Adobe Audition

Software Overview

Adobe Audition is a digital audio workstation (DAW) designed for professional audio editing. It can create, mix, design, and restore audio with an advanced toolset. Syntrillium initially released the application as Cool Edit, but Adobe later purchased the software and renamed it Audition.

You can use Audition to record separate audio tracks and combine them into a complete musical composition. The program features non-destructive multitrack editing and offers a waveform view for destructive editing. You can also tweak the separate audio tracks with tools like pitch correction and bending.

Besides music composition, you can use Audition to edit audio for media productions, such as podcasts and videos. Audition's integration with Premiere Pro allows you to quickly remove unwanted background noise with the Sound Removal tool and then jump right back into Premiere Pro to continue video editing. You can even open Premiere Pro projects directly from Audition's media browser and select specific sequences to modify.

Summary

Audition is a great sound editor and a full-fledged digital audio workstation that professionals and hobbyists find helpful. The DAW comes with various advanced tools and integrates well with other Adobe products. As a result, Adobe Audition is an excellent choice for audio editing, especially if you are already a Creative Cloud (CC) subscriber.
