![]() But you don’t need to because you can do that in separate video editing software (even the best free video editing software will let you do this).Īudition can save many choices as options for future use (Image credit: Adobe) You can only have one video clip per session, so you can’t use it to make a video collage to music for example. The layered menus mostly offer batch process options. If you want to ‘save as’, Audition provides all the file space for notating versions accurately for future reference and easy search options to find them. All multi-track edits and effects are non-destructive.Ĭhanges to Waveform projects are permanent once the project is saved, you do get warned but it’s worth having a strategy. The history window lists everything you’ve done. The default favorites window is already fully loaded with normalization, correction and other enhancements like simple fades but you can fully customize it to suit you. It’s easy to analyze, convert, categorize, label, polish and organize files as you go along. Whatever the problem - simple noises-off to anomalies caused by a destructive editing, over compression, non-compatibility with format or loudness - the detailed controls, spectral views and analyzers help you nurture your project into its broadcast-safe best self. Easy to organize for your workflow only one video clip per sessionĪudition really stands out when you start analyzing and editing.Session templates offer easy access for basic editing (Image credit: Adobe) They’re generally not pastiches as some apps can be, although you can still find an ‘angry gerbil’ effect if you really want one. ![]() There are a huge amount of vocal enhancers and the vocal alteration presets are good. Multitrack view has neat tricks like two fingers sliding up and down the track headers to increase or decrease track height - useful for extended concentrated work and just very cool. Various spectral views are offered for fine editing and analysis. Recording in Audition is very easy, both in waveform and multi-track environments. When apps like Apple GarageBand offer so many amazing loops for free, why would you? This involves hunting so yes you could go to all that trouble. So can you make music with Adobe audition? Well you can, but if you’re thinking that for the money you’ll get a loop rich DAW like Apple Logic Pro to drop vocals onto, think again.Īdobe advertises thousands of SFX and musical loops, and while the effects are extensive, the loops are hard to find as they’re now kept on a different server, which some browsers don’t seem to be able to find. With the simple editor open and the wind in your favor you’ll spy the infinitesimally small record button. Excellent vocal correction tools easy-to-use in multi-track and waveform musicians, check you can find loops before buying.Phase analysis is one of many visual aids for balancing correction and enhancement (Image credit: Adobe) When you’re happy with any combination you can save your custom layout as a preset. All these function windows can either be fully open, or lurking helpfully in resizeable hanging menus that also offer group options. When you’re ready to move on to effects, you can add that window from the windows menu and so on until you’re ready to start exploring the more complex elements of the program. So for example you can close down all the default windows and start with the Media Browser in order to bring in files, and then a Simple Editor window so you can work on them, or record to add another track. Luckily, you can choose windows to simply reflect the current part of your workflow. ![]() If you’re getting the feeling that it could be a bit busy with all those function windows, you’d be right. Customization is all firmly on the side of audio processing functionality, which is great but user accessibility would be improved by a bit more control over the size of buttons, for example. The interface is smartly utilitarian with no frills. Some of the controls are pretty small - another clue it’s best-suited to larger displays. Although Audition is quite easy to find your way around, there’s a lot of it and it will soon be filled with your customized windows. ![]() Pair with a computer or laptop for music production if you can, too.
