- New viewers and long-term viewers alike, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of Adobe Audition. Or are we? In this video, I question whether Adobe Audition is becoming redundant as Adobe Premiere Pro continues integrating advanced audio features.
🪄 Download my Premiere Pro Custom Audio Workspace Template 🎧
mrc.fm/ppaudio
I demonstrate how you can set up Premiere Pro as a comprehensive audio workstation, complete with multitrack editing, applying audio effects, and mixing capabilities. I'll walk through customizing the workspace for audio-focused editing, showing off features like precise audio sample editing, crossfading clips, and organizing tracks.
Then I put Premiere Pro's audio tools to the test by creating a full jingle from scratch, incorporating voiceovers, sound effects, and processing it all with EQ, compression, filters and more. You'll see the audio effect racks look incredibly similar to Audition.
Throughout, I highlight how Premiere Pro may be capable of replacing Audition as your main audio editing application for many types of projects.
I'll ask you directly - is Adobe Audition on its way out the door? Let me know your thoughts on Adobe seemingly making their video editor the top audio editor as well.

📌 What are your thoughts? Is Adobe Audition on its way out now that Premiere Pro has integrated such powerful audio editing capabilities? Here's the link to download the audio workspace I used in this video: mrc.fm/ppaudio
Adobe audition is the best for me
I have run an Adobe Audition Facebook group for about 15 years. This question has been posted there a time or two. We do have Adobe reps in the group, but none have spoken up about this. I also reached out to a couple of them via email. Crickets. My question is- if they are abandoning Audition, and many of us simply want to keep using it, will they allow us to simply buy it and drop the senseless monthy/annual subscription fees?
It's understandable to have concerns about the subscription. I don’t know what the future will hold but I do see all the recent audio features going into Premiere Pro 🤔
I've been using the unsupported Fireworks CC version for 2 years now. It still works but it's a pain to reinstall it when I switch laptops. Adobe has yet to "officially" remove Fireworks from their CC app store but you have to dig for it. After seeing this? I have a strong suspicion Audition will join Fireworks this year OR Adobe will roll out an "Audition" version of Premiere for audio folks. It will be all the defaults set to edit audio, be branded as Audition, but under the hood... it will be Premiere. 🤠☕
Yeah, I'm gonna say no. Allow me to introduce to Adobe.
I think audition will still be a gateway tool for people who are familiar with pro tools… But are curious about the adobe suite. Audition gives sound people familiar tools in an environment they could be comfortable with… But then temp them with the power of Premier
Such a nice thing to bring up! Can I chime in too just to say I support this? Please add my vote to the idea of a standalone "The Last Adobe Audition version before it got integrated to Premiere"--- It's like the last CS6 versions. I will definitely buy that in a heartbeat. I hope you help us @MikeRussel to pass the feelers/interest to Adobe.
Thanks for checking it out for us, Mike. I got mixed opinions on this one. Wouldn't it make it heavy on system resources coz not every PC that runs Audition is a video editing rig. But if this worked, it would also open up Premiere to more plugins not previously seen in other video editors. Now, I'm still wishing for MIDI capability.
Hey there! Glad you found the video helpful! It's true that many audio folks just have no need to run video software.
Hey Mike, this is a great video. I shared it in my group chat of friends who also are pursuing voice acting. It’s really interesting seeing how premier pro is seemingly becoming the go-to now for audio editing. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos, I really enjoy them and it has helped me become a better voice actor overall
Thank you so much for sharing the video with your voice acting group! Adobe Audition still has a strong presence in professional audio editing and voice over but it's great to see Premiere Pro gaining traction for audio work as well. I'm glad my videos have been helpful!
If I was going to use a video editing program as a DAW it would be DaVinci Resolve. The Fairlight page walks all over this.
Fairlight is not too bad but you need to learn a whole load of new shortcuts. Premiere (roughly) follows Audition logic but let’s see how everything plays out.
