    Adobe Audition
    Considered Both Products
    Adobe
    Chose Adobe Audition
    Ableton is the only similar program I know. It's easier to use at times, but it would cost extra. Adobe Audition comes with Adobe Creative Cloud, and I regularly use Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Lightroom, so staying in the Adobe family makes sense cost-wise for me. I don't …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audition does a much better job of editing Audio rather than Premiere, as well as its interface for editing podcasts.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    For more than ten years, We used Apple's Garage Band audio editing software to produce all of our podcast episodes. This was an easy, intuitive platform for quickly compiling and editing our episodes. Garage Band, however, lacks much of the functionality and features for fine …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audacity made recording directly into the app a bit easier, but once I had the wav files Adobe Audition makes editing easier.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audacity is a great free product with an easy interface. The free version is not as robust as some of the features in Audition, but we do not have an enterprise license for the full version. In all truth, Audition works best for us because everyone in the enterprise uses it, …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audition matches up with the highest quality products on the market. It is better than most with a good price point. Simple to incorporate plug-ins.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    We use Audition because we have the license, but for our workflow, Audacity can do everything we need. The only issue we have with Audacity that Audition doesn't have is that when we try to match different audio levels between files, Audacity sometimes "forgets" what we want it …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Although I don't use it NEARLY to it's full capacity, Audition is the clear winner in post-production editing software. Audacity would likely come the closest, but its free. So remember... you get what you pay for. When I export a final track from Protools, I immediately …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Working in remote areas where there is no internet connection makes the new Adobe Audition as useful as boobs on a bull. The same does not go for the Audacity and the rest of their other programs, so the integration of earlier releases was awesome ... this new business model is …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audacity is a free and open-source alternative to Adobe Audition. We have used both softwares and can tell you that Audacity has some good features but not even close to Adobe Audition. However, Audacity is completely free and Adobe Audition is really expensive, which kind of …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audition works great for recording and doing moderate audio production work as for a podcast or an advertisement. I use it whenever I need to set up a quick recording session and throw a few basic effects, or do some rudimentary audio editing and splicing for a small task like …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audacity is free, but with fewer features. So it depends what you're trying to do. If you want simple audio editing, don't need to do a lot, and are freelancing, then Audacity is probably better suited for you. If you're a business and need to do a lot of audio editing, then …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    There are many different options available for audio editing tools in a variety of costs, from free (Audacity and GarageBand) to paid (Logic Pro X). Adobe Audition offers significantly more tools and effects processing than the free options and a better, cross platform, …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audacity is a simple editor that most people will only ever need, especially if you are on a budget. But for more advanced control of your audio, Adobe Audition is a better choice. The reason I have said that I've used Adobe Audition for over 20 years (it hasn't been out …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audition's interface is much better than other, free/shareware programs. The ease of use with interfaces and USB mics makes production a breeze. I began using Audition simply because it's included in the Creative Cloud suite, but have continued because of its reliability ad …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Editing software is more similar than different; I looked into GarageBand, but didn't find it to be as suited to my use case as Audition.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Adobe Audition was designed as a professional tool and has maintained that caliber of professionalism ever since. Other audio tools try to emulate Audition but never reach the standard set by Adobe. While all the audio tools on the market can be regarded as a competition, we …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    It has been a few years since I used it, but Audacity is limited in scope compared to Audition, and doesn't integrate seamlessly with Premier. Audition's filtering tools are superior, and allow for cleaner audio with less hands on work. Audition is also platform independent, …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    I mentioned elsewhere, but Audition is a great middle-of-the-road software. I recommend it over free options, but it's a BIG step up if you want to use Pro Tools or other similar software.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Again, while I use FCPX for all my video editing (and much of my audio editing), Audition provides a much richer feature set. I know that I've only dipped my big toe into the Audition waters and could learn a lot more if I spent the time in it but my work doesn't currently …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audacity is a great tool for beginners. It's free and provides a lot of user-created options and templates to choose from that help produce consistently quality audio. Adobe Audition is for those who are looking for more control in how they can produce audio. Adobe Audition …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    When putting features side by side and cost, Adobe Audition is by far one of the most complete solutions in the market for audio authoring - at least in the consumer market, not referring to full studio professional solutions.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Adobe Audition definitely holds its own against Logic Pro. They are fairly similar in usability, support, tools, etc. My choice on either would largely depend on the video editing software I'm using. If I were using Final Cut Pro X I would most likely utilize Logic Pro. It's …

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Adobe Audition is jam-packed with features that allow you to do almost anything with audio files. The interface is a little daunting but it is very easy to learn. The software compared to Audacity is very far along as far as technology for sound editing goes.

    Chose Adobe Audition
    Audition is definitely the way to go for your audio needs versus Adobe Premiere Pro. But, you can actually open the audio you're working on in Premiere Pro in Adobe Audition and edit it directly without needing to save the audio separately and importing it. You can make live …
