Our audio work is fluent

Reviewed 3 years ago

At first glance when you start to learn how to use the audio design program and edit the audio itself, it can be scary and overwhelming because there are so many options, but it really helps that there is a complete variety of tools. I could talk about what we love the most that has been improving over time that has been the fluidity to generate our improved audios, on the work screen where we can control through paused or zooms through the computer keys, we have great expectations for the future.

Pros

I love from the start that there is a great optional deck of effects through which you can go through to choose the correct and most appropriate for the project Regarding the work racks, I can say that although they are accepted to work a great variety of formats, some are still not compatible.

Cons

In previous versions I thought I saw that the endless pop-ups had been corrected when an error was generated in the system, endless warnings for each error that I still see exist in recent versions of the program.

Long Time Adobe User

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, my experience with Adobe Audition has been very pleasant, and I will continue to use this software going forward. I believe it helps with the quality, and quantity of the amount of projects I produce weekly.

Pros

I am a long-time Adobe user. However, I am new to using Adobe Audition. In the market for VoiceOver software, I was looking for software that mainly focuses on audio recording, editing, and mastering. I discovered Adobe Audition. I use this software frequently in my business. I have used Adobe Audition for VoiceOver narration, audiobooks, commercials, and podcasts. I am a huge fan of Adobe's product ecosystem, and how well they work together.

Cons

Converting files over from the previous software to Adobe Addition was a little bit of a challenge. However, the learning curve was not too difficult to overcome.

Adobe Audition is Great for Audio Recording

Reviewed 3 years ago

It plays a major role in my earning. I live for doing voice-overs and Adobe Audition has been a great help. I'm a radio jockey and I often need to record my voice and send it to the production team. I have set up Adobe Audition with my Yeti microphone and I can easily record anytime. There are only a couple of times that I faced trouble but mostly it was my own fault...not a very tech-savvy person. lol.

Pros

It helps me record professional voiceovers for Tv and radio. I have done a lot of audio work in Audition. Be it a Vo for ads, documentaries, or other promotional campaigns, Adobe Audition provides excellent support. You can record the audio, do noise reduction and sometimes you also need to manipulate your voice for a given situation. I like the telephone effect on my voice that I have used many times. Other than that, I also use other effects to make my voice bassy and sound cooler.

Cons

The audio hardware controls are complicated. I had a hard time figuring out the line-in and setting up my microphone. There should be some automatic way to connect external devices to Adobe Audition.

Powerful Audio Editing for Pros!!

Reviewed 4 years ago

Audition is powerful, versatile, and delivers professional grade quality. It has a variety of features that are native to the program, but also has a vast array of plugins available that only enhance the process. Plus, the ability to dynamically link edited audio assets directly into our video timelines in Premiere is invaluable to our workflow. Pair this with Adobe's world-class customer support, and this program is our company's no-brainer, go-to choice for Audio Editing software. Highly recommend!!

Pros

Audition is powerful, versatile, and delivers professional grade quality. It has a variety of features that are native to the program, but also has a vast array of plugins available that only enhance the process. Plus, the ability to dynamically link edited audio assets directly into our video timelines in Premiere is invaluable to our workflow.

Cons

The only downside to Audition is the learning curve for interacting with its many many tools. However, if one is at least vaguely familiar with the Adobe family, this will lessen the learning curve some since it is a member of the Adobe Creative Suite Family.

I WILL NOT work with a different program.

Reviewed 6 months ago

I adore Adobe Audition. Have been using it for over ten years and haven't worked with a better system. If Adobe Audition ever becomes obsolete, the fun of my job will cease to exist.

Pros

I've created so many great masterpieces over the years and love the ease of use. It's easy to understand how it all works, resulting in less valuable time wasted.

Cons

Occasionally it will crash, but when it comes back, it will ask if you want to continue or delete what you were doing.

Essential tool for any audio producer

Reviewed 2 years ago

I am switching between various Adobe products (Photoshop, Premiere, Adobe), so the overall experience is very consistent. You know one, you know them all. That's a huge advantage!

Pros

Easy to learn, intuitive, and works well with other Adobe products (Adobe Premiere). Once you learn one tool, you will be fine with the other.

Cons

Sometimes I have difficulties finding the tools I need. Luckily, most solutions are on Youtube.