My complete switch from Adobe->DaVinci is at 70%. So much stuff like Element 3D is based on After Effects, am i right? I would like to make the complete transformation. maybe this are the next 5%. I liked the MRC file i bought 4 Audition. Good Work @mikerussell btw. So, is it now gone forever?
Definitely going in this direction for DAWs. Although I'd like PP to move seamlessly between workstation settings from video to audio to video editing in one and multiple sequence. I haven't looked at the beta as yet. I hope they've looked at the repeated requests to enable adjustment layers on a single channel, instead of work around or nesting. Always preferred Adobe software apps, but I can see a time coming where a cloud service that can do it all and for less $ will take the lead... It'll come down to price and functionality. I can see Adobe adapting but it's often the smart startup that's steels the lead over the cumbersome juggernaut - unless they get bought by the juggernaut of course. Great video as ever.
Thank you for your insightful comment!
Thank you very much!
feeling very grateful to you for sharing your expertise bro, thank you. also I'm curious- I took a course that offered a lot of audio editing teaching last summer and am brand new to all of this otherwise, audition is what we focussed on with just a nod really to premiere. I suppose it will be easy to download the workspace you set up but I was wondering would audition be more noob friendly? tyia
I'm glad you found the content helpful! Adobe Audition can be very noob-friendly with its user-friendly interface and powerful features.
Please no; I’m a dedicated application kind of person. I don’t want things to do multiple things. My pone is just a phone, call and text is all it does. I have an audio player for just listening to audio. I still have a CRT Tv because it’s just a TV with other devices for cable/streaming, bluray/dvd, etc. I don’t want my video editing software to be used for audio editing, leave that to the audio editing software
Why? When you can block out all the video features in Premiere Pro and make it into an audio workspace almost identical to Audition? All you need is to save the workspace or save as a template and job done.
@@MikeRussell because I actively use premier as a video editing software, and as I said. I like dedicated application things
You're old, aren't you.
@@pastorrandy I’m 28
Don't even suggest this! Some of us use Adobe Audition for music production, leave it alone!
Why read the manuals when we have Mr. Russel to do the dirty work 🙂
Always happy to be of service 🫡
i subscribed to you some years ago because of that one auto tune in audition tutorial. i wanted to know more about audio editing because of that. i cant believe people think its dead, its a very neat adobe app for sure but i think its better to buy audition more than premiere. yeah quick access is better but youll look more like a badass when you have different apps for different jobs
Thank you for sharing that with me! It means a lot to know my content has made a positive impact on your journey.
Great video. I have been thinking the same for a a little while now. In fact I should have done the VO for my latest video in Premiere Pro as a trial.
Thank you for your feedback! VO tests in Premiere are a good idea.
I found your videos quite helpful but how do clean up slurred speech due to an impediment?
Thank you for enjoying my content! To clean up slurred speech due to an impediment in Adobe Audition I recommend using the 'DeClicker' and 'DeEsser'.
the biggest feature i've used adobe audition for the text to speech part where if im timing out animations i can quickly put audio that lets met do a fair job of syncing this. it will also load the plugins for my focusrite audio interface which has plugins for a compressor, , parametric eq and some other stuff. 90 percent of the time if ive done a voiceover ic an do all that editing in premier.
Interesting use cases for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I think if we all collectively email or tweet at Adobe that we want updates, they’ll be down 🙌🏼😭
True! I believe the future of Adobe Audition depends on the feedback and demands of its users so it's great to be proactive and voice your support for updates!
This is really compelling from an editing standpoint, but what about on the recording end? I haven't tried Premiere as a DAW yet and only think of Premiere for post production.
Can it function as easily as Audition for multitrack recording?
Is there punch-and-roll (a huge godsend for VO people)?
Is there a way to duplicate all of the Audition functionality and keyboard mapping while using Premiere as an audio workspace, then switch back to Premiere mode (as it were) without having to change a million settings every time?
