Zontrey T
Technical Director
4.0

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.
