- Calling Audacity a good alternative to Audition is like calling Windows Sound Recorder a good alternative to Audacity. It lacks the majority of the editing features found in Audition. Guest • Oct 2018 • 14 agrees and 2 disagrees
- If you think that a rock on a stick is a "good alternative" to a fully stocked workshop, then yes, Audacity is a "good alternative" to Adobe Audition. Guest • Dec 2018 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees
- I've worked in Cool Edit Pro, which is the ancestor of Audition, before Adobe bought it. Saying that Audacity is a good alternative to Audition is a joke. It lacks, among other things, audio envelope editing. tr00per • Apr 2018 • 16 agrees and 14 disagrees

Adobe Audition Comments

about Adobe Audition · Dec 2017 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

It doesn't have either MIDI or ReWire support so it's mostly useless for musicians. You could almost say it's a prettier version of Audacity but it's wave editing capabilities are much more superior.

surroundrive · Sep 2018

Thank you! My point exactly on another post. Who are the idiots running this site that approve these completely unrelated alternatives? Audition is not a music production or scoring Daw. This solution is absolutely useless for musicians because it wasn't made to produce music. The only alternatives to Audition are Nuendo and Fairlight. This is a film audio post Daw specifically made to work with film audio. This is what happens when you give idiots a bit of power and a voice.