I've learned a ton from your channel over the years and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Absolutely! Premiere Pro can definitely function well for multitrack recording and even includes punch-and-roll functionality for VO work. Thanks for the thoughts!
Is there a way to bring an effects rack that I have saved in Audition into Premiere? If we can do that, they may actually be able to do away with Audition.
Yes, you can bring your saved effects rack from Adobe Audition into Adobe Premiere Pro but right now it’s a manual process.
Thanks for raising this interesting discussion, Mike. As a long-time pod-docu producer, I've always been puzzled by Adobe's increasingly obvious decision to abandon Au at a dead end and their unwillingness to really invest in the audio production segment. Using Audition feels like using a kind of bipolar product: It's both fabulously great and surprisingly bad at the same time. With its remarkable audio processing muscles, it could easily be the best DAW on the market - if only Adobe had chosen to devote some serious development resources to fixing the annoying elementary bugs that make it so tedious to use for large and complex multi-track projects.
So why not? Is the audio market too small for Adobe? Don't they see the possibilities? Was CoolEdit coded in a way that proved to be a poor basis for further development? For a while, it looked like the reason might be that Adobe wanted to start from scratch, moving its audio development resources over to the AI-based Adobe Podcast. But now there doesn't seem to be much happening there either.
Wish someone could do some journalistic digging into this and that Adobe would open up and talk seriously about their thoughts on the audio segment for those of us in the professional market who are still trying to stay as their customers.
Thanks for sharing your insights! It's definitely an interesting topic to explore further would love to hear more from Adobe’s perspective.
Hi buddy. I'm grateful for what you taught me. I know you have a lot of knowledge for the Adobe Audition application. I voice the documentaries I wrote on my own channel. I have professional equipment. However, I do not know what effects should be applied to the voice recording in documentary dubbing. There is no content on this subject in my country. My request from you is to produce content on how to edit documentary voice-overs and what effects should be applied to the audio recording. Thank you buddy. I'm so glad to have you. 🙂
I'm so glad to hear that you found my content helpful! I'll definitely work on creating a video tutorial specifically focusing on editing documentary voice-overs and the effects that should be applied to the audio recording in Adobe Audition. Stay tuned for that! 😊
@@MikeRussell This good news made me very happy. I will always follow you, my friend. I'm waiting with great curiosity. Thank you very much. 😊
Nice, this will work better for me. Question, can we use The Adobe Audition Presets v3.0 in Premiere Pro?
Thanks for the Q on presets. The audio effects rack is very, very different in Premiere. While not impossible it requires a rebuild or perhaps Audition’s effects rack intergrated into Premiere?
Nice outline of how to make an excellent audio interface in Premiere. Which mostly works, though ... when I do go to Audition, it's normally because of the amazing noise reduction of the noise print removal process. Which ain't available in Pr yet ...
Thank you for your feedback! Adobe Audition's noise reduction capabilities are definitely epic!
What is about automation of the effects settings on clips?
The automation of effects settings on clips in Adobe Audition is achieved through the use of effects racks. Specifically, in Multitrack.
Interesting! Kind of makes sense now. I've often wondered if Davinci Resolve's Fairlight is on par with Audition/Premiere and whether it could mean a non-subscription based price model option that's better than Audacity etc.
Interesting a wonder what the response to Fairlight will be in the long term? Although, saying that, Fairlights “best features” are also paywalled.
@@MikeRussell But DaVinci Resolve Studio is a fixed price, forever. I think it's about 6 months of Adobe CC, and then you own it forever.
Premiere is great for Audio Editing! The only thing missing for me is a Toogle Global Clip Stretching tool. Premiere Pro has "Maintaing audio pitch", but makes some wierd correction when stretching, kind a bad reverb. To correct this, I use a pitch shifter effect instead and worked, but only with individual adjustments in each clip instead of the automatically tool in Audition who does this.
