More issues with Windows 7
elearningvoiceApril 22, 2015
Pros
ok for post production
Cons
serious flaws for recording. I'm using Windows 7 and the program has not worked right since it was installed. Most significantly when recording, it is prone to random drop outs throughout the recording. I installed it on a brand new Dell latitude - spent hours tweaking it based on online "suggestions" - even shipped it back to Dell to see if it was machine error.
Summary
I'm back to Audacity for recording. ugh
Perfect For Someone Just Starting Out Not For Pros
Music-Producer2010July 10, 2012
Pros
I have the older version 3 that I've seen others mention on here and it seem to be okay. The biggest plus seem to be the sound quality of Adobe Audition which is really outstanding for a program of it's category. It's pretty good for last minute Mastering and all but however I wouldn't use it to do anything major much.
Cons
No large time clock that I could find anyway in version 3 and I feel that it is very over priced.
Summary
Good for someone just starting out but as far as I'm concern nothing major for someone that been into Music Production for awhile. The Rewire is always a plus and maybe I'm missing something but I was expecting a lot more from Adobe Audition at a price like this. Again if you are just starting out or just want something smaller and don't mind paying top dollar, This is pretty good for you but not for the upscale Producers, However I'll keep it for small jobs but I however prefer WaveLab 6, Nuendo or even Sound Forge as someone else mention earlier.
the best in the world

Missing 2 essential features
JonCFoxNovember 11, 2011
Pros
Fast, nice interface, runs on my Win7
Cons
Can't read a very common audio format: wma. Can't burn CDs. Wow - this is nearly unbelievable! Previous versions could do these two functions. It can't be hard to incorporate these functions into the program, can it? No, I'm not making this up - Adobe even discusses that they've left these out on their official website. Is there a free plug-in somewhere to do these?
Summary
Outrageous that they left out these 2 necessary features.
Audition 3 is better for working with waveforms
f5gj2May 5, 2011
Pros
? Waveform display is a little prettier
Cons
? If you change window size, all the boxes lose their positions ? Navigating through waveform is frustrating ? Lots of wasted screen space ? Can't zoom to tops of waveforms ? Frequency analysis not available for live monitoring?
Summary
If you use Audition for mixing music, it might be fine. I don't use it for that. If you use it for waveform analysis and editing (as its ancestor Cool Edit was designed to do) you will be disappointed. Audition 3 was better for this, and I will continue using it.
Absolutely excellent - unless you have Windows 7
chisongsMarch 12, 2011
Pros
Quite simply the most user-friendly radio production and music software production tool you could hope for. Used with Windows XP, it is a dream ... but ..
Cons
Has significant incompatibility issues with Windows 7. Also, the activation transfer programme between computers is a pain and could be much easier than it currently is.
Summary
I have successfully used Audition 3.0 for a couple of years on a home desktop PC using Windows XP. It has been a wonderful experience; as a professional radio and music producer, this allowed me to create new music ideas or extract exist tracks from CDs to create soundscapes - from promos/trails to commercials and full programmes. My major problems only came to light when I moved to another part of the country and needed to run it on a new laptop (using Windows 7; certain important feature stopped working. This new operating system has disabled the 'extract from audio cd' function, which means you cannot rip music from CDs. In order to do this, you have to use other software, save to hard drive and then you can open with Audition - which effectively renders it pointless. Secondly, as Windows 7 has removed the Windows recording mixer, you are no longer able to connect instruments directly to the laptop - essential for putting music ideas onto the hard drive. Suddenly this product is totally worthless to me. I should point out that having spoken to Adobe (and allowed them remote access to my laptop), this is clearly not an issue created by their product - and they acknowledged it is an issue with Windows 7 for which there is currently no fix. The suggestion being, that these functions have been disabled by Microsoft's operating system in an effort to combat piracy. Fair enough, but having bought Audition for a specific function, this is not helpful .. and leaves me having to either load XP onto the new laptop, or accepting that I will have to buy a Mac and move to Logic 7 or Protools. Bizarrely, other software like Sony Sound Forge rips without problems. Yes, I can use this and then edit with Audition, but it really isn't the point, is it? I am extremely sad about it this as I otherwise love the software, but felt it right to share the information so you don't get caught as I have done and you can make an informed judgment before purchasing. After all, it isn't cheap. Finally, a comment on the activation transfer system. As I discovered, the switching between computers on the one-PC licence is a bit of a pain. If you don't deactivate the software before attempting to activate the software on your second computer, you cannot simply switch online. It has to be deactivated first. If this seems irrrelevant, here's what happened to me. I installed the new software onto my new PC, but forgot to deactivate on my home desktop. When I arrived (300 miles away) in my remote location, I found that I couldn't switch between the two unless I had deactivate on the other machine first. I was then unable to use the product until I got home 3 weeks later as I could not simply deactivate the other machine online. Surely, in this day and age, Adobe can develop a system where you can open the installed second version of the software and then connect to the website to switch for use on the second computer? There will be many like me who simply forget to deactivate and need to be able to do that from a remote location! In any event, three weeks later after finally activating it, imagine the joy of discovering it was incompatible with Windows 7! Deep joy. Thought you should know.

The professional audio producer's dream
Mark_LawrenceApril 8, 2010
Pros
Beautiful, user-friendly interface. A comprehensive suite of tools for professional audio production. Dual monitor capability. Multi-band compressor. Impressive audio restoration with adaptive noise reduction. CD ripper / burner. mp3PRO codec.
Cons
No PPM meters. No 64 bit support. Too complicated and expensive for amateur use. Adobe Soundbooth or Audacity may be better alternatives for basic audio work.
Summary
I have used Audition ( and Cool Edit ) since 1999 for professional radio and video production. Until recently Pro Tools, SADiE, and Nuendo seemed always to have the edge over Audition but Since Audtion 3 the situation has changed dramatically. ( Audition 2 was a good challenge to the competition also ) I would recommend anyone who has tried older versions of Audition or Cool Edit to try V3. I don't think you can get better value for money. VUplayer.com offer a range of free additional filters.
