What is Adobe Audition?
Adobe Audition is a powerful audio editing software used for commercial videos, corporate videos, and podcasts. It excels in post-production tasks like creating sound effects for video games, adjusting audio clips, and controlling music levels for voiceovers. However, it lacks music composition tools and is considered expensive.
The software is available via 
Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and features two modes: Waveform view for stereo editing and Multitrack view for mixing tracks. The Waveform view offers features like specific point recording and swift zooming, while the Multitrack view allows for layering and mixing of audio clips.
New version introduces Clip and Session Markers for better clip positioning and synchronizing. It also offers custom speed selection and can handle up to 128 tracks or record 32 tracks simultaneously without lag. It includes thousands of royalty-free loops and over 10,000 sound effects.
The software's music Remix tool automatically cuts new song versions, adjusting song segments and transitions seamlessly. It also allows customization of splices and can be set to favor rhythm elements or the harmonic structure.
Comments and Reviews
Thus far, I haven't found anything with as much power for what it is: an audio editor.
It's not a DAW, it's an audio editor.
The effect rack, the built-in effects, the UI, etc. Everything is pleasant to use.
I wish there were alternatives that were as high quality.
Adobe shot themselves in the foot.
Adobe shot themselves in the foot after moving to a subscription based software. The latest Creative Cloud license forces users to upgrade to the current version or risk being sued for infringement. Seriously??? In addition, they removed all trial versions before CC 2019. Older hardware is being phased out forcing clients to purchase the latest Windows 10 based PC. That is the DUMBEST freaking thing I have heard in my life.
BOYCOTT ADOBE.
Well you can speak for yourself as I've been using Audition within my workflow for music creation from back when it was Cool Edit Pro. In fact, when CEP was out, everyone I knew was working with it in some fashion.
I agree it's not a DAW and couldn't really be used as one for serious musicians, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place. I use Logic Pro X, occasionally Ableton and mostly work with MPC software before mixing in those DAWs, but when I need to edit vocal files, the Wave editing capability (or maybe my familiarity too) is superior to anything else I've used.
I wish people would stop insisting on pigeonholing everything. It's for video sound editing, no it's for podcasting, no it's for audio cleanup, no its for musicians/artists. It can be something for all those people without being the central tool for any of them, and still have vale,
There. Go CEP! I mean Audition!
This alternate recommendation is a blemish on this sites credibility to recommend genuine alternatives to software titles: which is its primary function. The alternates listed here are absurd and are factually and inherently incorrect. Grossly incorrect to say the least. Not a single alternate is a genuine alternate. Adobe Audition is not a music production Daw. It is specifically designed for film audio post. The only alternatives to Adobe Audition are Nuendo and Fairlight. That's it and that's that! Reason, Pro Tools, Audacity? Please. What a joke!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ProTools is the most prominent app in the film industry for post!
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.
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.
I clicked on 'post a comment' thinking it would be in reply here but it ended up in the reviews section, which will no doubt confuse people
Easy to use, neat and clean interface, with a huge community to help you get started up to the very end. Be it cutting a part of a track or removing noise, Auditions is the most convenient application.

Working in remote areas where there is no internet connection makes the new Adobe Suite on the CC as useful as tits on a bull. The same goes for the rest of their suite so whilst the integration of earlier editions was awesome.. this new business model is a deal breaker for me.
I will be looking at alternative software to see what will best fill in the gaps in my workflow. The Avid product line seems ok but I'm not convinced that it is the direction I wish to go.