Good caatch. Audition does incredible time stretching due, in no small part, to the algorithms they licensed from iZotope. These aren’t in Premiere as far as I know.
I agree with Mike. Davinci Resolve has editing, audio processing, compositing, and rendering all built into one app. Adobe separate these basic functions into four apps, which is a pain to switch back and force.
Interesting, thanks!
that works well ... until the point when you really want to work with the real Effects Rack like you do in Audition ... especially if you want to save effect rack preset ... you can't save plugin chains in Premiere Pro, you always have to manually put them in the mixer one by one ... at least you can copy plugins from on to another channel ... but in the end plugin workflow and performance with lots of plugins is not the same at all!
Agreed, lack of a comprehensive Effects Rack and the limitations in saving plugin chains make Adobe Audition better.
I did find Adobe audition to be similar to ProTools and I was getting comfortable using it, but I needed a DAW so I’ve been using logic for the last few years. But, I’ve been trying to use Premiere and struggling with it. Perhaps Premiere is going to be easier to use and as you said Audition is an awesome noise filter.
It sounds like you've had a good experience with Adobe Audition's noise filter!
@@MikeRussell i’ve used a lot of noise reduction software since 1999. The Adobe audition noise reduction, though is the most flexible and effective of all of them that I’ve tried in my opinion.
Using Au since it was Cool Edit. When they launched Adobe Podcast publicly and still didn't add transcription to Audition I was annoyed. I don't want to switch programs for audio editing.
I'm teaching Resolve, VN, Audacity, Inkscape, Canva and Photopea to my media students though, as they're never going to pay a sub for anything.
I would love transcription in Audition.
Is this why its not had many updates recently, I do not do anything with video just audio, switching to premiere pro does not make any sense.
I get it. If you’re just working on audio why would you want a tool designed for video? If Premiere reaches feature parity with Audition or does most everything apart from the noise stuff I guess it makes sense?
I'm very much a noob tinkerer (for my own self-tapes and audition submissions). Because I don't use Premiere Pro or Audition daily (hell, not even weekly or monthly) I forget the little I've learned - plus I only learn what I need to to clean up my acting audition self-tapes. Hence I consider myself very much a "noob!" (For example, I'd never thought of creating a view for dealing with just sound in Premiere Pro or knew that was an option. I'm indeed very green but always in awe of the product's capabilities - which far out-span mine 🤣).
So please forgive my silly question: presumably all of those audio tracks will still sit in the general Project Panel so that if you flick back to the original Video Editing view you'll still see them and have access to use them with the film footage?
As for the risk of Adobe Audition being retired and jeopardising your UA-cam channel ... pfffft! You'll just keep showing people how to use the tools they have to achieve the same high standards as you already do 😏👍👍
Yes, all audio tracks will still be accessible in the general Project Panel, allowing you to switch back to the original Video Editing view and use them with the film footage.
Ive been using Adobe Audition since it was called CoolEdit Pro. My work flow consisted of Cool Edit Pro, ACID, and the greatest multitrack music creation tool to ever exist Making Waves Studio. I miss those days! Things were so much easier.
It's great that you have a history with those tools!
Hi Mike,
If you only do those simple audio things it's OK: you do'nt need Au.
But there are so many things you can do in Au you ca'nt in Pr...
Examples: in Pr you can't open several audio effects simultanously - you don't have diagnostics, statistics, batch processing, aso...
Au is made to work with complex audio: try to mix 40 audio tracks in Pr...
Long life to Au 🤗
"Pr you can't open several audio effects simultanously". I assume you are talking about the floating effects panels. You can, there is a button in the upper tight hand corner ot the panel called "Targeted" mode, if you click on it, it will leave the effect window open in the view when you launch another effect. Try it.
Good thoughts!
@@mattstegner many thanks! I had not seen this "hidden gem"
Can we record audio directly in the timeline just like in Audition?
Yes, you can record audio directly into the timeline in Adobe Audition.
