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. The application was originally released by Syntrillium as Cool Edit but was later purchased by Adobe and renamed Audition.

You can use Audition to record separate audio tracks and combine them into a full musical composition. The program features non-destructive multitrack editing but also has a waveform editing view for destructive editing. The separate audio tracks can also be tweaked using tools like pitch correction and pitch bending.

Besides music composition, Audition is also commonly used for editing audio for video 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 both professionals and hobbyists will find useful. The DAW comes with various advanced tools and integrates well with other Adobe products. Adobe Audition is a great choice for audio editing, especially if you are already a Creative Cloud (CC) subscriber.
