It's free and is great if you are on a tight budget. It served it's purpose and gave me an opportunity to record music that sounded like great demos.
After 6 hours of editing and episode for my podcast, the files corrupted. I was devastated and so stressed out and frustrated I laid on my floor and cried.
It has a lot of useful fuctions and I love simple process to edit all audios I need. I can also reduce background noises and it's simply perfect for me.
I am finding it difficult to separate vocals, I wonder if the effect really works because my attempts have proved abortive.
I like playing guitars with backing tracks. I love Audacity because it is very easy to use and make my own backing tracks.
It is no Adobe Audition although it's her poor cousin. It will do loads although for major audio editing projects and professional production work you will begin to see where it falls behind.
What I like best about this software is how simple it is to use, even when it is my first time using it. I appreciate the editing capabilities of this software.
It didn't work well on my HP laptop, so I had to put the program on my computer which has faster programming and it seems to fix the issue.
I appreciate its flexibility, advanced functionality, and the ability to work seamlessly with other Adobe products.
I hate the fact that you can't use midi with adobe audition.
I find myself very comfortable with Audition because I can work in high quality and produce very satisfying podcasts, with great approval from my audience.
Quite expensive when compared to its counterparts. Plus the UI is a bit confusing at the beginning.
I recommend it for audio work and to complement those who are working on audiovisual projects and want to improve the sound aspect. White noise removal works quite good.
I think that still miss some tools, some plugins.
It helps me a lot to recover some audios that come with background noises simply fantastic the audio is clean.
While Audition has a lot of advanced functionality, it means that it can be difficult to onboard new users. This is why only a few people on my team use the software.
Harlan: Hi. My name is Harlan, and I'm Director of Operations. I give Audacity five stars. And for more reviews like this, click below. We considered using Sound Forge, which was an open source software. But we liked Audacity better, so we went with Audacity. The reason why we chose Audacity was their tech support was outstanding. They made it very easy to onboard. And, of course, the software is easy to use, a very small learning curve. Basically, it was us downloading the software, contacting tech support to get us all onboarded. The process took probably 20 minutes, and we were up and running and editing audio software, which was great. I highly recommend Audacity for other business users, especially if you're looking to edit presentation software. If you need to insert sounds or clips, it just makes it very easy to do so with Audacity. Highly recommend it.
Speaker 1: My name is Zontrey, and I'm a Technical Director. I would rate Adobe Audition a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. When considering other software options, I consider Pro 2s, Cubase, and a few other softwares that I'm just familiar with in music production, but I couldn't use those in my workflow, because it just slowed things down because I like to work in DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premier, and so that's why I couldn't choose go work with those. Adobe Audition was a no-brainer for me when working with videos, because I could edit my videos in Adobe Premiere and edit in Adobe Audition and everything just automatically sync up. I didn't have to do any extra work. Being able to edit things in terms of compression, reverb, EQing items, all of it just communicated really well back and forth between Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition. Getting started with Adobe Audition was pretty simple, because the technical items, the technical terms and layout, it translates really well if you're familiar with working in any [inaudible 00:01:18] such as Pro 2s or Logic or anything like that. The layout was really... It really translates really well for someone that's familiar with that. For anyone that's considering Adobe Audition, I'll say consider your workflow first, because that's going to help you decide whether it's the best tool for you. And also, it's going to help you decide whether it has everything that you need. If there are plugins that you're familiar with and you want to bring into Adobe Audition, consider those items as well.