I hate that Audition may be on the way out. I used it a lot when I was a DJ on AFN-Iraq in 2011.
Could you do a video to show how to make a voice pop in Descript? Studio Sound makes me sound higher pitched and nasally
I used Cool Edit Pro back in my radio days. Oh, the memories! Good one on Descript - watch this space.
Please don’t go down this clickbait road, as tempting as it might be to you.
But why? Adobe Audition had no significant updates for 3 years. Premiere Pro is getting all the latest audio goodies. Audio first folks are switching to Descript (and other editors) and even Audacity added AI features recently that Adobe Audition could have easily added if they wanted. DaVinci Resolve Fairlight now does music stem separation - Audition does not. This is NOT clickbait. I am genuinely asking if we all think Adobe Audition is dead?
@@MikeRussell So do you believe Adobe will essentially merge the two applications? I mean it does make some sense, and maybe you have more insight too! You might be convincing me that you’re onto something Mike!
@@tonep3168I found it baffling that the feature where you edit a track through text edits in a transcript doesn’t exist in audition.
But I don’t care if everything gets carried over to Premiere. That’d make it easier to edit a video podcast on one go.
@@jjopification What is bad about this, is that Adobe are charging a huge subscription for Audition, and they owe their customers some honesty, unless they have some huge update coming that will explain why it has been neglected. I think we have to remember that Adobe is also spread pretty thin, and in many ways they have never been the best programmers out there, so it stands to reason that the sudden AI push of the last year has left them unable to cope with their own product stack, and Audition has been pushed down the priority list.
Is no clickbait, Adobe Audition has been stagnant since 2019 version no significant upgrade till this moment
If they do make the transition, I would at least hope it will take care of some of the video issues of Audition like the videos flaking out after the 40 minute mark. It's currently workable but still a nuisance.
Good point but I thought editing video in Audition was an edge case?
@@MikeRussell Having a reference video in a session is super useful, especially for audio description mixing, which is what I do.
I'm not a fan particularly of "jack of all trades" software. At the moment, Premiere doesn't replace what I use AA for, however much it can be made to approximate the look and vague "feel". I don't do video editing at all and don't envisage ever doing so.
I've used AA and the product it used to be (CoolEdit Pro) for many many years. I never really understood why Adobe bought it out. AA has improved a lot, of course over CEP but it just doesn't "fit" with their product suite and never really has. It wuld be nice if they could just sell it to someone else to develop if they don't want to do anything further with it. Or release it as abandonware if they kill it off. They once released AA v3 for free for a while once it was redundant, after all.
Hopefully we get our audio fix sorted out!
I wish you would have covered VST3 effects, both in mixing and in exporting. That is currently a big problem with Adobe Audition.
Thank you for your feedback! I’ve covered VST3 effects in previous Adobe Audition tutorials.
Can you please make a video where we can learn how to use basic tools to make our voice crisp and deep bold? please make one video for us. thank you.
Absolutely! I'll create a tutorial on using basic tools in Adobe Audition to enhance the crispness and boldness of your voice, stay tuned!
And did you try the noise reduction in Premiere?
Yes, I did try the noise reduction in Premiere Pro. Audition is better.
Adobe has not talked about audition at their conferences for about 4 years. Ive thought that elimination of audition has been in the plans for years.
Very sad for audio editing
The silence at conferences has been noted.
This was fantastic (they all are). Please consider making your next vid jacked on Red Bull...just kidding; love the energy!
Thank you for the kind words! I'll make sure to bring some extra energy to the next video with the addition of some wings.
I think Au still has it's uses. What they can do with it to keep it alive is turn it into fully fledged music production software.
Maybe but we have Logic and FL Studio surely?
@@MikeRussell True. But imagine top tier music production software as a part of your subscription. One less thing I need to pay for.
Great if you video edit in Premier but I switched to resolve 3 years ago and have never considered going back even once.
Thanks for sharing.
