis plus de 10 ans et je ne m'en lasse jamais de l'utiliser. Les concepteurs de ce produit trouvent toujours quelques choses de nouveau pour nous simplifier la tâche.
Un pionnier du traitement audio professionnel, adobe audition est assez polyvalent pour toutes sortes de montage. Grâce à "Adobe Dynamic Link", il permet de traiter directement l'audio d'une vidéo dans première pro. Ce logiciel permet à l'utilisateur d'utiliser autant de pistes qu'il souhaite dans ses montages que se soit en mono, en stéréo ou encore en 5.1.Avec son zoom puissant sur les pistes audio,...
Pour l'application des effets complexes, il faudra qu'on ajoute des effets externes car ceux qui sont présents dans le logiciel sont des effets basiques.

Adobe Audition helps to complete the overall workflow for video editing and can very well be used independently just for audio projects. It is included with the suite of Adobe CC products, so it helps to make it a valuable investment.
What I really like is the simplicity with which it integrates to other products from the Adobe family, and you can go back and forth to edit audio when at Premiere Pro or After Effects.It contains the most fundamental tools to do the job without leaving your digital workflow on your workstation.
I think that it can improve on the way of managing media file elements in a unified way, so that all assets can be managed in a centralized way for a video and audio editing session.

I've tried a lot of audio software during my time as a journalist and audition trumps the lot. Perhaps I'm stuck in my ways (can't teach an old dog new tricks) but it does appear to be the best overall. As mentioned before I love the microphone settings and the ease in which I can make a £100 microphone sound like a £1000 microphone, this is great! Its multitrack editing is awesome and easier to use than pro tools and the like. That said, I've not used audition for music creation or instrumental editing. So my view point is that of voice and trail/promo, interview creation only. I'm sure pro tools will trump adobe when it comes to music production.
The detailed microphone compression settings is without a doubt the best function of adobe audition. It's also great when you need a clean up audio hisses and pops, which can be removed easily.
I guess like most long time adobe users I miss the option of purchase over subscription. I originally bought this software 20 years ago when it was Cool Edit Pro, an expensive purchase at the time. Sadly now, like everyone else, I've had to resort to a monthly or yearly fee, over a single one off expense. So in conclusion, what I like least is the ongoing cost. I also find it a little hard to navigate at times, the help section could be better. A few more sound effects and presets would also be nice.

In my opinion the overall experience is generally positive. It offers a wide range of features and tools that cater to professional audio editing needs. I appreciate its flexibility, advanced functionality, and the ability to work seamlessly with other Adobe products.
1- comprehensive set of audio editing tools .2- support for various audio formats.
1- hard of using for beginners.2- high price compared to other audio editing software.

Using Adobe Audtion has been a welcome experience when it comes to editing videos and managing audio for such videos - moving over from other software solutions, I love how 'un-clunky' Audition is. Full intergration for Adobe libraries make seamless editing when switch between software.
I love that the software, as with most of Adobe's solutions are extremely intuitive and simple to use. Being able to sync audio along to video tracks makes for super smooth editing, especially when editing testimonials & interviews.
Coming from an video editing standpoint, some keyboard shortcuts were originally against what I intuitively knew from NLE video solutions, but this is totally personal preference and it is great that this can be completely customised.

Adobe Audition is a great software for people who have prior experience with audio/video editing. it has all the features you could need! The price isn't the cheapest but you get what you pay for and in the end Adobe Audition is worth the price tag
Adobe audition has so many features others like audacity doesn't have. It allows you to do so much more with your audio files. There's almost an endless amount of edit tools and effects. I did enjoy how much freedom i had and how much detail could go into my voice-overs!
The price can be a bit much and I should also mention that this software is not for beginners you defiantly need to come in with some sort of base understanding of how to edit audio/video files. It can be very overwhelming for anyone just starting out plus I feel learning with a free program is better so you know what things you are looking for in a software that you pay for.

It's a good program for complex and simple audio editing, being easily incorporated with other Adobe programs.
I use it mainly because of it's integration with the other Adobe apps, Premiere Pro and After Effects. It's easy to create tracks and record audio in a multi-track composition. It's good for complex and simple projects.
It's price is a Cons. Audacity it's also a great product and it's free. I don't use it in super complex project so I don't know which is beast, but I know both are good, while one it's paid and the other it's free.

Overall, my experience with the software is very satisfying in handling my voiceover recordings and editing it . It is my first option in comparison to other software related to audio, though I believe I have-not used the software to its full potential. My use to its options is very limited in comparison to its potential.
For me, the strongest part about the software is it's easy to import several tracks, mix and match, add effects, background music,..etc. and at the end export one track. It is simply very easy to handle several tracks all at the same time.
There are no severe cons to the software. On the contrary, the software is full of options and very rich that makes it somehow complicated to use. I believe (me) having experience in other montaging software and a user other adobe software made it easy for me to use adobe audition, though I believe I still have not used the software to its full potential, there is yet a lot to discover ...What stops...

