May 29, 2026 4.0 Very intuitive to use, excellent to apply effects to tracks and use AI to extend tracks to make seamless adjustments to audio. Pros Multi layered and sophisticated audio editing software, very helpful for video production, given its an Adobe product, the UI is very familiar coming from their other products. Cons Just still not a fan of their licensing set up, I'd rather pay once for software and have updates up to a certain point. Plus the software crashing quite frequently. Alternatives considered [Logic Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/214597/Logic-Pro/) Reason for choosing Adobe Audition I was working with the Adobe Suite at the time, switching to Logic didn't make sense.

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. Id rather purchase a license for a higher/ one time cost instead. However, the monthly charge is affordable. Switched from [Audacity](https://www.capterra.com/p/214605/Audacity/) I needed a reliable, high quality daw that allowed me to easily make edits. Review Source BW Bianca W. Educator Farming Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Subscription never ends" November 4, 2024 2.0 Do not recommend using this product or having a membership with Adobe. 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 AO Anne O.

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.

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.

I’m an Adobe creative cloud subscriber because of some design softwares I originally needed. When I discovered audition it quickly became a powerful tool in my video editing process. Pros I like the audio restoration in adobe audition. I use the denoise process and declicker. Both have cleaned up the audio in many of my narrative recordings. Cons Some of the effects are “destructive” meaning I can’t toggle them in and off or go back without effecting other changes I’ve made. Review Source Lorie F.

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.

Integration with other adobe products makes it one of the best out there and the audio edited and produced from it are top notch. Cons It can be a little difficult for first time users and is on a little expensive side due to the fact that it needs Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Review Source Graphicville V.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "How powerful is Adobe Audition for audio editing?" June 23, 2022 5.0 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 Pros 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 need to go from one program to another. I liked the clip selection feature, which makes it easy to display the correct frame to the user in order to make accurate audio edits. I loved the library of audio and effects that Adobe Audition has such as removing noise and background noise, adding echo and FFT filters to enhance and increase audio quality, waveform editing, waveform processing and much more. A very powerful feature is to apply each feature individually, so that if you want to delete or modify a feature you have applied before, you do not need to re-work again, but there is a box for the effects and filters you used that you can control. Cons 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 Review Source TR Tony R.

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. Review Source Kasun M. Civil Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best audio editing software" August 25, 2023 5.0 When it comes to the overall picture this is a nice and powerful audio editing software which is easy to use and worth. Pros Adobe audition is a nice software for audio editing and mixing works from basic to advanced range. It provides single channel editor for specific editing of the tracks and also the multitrack session for audio combining and mixing. Cons Vocal removal facility is not so powerful in adobe audition. It would be better if they can develop it to an advanced level. Review Source Randy F. Manager Computer Hardware Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " excellent audio editor" November 12, 2023 5.0 Pros offers a powerful digital audio workstation experience with a combination of non-destructive mixing and destructive waveform editing capabilities Cons lack of MIDI support, limiting its capabilities for users who require MIDI functionality in their audio editing workflow Review Source Jason F. Producer/Host Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for podcasters" May 14, 2021 4.0 I've used Audition for the past 5 years to record and produce my podcast, Feasting on Design. During that time, the ability to record, edit, and master audio files have come a long way. By no means am I an expert in every facet of Audition, but I've been able to master the basics of what I need to do to produce the podcast. Pros The ability to record, edit, correct sound, and gain issues has made my life as a podcaster so much easier. I'm able to produce my podcast and master it using a single platform. The audio editing tools alone are worth the price, but when you add in noise reduction, and several other features you have a powerhouse of a program that is capable of so much more than I could ever dream of. Cons There can be a steep learning curve if you aren't familiar with non-linear editing. Learning to utilize the tools that I needed required a bit of research. It would be nice if Adobe set up a tutorial library geared toward different users from hobbyists to pro-level users.

Entrepreneur Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Long Time Adobe User" February 24, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source GG Garry G.

Audition has facilitated the clean up of a thousand thousand tracks. Be it removing amp noise from a headbangers Marshall stack to tightening up the timing of a snare - it works Pros The ease of use is the main draw. It simply works how you expect it to work. Cons Earlier versions of Audition integrated directly with my DAW. For reasons unknown to me that stopped at about the time of version 3 being released. To be fair, the DAW mfg may be the problem here. Reason for choosing Adobe Audition I was familiar with Cool Edit so Audition was the incumbant Review Source Similar Products Featured