Can you use a controller like the Mackie with Prem pro? I would hate to see audition buried 😢
I believe Mackie was always an intergration with Audition. Unsure about Premiere Pro however.
Premiere support Mackie MCU and EuCon control surfaces. If you have set up the device in Audition, the setup procedure is very similar in Premiere Pro.
It's quite likely that Adobe Audition may be on the way out because of the duplication of the audio features when compared to Premiere Pro. Why have two Apps when one will suffice? As for me, I am on the fence right now as I use Audition to create Radio Shows with the help of "Mike's Pre-sets", so am wondering...... if Audition merges with Premier Pro at some point in the future, will I sill be able to create my shows efficiently using the merged software.
Premiere Pro audio features are thought provoking for sure. I think the effects rack in Premiere ideally needs to be much more robust along with the ability to save track wide presets. If this was the case all of “Mike’s Presets” could live in Premiere!
Haha, and I just deleted Premiere today. I use Resolve. But I did like how I could fine-tune audio in Audition. If they had an AI-based noise removal/voice isolator, I would still be using it.
More AI in Audition would be very welcome although I think the noise reduction is already awesome?
Nested audio would be good… (like nested video). Can it do that?
Yeah, Premiere can nest audio for sure.
NO, please.
No, I haven't tried the APP yet, but will definitely try, BUT please, I hope that AA continues. It would be far better to keep the products separate, and continue to build on AA. That's just my opinion
Let’s wait and see?
When Avid got scooped up by that private equity firm, I thought Adobe would go after Pro Tools if Avid decided to sell off assets. Not that it can't still happen, but with NAB having come and gone, and nothing announced, who knows?
Ultimately, Adobe is putting all of the new audio "eggs" into their NLE not unlike Davinci Resolve with their Fairlight module. (And that's free, so...)
Good point and who knows what the future may hold?
I use premier pro daily.. if you zoom all the way I you can move.01 seconds and not by frames.. I use that to line up multiple instruments and videos over each other.
That's a great tip for precise editing in Premiere Pro - thanks!
I see Premiere Pro has finally made it to the Mac. If noise reduction makes its way into Premiere Pro, then yes, it's possible Audition can be made redundant. But the stalwarts like myself I don't think will be jumping ship soon. That's just my thoughts.
Looks like Adobe is playing musical chairs with their software! Let's see if Audition can stay in the game.
Mike, you're so cool. You're like a rock star.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! I appreciate the support.
Thanks for your work and your sharing it. Audition died a long time ago...... (1.5 or 3.0)
Thanks for your comment! 3.0 was really cool for sure.
Great video, and I used APP 12 years ago at Capital TV South East ASIA Bangkok. So I'd say bye bye Adobe Audition, as the combination of the two programs makes sense.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Its all over my head!
Don't worry, I've got you covered!
I've used Audition for all my VoiceOver recordings for the last 5 years. Unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible) Premiere doesn't seem offer any comparable recording facility ....
Premiere has a voice over record icon next to each track.
Please tell me you don't know something we don't! Well, about this in particular. Honestly hope Audition is going to stay around. I really really hope they're not. Thanks for the video. Please don't make this happen! 🙏
I have some many great memories. This comments thread is turning into a eulogy.
Adobe audition I feel is going to be rolled into premiere - or something similar with more advanced audio processing as part of a single package. It makes sense, cus they have the money. BUT - Adobe does have an annoying track record at this point.
Personally, cus I love it, I would not want something Ive literally used for nearly 15 years now to just.....disappear. But who knows how the minds at Adobe work, cus I dont even think they do XD
Adobe Audition may be integrated into Premiere Pro for sure although I agree that I have lots of Audition (and Cool Edit) nostalgia.
Audition es el mejor editor lejos, lo uso para mezclar mi música y es súper sencillo, quirúrgico y completo, es una lástima que Adobe no le dé importancia a una herramienta tan potente 😢
I'm glad you love using Audition for your music mixing - it's a powerful tool indeed!
