"If you need a program for creating or editing your audio medium files, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

For me personally, Adobe Audition is the Gold Standard. From editting to creating, Pitch bending to creaqting sounds you may not get through other means. this is the program you want. I really would hope that after researching all you can do with this program you would not look anywhere else for a user friendly editior. . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

The fact is that Adobe is the Gold Standard and can therefore Charge because it is a Good Program and Adobe Knows it. However, there are ways to get Audition as part of a "Creative Suite" for pennies on the dollar. Yes, the regular price is sucky, but if you can get it...It is worth it.

""Logic"al upgrade in Adobe Audition"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Adobe Audition is tightly integrated into the Creative Cloud workflow, and helps me to quickly record audio voiceover pieces and import them into my Premiere projects. Not only that, but the tools within Adobe Audition have expanded to the point that I hardly use any of my old audio editing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

As with all Adobe products, it would be nice to have similar key commands, but some things are legacy from other pieces of software, and Audition starting in Logic is no exception. Great tool otherwise, and this is an extremely small complaint from someone who works multiple platforms with the software, Mac, PC, laptop and desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Surprisingly intuitive and easy to use"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

The learning curve on Audition was remarkably short. I hadn't used a DAW in several years, so I was uncertain as to what to expect, but Audition was shockingly easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

My biggest complaint with Audition is that if you don't have your shortcut keys configured, it is easy to accidentally lose a window or menu if you are clicking through things too fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Giving wings to audios."
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Excellent program for audio editing, very versatile and full of possibilities. When associated with other adobe programs we have a great immersion in audio visual. I use it a lot to improve my audios on videos that I need to edit. With its integrations we can easily add other elements to audios taken directly from premiere or after effects. I think the communication between applications and the practicality of communication between program is fantastic As interfaces are similar and from the same creator, it is easy to work in parallel with these integrations. I think this program for editing audios is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

It's not Adobe's most complex program, but that doesn't leave the possibilities and versatility behind. I find it very easy to import audio from other programs and then import again. Perhaps the only problem with this program is the same as with all the others in adobe. Due to the complexity and possibility, firstly, it is not a very user-friendly program. Still, because it is widely used, we have access to a lot of good material that brings all the necessary knowledge to develop great work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent program for professional audio editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I can work in the cloud in the Adobe environment. I love it because it's so easy to use. Importing mp3 and other formats is really easy. The compression of the final product is good. Compatibility with other programs is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

It has limitations for professional audio editing. Podcast editing is a very good option, but I would like to see improvements in the interface and multitrack editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fairly intuitive, but beware the glitches"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

The learning curve for Adobe Audition is pretty flat, actually. After just a little while playing around, I was able to get into a groove and edit my podcast effectively and easily. I love the pre-set templates for podcasts and other projects. I'm still learning a bit about some of the finer points, but this is a great product. Recently I figured out how to utilize a file storage system so that we could have multiple editors work on a single project, so that's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

I wish you could input an audio file an have the different tracks/layers separate to edit them individually. Kinda like how the layers separate in Photoshop or Illustrator. Especially if the file was created in Audition itself. Also, and this is a big one: Audition will frequently kick audio tracks "offline" on save. I've been burned a couple of times after saving then exporting a project, only to listen to the file after and find huge gaps where Audition had failed to carry the tracks over. Beware when you save that you have all your files and tracks in the mixdown. If they're offline, often you can just quit Audition and then open it back up, and they'll be there.

"Excellent for professional audio editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

The interface is very organized, well, not easy to understand at first, but once you get used to it, you'll find it rather perfect and remarkably adaptive.

I like that I can work with multiple tracks and edit them right away within one project.

It is compelling software, yet very light, and can work even on slower computers, and the rendering time is slightly faster than other software in the same category.

Adobe Audition has lots of powerful plugins that are very easy to use.

The best thing about Audition is that Adobe integrates Audition with other programs like Premiere, which enables you to edit audio from Premiere on Audition directly, then send it back to premiere without wasting time.

The overall quality Audition is capable of producing is Amazing and very professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

There isn't much I dislike about Adobe Audition, except that it is a bit overwhelming for new users and typical usages, which makes it an application for professionals only.

The price is a little high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong Pro Tool, Weak User Tool"
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

High performance in professional options for editing, enhancing and restoring audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

There are lots of unnecessary settings. It is also not at all user-friendly or for the average audio editor. Thus it is something that I think is best kept at a premium for audio pros only, but will never be widely used as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great & easy audio editing interface that's more amateur than protools but is all that I need."
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

Adobe users will find the interface easy to pick up and comprehensive against other adobe products. I use premiere & after effects and can seamlessly work between all three. I also know Avid Protools and given that my audio tasks are not incredibly complicated, Audition is all that I need and helps me not have to go through Avid's pay model to access great audio tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

I wish there was a way to not have to edit destructively on tracks or be able to go back to prior versions after those effects have been added. Sometimes the program crashes out of nowhere with work lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool to edit audio."
What do you like best about Adobe Audition?

I really like peerless restoration and repair capability. It made the complex processes look very easy. I did not face any trouble while starting with the tool & the best part about is the dynamic link function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Audition?

There is nothing to dislike according to me except one thing. It doesn't support MIDI which causes issues many times. It is very heavy and the subscription is also costly. For a student, it's too much because I started using it when I was a student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
