Pros It was packed with lots of powerful features.and the end result of my projects was of a high quality. Cons The learning curve. The user interface and certain features were a bit Confusing to navigate without researching how-to tutorials online.

Pros I love how easy it is to learn to use and its immense collection of tools. In addition, the plethora of plugins available is impressive. Cons It is monthly paid subscription.

Pros Some of this software was intuitive so I could use it for basic editing of an audio file. Cons The subscription never ends! It is almost impossible to stop paying for this service. Do not sign up for this without trialling it to make sure it is the product you want. I have paid $32 a month for a year for this product and it did not meet my needs. Review Source Matej P. Assistant Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential tool for any audio producer" December 28, 2022 5.0 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.

Integration in to the creative suite is perfect Pros Works with the creative suite like a dream. Has all the options needed. Ideal for film makers and animators. Cons Could have better plug ins. Some of the plugins are not easy to use and they seem a little dated, but overall does what it says on the tin. Review Source AD Amy D.

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. Cons what I like least about Adobe Audition is that it is best for editing not composing and there is a lack of music tools. Review Source Lorie F. Instructional Designer Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Adobe Audition Enables Fine-Tuned Audio Editing for All Skill Levels" November 29, 2025 5.0 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. Pros It is fairly easy to get started with for an Adobe product. It has the same familiar interface Adobe interface layout as the other design products, which aids in the learning curve. The interface enables precise audio editing and provides numerous audio effects to enhance the sound quality. It is also easy to use for recording at any quality you need. Cons It is still somewhat complex, so it is difficult to find some of the settings without multiple clicks to get into different layers of settings, even for basic editing.

Pros If you are already a part of the Adobe Creative Group then Audition is a rather inexpensive route to take, cause you are already paying for (check your subscription details to be sure) Cons To pay the stand alone subscription cost you can certainly get more from other options. Review Source SK Stephen K. Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid and Well Integrated" March 27, 2025 4.0 I am a big fan of Audition. If you are already using other Adobe products, it only makes sense to use Audition as well. Pros There are a lot of features packed into a reasonably simple-looking design. I love how everything is laid out and how easily it integrates with other Adobe Products. Cons I would like a simpler way to apply effects to an audio file. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Communications Project Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sounds Great" January 13, 2025 5.0 Very positive experience with Adobe Audition for podcast production and audio cleanup and noise reduction. Pros Adobe Audition is user-friendly and has a full set of tools to make podcast production and audio editing easy. Like all Adobe products, it works flawlessly alongside the rest of the Creative Suite Cons 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. It is worth the cost, however, to have it integrate with other Adobe programs. Review Source AS Andrew S. Manager Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very powerful audio editing software " September 29, 2024 5.0 Pros Very powerful audio editing software that allows you to make your audio clips extremely high quality Cons Huge learning curve to utilize properly but there tutorials to guide you through Review Source CA Conor A. Digital Content Editor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Great Solution for Audio Technicians and Video Editors Alike..." February 22, 2022 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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.

August 6, 2022 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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 me, that I need some time and instructional videos to know more about sound engineering to use the software to its full potential. Conclusion: The software can be a little bit difficult to people who are not familiar with other adobe- software as well as sound engineering details (as it is full of options and menus). Room for improvement: Explain in detail how to use the software to full potential in sound engineering. Review Source cF cRISTINA F.

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.

August 5, 2022 4.0 It's the audio editor for anyone who works with audio or videos. Pros 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! Cons It can be hard to find the effect you're looking for sometimes. Can be quite hard to navigate too. Reason for choosing Adobe Audition It made my work easier and faster. Switched from [Audacity](https://www.capterra.com/p/214605/Audacity/) Adobe Audition was a better option. Review Source Chibuike U.

Also I love the assorted tools in the toolbar for details work on my audio. Cons So far so good. Haven't seen any thing I don't fancy. The new CC audition answered a lot of questions I had. Review Source TR Tony R. Design Specialist Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe Audition passes the Audition!!" June 10, 2021 5.0 Audition solves the problem of "time". Who doesn't want to save time?! Import my files, quickly work out my arrangements, cut and paste at will, add plug-ins seamlessly... what more could you ask for!?!? Pros I love the ability to import audio tracks from my DAW and then mix in Audition. The process is seamless and much easier than staying in my DAW. I also use Audition for theater productions. I load up audio tracks and set queues which I can then access just by pressing a number and hit play. It's a great way to have a complete theatrical soundtrack at your fingertips and then be able to play it live. Cons Literally nothing. There is just nothing to complain about with this software. I've had it forever and I'll use it forever. Make it cheaper? :) Review Source GK Geoff K. Manager Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The solution to audio production stress" April 26, 2022 5.0 Audio production, mainly in advertisment jingles e.t.c Pros The features that I love most in Adobe Audition is the compressor, how it allows you to adjust to your best desire. I should also mention that you can also save presets for your work so that in the next project you find it easy to add your effects just in one click. Cons I haven't seen or met any problem with the software ever since I started using adobe audition and am not quite sure of what has to be added. Review Source Alain Jove R. Freelancer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Ultimate in Audio Manipulation" January 6, 2021 5.0 Overall, this is a great multimedia tool to provide you excellent studio quality sound. And above all, it is worth every dime that you spend to achieve the projects that pros only can. But not anymore, beginners alike can have that same output with a few hours of getting to know this software's full potential. Pros I like Adobe Auditions for its professional looking interface and easy to understand functionalities. I've used a few comparable products already and nothing beats its interface, which even a beginner can digest right away. Although it takes time to 'unlock' the other tricks hidden in this gem of a software, it's always worth the time sitting down and exploring it. This is seamless in handling multiple tracks in one project which makes you very pleased avoiding lag time especially on a little slower computers. It also renders exports faster compared to other software. I was able to test briefly Logic Pro X and Pro Tools but got hooked to this instead. And I'm glad I made the right choice because I'm working a lot of audio editing for my videos and it has proven to be the most intuitive tool for me, which is reinforced by the powerful plugins that this baby can provide. Cons Like most high end software in the multimedia category, this demands high memory and CPU power, to provide you that seamless experience. So far that is the only thing I noticed and haven't encountered any bugs in the software. Reason for choosing Adobe Audition Because of its ease of use and the plugins that I need for my audio projects.

There are many tools and effects that I can easily control and influence the audio clip and make it a professional audio clip. Pros 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. Cons 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 Review Source RD Reema D. Associate Director Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great For Sound Editing and Video Production" November 29, 2022 5.0 Overall, it is great for audio, and I recommend it for those purposes. Pros I really enjoy the easy media library and media combination options the program provides. Adobe is notorious for making simple things overly complex, but specifically uploading, splicing, and editing audio content within this program is pretty easy and straight forward. I have never had any difficulties with it. I also really enjoy the CD layout feature for my personal use, as I am able to create mixed tapes with my content with ease, and I have not found any program who could rival it in terms of reliability and speed. Cons Some of the recording, video editing, and more complex features the program offers are really complicated, and I haven't found a help page or video yet that can walk me through it with ease, as the constant updates also change how you are supposed to accomplish said tasks to the point where I typically use a different program and only use Audition for the audio portion of my needs.

February 17, 2021 5.0 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.