Audition can't be dead because Audition can do processes that Premiere can't do such as Noise Reduction. I use Audio Track Mixer in Premiere to process audio most of the time (with no where near the skill you have), and I link over to Audition if I need the noise reduction, amplitude statistics etc that can only be found in Audition. Audition is still the standard tool.
Absolutely! There is plenty in Audition that we can’t see in Premiere.
Its Audacity a good replacement?
Although Audacity is a popular free option, Adobe Audition still offers advanced features. Saying that, Audacity is doing its best to catch up!
Adobe could, at least, sell the latest Audition version for a symbolic price when discontinued. Lifetime licence, like the old good times.
Interesting thought. Are some people still using Adobe Audition 3.0 however?
@@MikeRussell in my university we are still using CS4 and CS6
If it only does the “same” thing as audition, then why change? You need to show my this workflow adding valuable extra features. Then I’d consider switching. At the moment I don’t see any value added. Just troublesome transition.
Absolutely, I hear you! You can’t stop progress however and ALL of it is happening in Premiere Pro.
I wonder when Audition will add midi...
While Adobe Audition doesn't currently support MIDI functionality I’m not sure it’s high on the agenda.
Yes it has, as they have integrated most into Premiere Pro. its not a bad thing.
Esepcially if they make it easy to edit audio first projects in Premiere Pro with every new update. We need crossfades in general release of Premiere Pro NOW. Unbelivable how this one feature makes life so much easier!
@@MikeRussell Good point Mike. I loved Audition in the old days, but Adobe really need to import all into Premiere moving forward.
If it's true I'm going to miss Audition. But cost saving would be a great idea.
Cost is indeed a factor.
If Audition goes away, it would totally irk me. It's what I only use as a DAW. I know I'm unusual, as it's the only DAW I use for music recording. Don't use MIDI, so it works for me.
I have over 70 vst 3's that are used in my productions, so if they can be moved(?) into P.P........ well, maybe it wouldn't be the end of my world ......... but still ...........
I've also been paying the monthly A.A cost ta boot, and that even WENT UP RECENTLY!!!!
Why the heck would they increase the monthly subscription fee if they were soon going to do away with Audition??
This is all rather annoying!!!!!!
Your use case is understandable.
That is great for pre-recorded audio, but you can't record directly into Premiere. If you need to record, you have to use another app. Also, audition allows plug-ins. If they put this into Premiere, then I would say, yes, Audition is redundant. Until then, No.
Premiere Pro allows you to record directly by clicking the microphone icon on each audio track. Job done.
@@MikeRussell Well, that is new. That changes things a bit, now if they would allow plug-ins.
Love from UAE
Thank you so much for the love from the UAE!
@@MikeRussell love you buddy
I think it's silly that Adobe still has all of these as standalone programs instead of incorporating them into one comprehensive editing suite like DRS. It's all about the 💰💰💰Sure, if you only need one or two of them, fine, but why not include them in one package so you don't to bounce in and out of them and all the linking etc. Plain silly.
Interesting take for sure!
Audition was my primary audio mastering editor for years. I haven't seen or heard about it in 25-30 years now. And Audacity is free...
Thanks for the points!
I hope PR price still the same
Thanks!
Please NOOOO! I don't need to learn a "new" DAW. What about things like using Rode Procaster 2 with PP? Does it / will it work the same? What about all my personal settings can they be imported across? I use noise reduction like a religion, what do you do now if you say it's not the same in PP?
Don't worry! There’s a way to go for these features in Premiere yet.
I feel professionally attacked
I promise it's all in good fun.
I don't want Audition to go away.
Let’s hope not?
Is Audition obsolete? Well, is people still editing on very old hardware? Well yes, so I don't think it's really dead unless some heavy efficiency overhaul happens in the near future for newer software.
Let’s see what happens.
