Adobe Audition: Best audio editing software overall

Adobe Audition is one of the most user-friendly audio editing software. You can customize the layout to fit your workflow, and the software has all the best tools to edit and complete your audio projects.

Multiple sources can be recorded simultaneously on separate tracks. This simplifies post-production tasks such as editing and effect handling. All this makes it ideal for podcasters, video bloggers and anyone between amateurs and professionals.

Audition's audio restoration tools make it easy to fix damaged or old recordings. This is super simple to use, as you highlight he offending sounds, hit a button and Audition takes care of removing that from the rest of the audio. Audition doesn`t negatively affect the source material when it restores poorly recorded audio either – a big plus.

To use the program, you pay for a monthly, yearly or multi-year subscription. It also comes packaged with Adobe's Creative Cloud subscription, which is a better deal if you plan to also edit photos or videos. Adobe offers discounts to students and educators, as well as businesses that require multiple licenses.
