Adobe Audition has become one of my go-to for everything from podcast mastering to sound design. What I like most is how stable and professional it feels. It’s rare to find a DAW that balances depth with clean usability. The spectral frequency display is a lifesaver for cleaning background noise/pops and the built-in noise reduction tools rival standalone plugins that cost extra. The multitrack workflow makes it easy to mix dialogue, music and effects without bogging down my system. Integration with Premiere Pro also makes post-production incredibly smooth when I’m working on video projects.
Audition feels like it was designed for people who take audio seriously but still need to move quickly. I can edit, mix and master all within one environment without bouncing between multiple apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest downside is that it’s only available through a monthly subscription. For freelancers/occasional users who aren’t using it every single week, that can get pricey compared to one-time-purchase alternatives. The plugin management could also use some streamlining (scanning large plugin folders sometimes slows down startup). While Audition’s core tools are fantastic, the stock effects library hasn’t evolved much in recent updates and some newer users might wish for more built-in mastering presets or creative sound packs.
That said, none of these are dealbreakers. Once you’re comfortable inside the workspace, it’s hard to imagine editing audio anywhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