Best Audio Manipilator

Reviewed 3 years ago

I use Audition to edit audios I use in my project works, both for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. It works quite easy for me since I just click from inside any of the other adobe software to edit the audio in Audition, and once I save the changes in Audition, it reflects in the original location. I also use it to do some audio mix and add effects to the audio. More like an extended and more professional version of the audio editing panel inside Adobe Premiere Pro. Any sort of audio manipulation I intend to do, Adobe Audition is the perfect solution

Pros

As an Adobe fan, I love the fact that it integrates well with other Adobe software I use. The interface is beautiful, all effects are well segmented for easy navigation. The flexibility it gives is quite adorable, it means it's useful for both novices and professionals alike.

Cons

The major problem we have with Adobe is the expensiveness of its products. It would also seem a little too technical for newbies to the software, but like every other Adobe software, practice and more practice helps to get used to it.

Must have audio mixing software

Reviewed 2 years ago

Adobe Audition is a genuinely useful asset that outperforms elective free choices for sound altering/improving, and offers a hearty arrangement of instruments for speedy cutting and trading. I use Tryout while I'm working with sound documents, which is very successive.

Pros

Audition offers various ways of editing segments of sound inside a frequency. On the off chance that a module isn't finishing the work, there are numerous ways of working in the product to kill pops and other undesirable relics in your sound record.

Cons

Audition has a ton of elements, however to me, it seems like Adobe ignores it as a general rule. Where I see bunches of new, and in some cases staggering, increments to other Adobe items, Tryout feels a piece dated in numerous ways.

Excellent audio recording and editing workhorse, from beginners to advanced users

Reviewed 2 years ago

I record the voice overs for my audio projects (audio books, narration, commercials etc) and easily mix them with music and sound effects. The plugins integration helps me finish all the editing work in one interface , rather than using multiple ones.

Pros

1. The punch in recording feature ( a huge time saver). 2. Seamless integration with Izotope RX plugins. 3. A very handy and huge time saving feature to clean/lower all breaths in one audio file with the push of a button. Careful not to overdo it, experiement and check your file, to make sure you do not lose audio data.

Cons

I am not fond of the monthly subscription. I prefer to have a lifetime license (like before). In terms of interface, in the beginning Audition looks quite intimidating; there are many little options and bits and pieces everywhere to discover and understand. But, with patience you can figure them out in a few projects.The more you practice, the better you get.

Great for podcast and content editing

Reviewed 3 years ago

My experience has been really good -- I highly recommend this if you already have and use other programs in the Adobe Creative Sweet

Pros

I love the functionality of Audition -- it has all the bells and whistles you could want from editing podcast and content all the way up to mixing and mastering music.

Cons

It can be a little clunky at times -- the UX/UI of it could be improved a little bit to make it easier to learn.

Adobe Audition Is Audio Lifesaver

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overwall I have LOVED Adobe Audition. I use it to sweeten/enhance my audio on nearly every project that I have. Perfect for removing annoying background noise and not to difficult for new users to understand.

Pros

Adobe Audition is a MUST have for anyone doing Audio Video editing. While you can use Adobe Audition with many various editing software, Audition works best when used with other Adobe programs. With Adobe Creative Cloud Audition easily transfers and connects with Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro...etc to allow you to keep your work flow while also making changes to your audio. The straight forward set up is easy to learn and perfect for beginners and expierenced audio users.

Cons

The only downside that I have expierenced in my workflow is that sometimes in order to utilize other plugins or advance systems, you may have to do extra steps to keep in line with te Adobe workflow.

A light digital audio workstation - good for simple projects and lots of free sound effects.

Reviewed 3 years ago

Adobe Audition is fine for simpler use cases - for adding sound effects to podcasts and vlogs or simple videos, it's a perfectly good choice. And it's huge library of sounds is very much appreciated. However, for any in depth audio creation or sound composition, it is easily outclassed by most other audio workstations, including Logic Pro, FL and Cubase.

Pros

What I like most about Adobe Audition is its genuinely vast library of royalty-free sound effects, which can be easily acquired and dragged/dropped into an audio project. What also helps is that all of these sound effects that are freely available to use are high quality - something very rarely found in such a simple manner. Often free sound effects vary greatly in quality, so it is great to have so many good quality samples ready to go.

Cons

There are a couple of issues with Adobe Audition. Firstly, because of the sheer amount of good quality useable samples, it can actually be a problem taking the time to sift through them and find which one is most appropriate - merely a problem of having too many options, which isn't a bad problem to have, but it can slow down the process. Secondly, Audition is fairly restricted in its usability. For simpler audio projects (such as adding in a few sound effects to a pre-recorded track - perhaps a podcast or vlog) it is perfectly acceptable, but for any kind of composition or detailed audio creation, it appears to be lacking in features that other audio workstations have as standard. Logic Pro would be a superior choice, but it comes with a bigger price tag.
