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?

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. 🤠☕

They're dragging their feet on fixing this... I also wish they had all the editing by text and other fancy features also in Audition, with the addition of better auto marking and segmenting tools to help mark and cut the audio, even giving marker names suggestions based on AI audio analysis tools that could give appropriate descriptive tags. Generative tools for AI voiceovers would be nice too. Maybe even generative music tools. Yes I feel like they're neglecting Audition because it's likely only a small part of their user base, but that's just a guess. Thoughts?

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 feel the same. Very little work being done on Audition yet Premiere is getting the love. It’s almost like Davinci does in Resolve with Fairlight built right in. I expect it’s going that direction and your video emphasizes just how easy it is to do in Pr what we can in Au. I suspect repair tools are on the horizon as well as spectral editing which would put the nail in Au’s coffin. Not sure how I feel honestly.

Your comment raises some valid concerns about the future of Adobe Audition, thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although Audacity is a popular free option, Adobe Audition still offers advanced features. Saying that, Audacity is doing its best to catch up!

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!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Like after effects, audition is now a zombie product…… not dead, not alive. Same happens to adobe muse and other products from adobe. 1. no more updates. 2. wait until user base drops to very low. 3. the end of a era and act like it never exists in the first place.

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.

Adobe could, at least, sell the latest Audition version for a symbolic price when discontinued. Lifetime licence, like the old good times.

Audition just crushes fairlight as someone who uses both. You can chop up audio 100x faster on audition and it doesn't cut it up into 100 clips just 1 big clip once your done and it is sent back to PP. soo good.

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. 🙂