Audition is Audition, they can add more functions, more effects and change the appearance somewhat... I prefer to keep it AU
Absolutely, sticking with what works best for you is key.
I still fondly keep the old Cool Edit!!!! Thank you for your work!
AUDITION: Where am I?
FIREWORKS: You're in Adobe Heaven.
AUDITION: Adobe Heaven? But I've been around forever... Adobe wouldn't retire me! Wait! I've been murdered... by Premiere!
FLASH: Poor guy. Do you want to take this one Fireworks, or should I?
MUSE: Ahh, come on guys. He just go here! Let him dream a little!
DREAMWEAVER: Did someone say Dreamweaver?
FIREWORKS: No! Get back in your box with GoLive where you belong!
🤠☕
See what you did there! Let’s not forget Adobe Soundbooth that joined the Adobe Afterlife Suite years ago.
Adobe Audition will always have a place in my studio...
Absolutely! Love it!
How freaking ridiculous is it that Audition DOES NOT have Enhanced Speech?
Would love it.
can you make a video of a new update of audacity in 2024 and a collaboration with alex knickerbocker
I appreciate the suggestion! I'll keep an eye out for Audacity updates in 2024 and potential collaboration with Alex - I’m open!
😂😂😂 You got us MR!
Adobe Soundbooth was so good for capturing voice overs back in the day.
Meh, I used to love Audition, and when Adobe kills Audition I'm not that sad because I switched to Hindenburg
I hope Hindenburg works well for you.
bay tuh,,,,,,not bee tuh. I like Audtion's audio options better than premiere pro
Thanks!
I don't get it. Why use Premier Pro as a DAW and have to use Audition just for NR. These days there are plenty of very good open source and even much cheaper paid-for options (think Reaper) that have infinite tweaking capabilities, support for may more plugin formats, no subscription and no chance of Adobe dropping the software like a hot potato and leaving you high and dry.
Then of course there is DaVinci Resolve for video and audio and even Audacity for simpler audio projects.
All of the above "DAW's" (although technically Audacity is not a DAW) have fantastic plugins and noise reduction.
If the NR in those don't work for you, plenty of online options too and again, no need to be a slave to the whims of Adobe.
While there are indeed many great alternatives out there I have a place in my heart for Adobe Audition.
@@MikeRussell Fair enough.
Beeta?? Oh c'mon...
Why not?
Are you kidding? Adobe Audition can't be dead already!
Hoping for an update soon 🙏
Buy Audition subscription that costs 331 usd yearly in my country? Or buy the whole package that costs 331 usd yearly? Tough question... 😅😅 What´s funnier is that Premiere is half of what it cost Audition.
Interesting thoughts on costs for sure.
I don't think Adobe Audition is dead.
The speculation continues…
Well THAT was some clickbait.
Grain of truth in all clickbait however.
Not really. The rumors have been floating around for a while now that Adobe is going to drop audition. Mike is just trying to soften the blow. He's in Adobe insider after all.
@@stanarthurwhat will happen to people who use it for audio engineering? Audacity is good but not that good
Audition will be integrated into Premiere. Audition was never up to Apple or other real DAWs
Thanks for sharing your view.
Use Audacity. Still one of the best audio editors around.
Audacity is fine.
Is Adobe Audition dead? Nah.... a hard habit to break...
Absolutely, Adobe Audition is still a powerhouse in the audio editing world!
If you're going to abandon Audition, why not use an actual DAW and make life much easier? Pro Tools? Logic? And if you're a Windows user, Vegas destroys everything out there as far as navigation, workflow, and speed.
Thanks for the thoughts.
TREASON!
🤣
Ha ha, Daniel. Audacity is flying with AI additions right now BTW 😉
beeta
Indeed!
Like your work Mike, but don't do this kind of clickbait titles. Not nice, you can do better. 👎🏼
I appreciate your feedback! The intention behind the title was to spark a conversation about the future of Adobe Audition.
