A DAW does what it suppose to do at its best.

Adobe Audition is one of my very first DAW and I have been using it for almost 7 years. The interface and the pre built plug-ins really teach me a lot on basic audio sounds effect and editing.

I mostly like about it is its capability of using multiple plug ins with decent amount of resources (I mean like a lot of it, like plenty of heavy plug-in like Ozone 7 and Abbey Road tape at the same time, on a i5, 8GB laptop) and the overall concept is easy to understand (Want multiple channel to use on a same set of plug in? Connect them into a same bus to save some performance. Effect that's too performance hungry on real time? Use pre-render option to smooth out the flow and more).

Although it still have some flaws like Random crashing when recording 32 tracks for two hours in 24bit, 48kHZ and unable to support MIDI (Please Adobe, it really save my time), but overall it is a good DAW should basically have. (Low resource need and excellent VST support).

Simply great!

Adove Audition is one of the best audio editing software out there. It offers a lot of options with it's outstanding comprehensive toolset (such as waveform, spectral display and multitrack). It's great for professional use to both record and edit audio. You can use it to work side by side with other Adobe software (such as After Effects and Premiere). If you're new to audio editing in general, you might need some time to get used to it.

The only downside is that compared to the previous versions of Adobe Audition, this one requires a lot more out of your PC but doesn't offer a whole lot more than the previous versions. So if you have a lower end PC, I would recommend going with one of the older versions such as CS3, CS4 or CS5.

Great audio editor for my needs

Luckily I got access to Audition through the university I work for, ended up using it on a whim earlier this year, and it has become extremely valuable to me. I enjoy sampling, and found Audition very intuitive for me to use, so much so that I think my sampling and audio editing work has shot up.

Creates studio-type sound out of anything.

I used to use this program to do ALL of my vocal mixing and it does a great job, but it really doesn't teach you how to REALLY mix and master. You can make shit sound great in this but it doesn't really use the same mixing process that industry standards like Ableton and Logic Pro X use.

Good if you have a keyboard.

This software doesn't come with any built-in sounds, so you can't use it without another instrument. However, the EQ settings here are good, and it is easy to use. You can easily convert songs into different formats, from 64-bit, 192 kHz WAV files to 128kbps MP3 files.

Great for editing

THIS IS NOT A DAW, don't buy it if you want to MAKE music. It's for CHANGING music.

Very good sound editing software

Very good sound editing software for cleaning up audio, EQing full songs, tuning vocals, and also mixing tracks with the Multitrack option.

Straightforward DAW

I mainly use this to edit any recordings that I have. I don't really do anything crazy with it. I use it for it's EQ, Reverb, and Mastering functions.

The Greatest, to be honest, after Cool Edit Pro!

I use it everytime that I want to record!