As a Videographer who needs to learn to use sound editing as a tool, but doesn't have the education of a Sound Engineer, this is a fantastic software only limited by what you know. I've heard many say that Logic is a much better option, or even Pro Tools, but it's hard to argue with Audition's functionality when accessible through the Creative Cloud. I would typically much rather try to resolve any audio issues or projects within Premiere Pro, but there are certain limitations and details missing that are an absolute need, that Audition does have. Give it a shot and you won't be disappointed.
You can pretty much do anything sound related. Recording options, tons of compressions and EQ templates and effects to get you started which are endlessly customizable. Far beyond my ability is isolating frequencies or removing them, but I have seen it done. The creativity also knows no bounds, as through Audition I was able to recreate the sound effect of a phone conversation. It's very visually appealing as well, great use of color and the interface is overwhelming, yet it exudes professionalism.
As is the issue with all Adobe software, there is a steep learning curve. Half the battle is knowing the tools there are to apply, but the other half is knowing where they are in the program. It could more than likely be better laid out to in a more user-friendly manner so the overwhelming factor decreases. This is where other programs like Logic excel.

Through Adobe Audition, I was able to make high-resolution audio clips professionally using the effects inside it. I gained more than 4 years of experience and enjoyed the results that I always came out with. It is a more than wonderful program and I will never be able to do without it.
There are many programs that offer audio editing features, but none are as high-resolution and professional as Adobe Audition because it has more than great tools and more subtle details that it allows in editing. I used Adobe Audition to edit audio and upload it to a podcast, applied many effects and used many features that I liked a lot like FFT filters to improve audio quality, Pitch Bender and Pitch Shifter effects, noise reduction, standard equalizer and some echo to the audio. One of the features that I loved about Adobe Audition is that it has a large audio library without any ownership rights if you upload it to social networking sites such as YouTube
One of the problems I had when I started working with the program was that I wasn't used to mastering the user interface because it was difficult, and because I found it to be very different from the interfaces used in similar programs from other Adobe programs before. , so you need a little time to practice and get used to where the sound effects are

It's a great software for basic music production and for beginner level... You can still achieve pro work with adobe audition too.
Low latency in Live mode for podcast and the easy multitrack layout. The tools are just amazingly easy to understand. The mixer section has good send functionality.
Nothing except the display design. I feel more should be done on giving a pleasing design rather look.

My experience with the program initially helped me a lot in making a lot of soundtracks differently for a lot of different projects. There are many tools and effects that I can easily control and influence the audio clip and make it a professional audio clip.
From my point of view, this program is very useful because it has powerful tools that help create your audio clip in a very powerful way. It is capable of cutting and installing audio and removing noise from any audio clip, as well as adding many distinctive effects and manipulating them however you like, which makes the audio clip very professionally for any project Whether it is located in a movie, a game, or anything else.
From my point of view, the program interface seems difficult because it is designed in a confusing way for the user at the beginning of use. Secondly, the program is expensive for some people

It's the audio editor for anyone who works with audio or videos.
It has everything an audio editor needs, from the beginner to the maestro! So many effects to make your sound truly professional. Audio repair tools such as noise reduction are top-notch when compared to other software like Audacity or Ocenaudio. I also like the effect rack! It reduces my work time by about 50%. Finally being able to integrate it with various plug-ins like Fabfilter or Izotope or with video editing apps like Premier Pro, is simply what makes it stand out!
It can be hard to find the effect you're looking for sometimes. Can be quite hard to navigate too.

Es una buena herramienta para editar audios, en lo particular lo usaba para editar audios de cover y grabaciones de guitarra clásica dulce y realizar edición como eliminar el ruido focal, bit de fondo o naturalizar el nivel del volumen.
Es una buena herramienta para editar audios tiene buenas opciones para ingresar los dos canales de audios para un fidelidad mucho mejor y su edición independiente por cada canal, permite proporcional efectos sensibles con mayor detalle. Los paneles de visualización de linea de tiempo son adaptables al usuarios permite una dualidad de audio en mismo compas de tiempo.
Las actualizaciones de formatos varían con su definición y no es un formato estándar como la renderización en formato mp3 propia de adobe audición y el cual no es compatibles en ciertos caso con dispositivos que leen formato mp3.

Adobe Audition is the premiere audio editing software. From expert to the beginner it allows you to use it to do simple editing to complicated multi-layered tracks.
The cost can be a bit high when your first learning but it will pay off as you become more of an expert.

I use Adobe Audition for all of my voiceover and podcast recording, mixing, and editing. It's always been a top-notch professional audio software that delivers the goods every time. It's intuitive interface makes it easy to edit, mix, and create podcasts from start to finish. I would recommend Adobe Audition to anyone who is looking for a great audio software
There are so many good things to say about this software. I have been using Audition for over 3 years and I have noticed that it has really accelerated my overall workflow. I am really pleased with how easy it is to organize my tracks, edit, rearrange, and/or modify them. The ability to work between applications like After Effects and Premiere in real time is also a game changer. Audition is an amazing tool that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who is looking for an audio editing software!
Audition has a lot of features that I like, that the price is worth it for me. But it isn't always easy to find where I need to go. I do lots of voice-over work and want to use Audition quickly and efficiently while doing other things at the same time, but often I get lost as to where I need to go and have to keep using the help features or repeated experiments to get the desired outcome.

If I had one word to describe today's Adobe Audition, it would be "Disappointing." Thanks for stripping it down and increasing my workload and overhead.
The integration of Adobe products has improved workflow. I like moving seamlessly in and out of Premiere Pro.
Adobe's habit of dropping key features like dynamic EQ or pitch correction has left us with a bare bones UI that requires too many expensive plug-ins to make it useful.
