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 Tyler C. Designer Computer Games Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Audition Addiction " October 31, 2025 5.0 I would use again in the future and stand by the software being top-tier in functionality, albeit with a learning curve. 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 Adobe Audition has a plethora of tools to edit, fix, and adjust audio for high quality audio output. It has lots of features and can do quality audio recording. Cons Audition can do a countless number of things. The interface can be a little overwhelming at first and it can take some searching to find the right tools and buttons.

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 PR Phil R. Content Lead Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for video and animation editors." November 23, 2025 5.0 Use regularly, I’m a premier and after effects user so this is a no brainer. 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.

November 20, 2025 5.0 Pros With no need for customer support, great security, great value for money, great recording, effects, simple user interface and audio editing Adobe Audition is amazing Cons There is no complaints on my end for Adobe Audition, it helps get the job done. Adobe Audition allows me to focus on the task not the technology 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 SB Sujata B. Influencer Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Top Quality Audio Production" October 14, 2024 4.0 It produces one of the best quality audios through mixing and editing capabilities so it has been a great and fun experience to use Adobe Audition. Pros It is one of the most powerful softwares to edit and mix music. We are able to edit multiple tracks easily where the music files are huge and complex. 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 CA Conor A.

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. Audio/video producer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent audio recording and editing workhorse, from beginners to advanced users" December 15, 2022 5.0 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.

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 AS Andrew S.

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.

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
