![]() As you'd expect, the interface is fully drag-and-drop compatible, and you can cut or trim clips for seamless nondestructive edits. Here you drop clips of audio on different tracks, such as a voiceover on top of music stems or ambient sounds, or mix together recorded interview segments to create a podcast. The Multitrack view is where Audition takes on the look of a normal digital audio workstation. You can now punch a recording from a specific point within a clip and quickly zoom in to the same range on multiple selected clips. In the Waveform view, recording audio and adjusting its volume is simple, and an attractive spectral frequency editor lets you attack the recorded wave in different ways. ![]() For CC 2019 Adobe has added some spit and polish to the UI, with brighter waveform displays, improved colors, and clearer outlines around various on-screen elements. It's simple to flip between these two whenever you want. Audio Editing, Restoration, and ExportĪudition offers two main modes: the Waveform view, for stereo editing, and the Multitrack view, for mixing together tracks on a timeline. By default, Audition CC collects usage data, and to stop it you have to manually opt out once the program is installed. You do need to run the Creative Cloud desktop app in the background, which you install as part of the setup process. There's no hardware copy protection dongle required with Audition, as there is with Pro Tools. I ran into no bugs throughout the review period, which is nice to see (although increasingly common, even with Audition's complex competitors). For this review, I tested Audition CC 2019 on an Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (2017) with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD running macOS Mojave 10.14.6, with a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 USB interface attached. To install Audition, you need a PC running Windows 10 64-bit or a Mac running macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or newer. Still, to put all of this in perspective, three years of working with Audition will cost you at least $755, and possibly more if you choose a different plan or go month-to-month. Audition's best value proposition is if you're already working in Adobe Premiere and pay for a full CC subscription anyway, in which case Audition is already part of the package. But if you tend to upgrade your audio workstation often, paying hundreds of dollars up front and then $99 or $149 every couple of years to get new versions, Audition makes more sense. If you're the type of audio engineer who buys a program once and uses it professionally until it's no longer supported, years down the line, Audition will prove a much more expensive proposition than Logic Pro X (a flat $199.99 forever, with free upgrades). Whether any of these plans make sense to you depends on your needs. When you stop paying, Audition stops working and you keep nothing. It's also available as part of a package with all of Adobe's professional products, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and more, for $52.99 per month as part of an annual plan or $79.49 month to month, although students and teachers can get it for as little as $19.99 a month. Audition by itself costs a rather high $20.99 per month on an annual plan, or $31.49 on a month-to-month plan. ![]() ![]()
