“Audition CS6 has been designed to allow you to work quickly, and has a range of features that can help speed things up.”
B&H Photo Video, Sam Mallery, May 23, 2012

Macworld
“As someone who uses Audition for podcasts and general audio dabbling I liked and used Audition CS5.5. But lack of support for control surfaces, clip grouping, and the like, made this application an unlikely candidate for audio professionals. With the return of these and other important Audition 3 features in Audition CS6, as well as the introduction of useful features such as skip selection and automatic speech alignment, pros not looking for advanced music features now have reason to give Audition a second look—particularly if they’re working with Premiere files.”

The Online Photographer
"Now it's out as Audition 5.5. Fabulous. Although it's $350, it would've been worth every penny to me to get it the moment I embarked on this project."
Ctein, The Online Photographer, August 8, 2011

"Does Audition CS5.5 perform? I'd say so."
Darren Wiczek, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, July 1, 2011

MicroFilmmaker Magazine
"Do you need another screwdriver, or another hammer? Probably not. But do you need a tool that can diagnose problems, use adaptive correction to fix them with a click of the mouse, and support even cooler abilities with industry standard plug-ins. I bet you do."
Darren Wiczek, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, July 1, 2011

Renderosity
"Audition CS5.5 interacts perfectly with Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5 so that they all seem to be one program."

BlogCritics
"Audition is a very comprehensive product and is very ready for professional production work. Now with the ability to work with Adobe Premiere Pro and the fact that it works on the Mac, I think it is going to become the defacto standard for the film, web, and video production world."
T. Michael Testi, BlogCritics, June 5, 2011

ProVideo Coalition
"If you’ve been sitting on the fence trying to figure out if you should take the plunge and upgrade, the inclusion of Adobe’s Audition should have you running credit card in hand to the Adobe Store to pick it up!"
Kevin McAuliffe, ProVideo Coalition, May 25, 2011

Radio World Online
"Since acquiring Cool Edit and renaming it Audition, Adobe has consistently invested resources that have taken the product from a modest digital audio editor to a first-rate audio editing suite including both two-track and multitrack capability."
Read Burgan, Radio World Online, May 2008

"Adobe Audition 3 has hit the street — and passes the tryout with flying colors."
Dave Jones, Performing Songwriter, March/April 2008
-
Keyboard Magazine
"You probably have scissors, a knife, nail file, and corkscrew sitting around…yet you still have a Swiss Army knife because it puts all those things in one convenient place. Audition is like that. It's a surprisingly versatile piece of software with a toolkit that's unlike anything else."
Craig Anderton, Keyboard Magazine, March 2008
-
Digital Media Net
"The most immediate element of Audition is its extremely well-rounded feature set. Audition aims, and largely succeeds, in being a single application to cover all elements of audio production for all kinds of audio work."
Mike Jones, Digital Media Net, February 2008
-
Radio and Production
"To say that Adobe’s Audition is a staple of radio production would be an understatement."
Steve Cunningham, Radio and Production, January 2008
-
Producer's Edge
"The reasons to upgrade from version 2 to 3 are quite obvious, but the addition of MIDI recording, enhancements to an already stable and powerful engine and an improved workflow make the idea of sticking with 1.5 ridiculous."
Drew Spence, Producer's Edge, Fall/Winter 2008

Digital Content Producer
"If you've spent much time working with DAWs, it won't take long for you to get going with Audition 3."
Gary Eskow, Digital Content Producer, December 2007

"[Audition 3] features excellent and intuitive controls for creating professional music tracks from start to finish. As a musician and composer I found it to be a feature-rich program with the ability to record right to my desktop and then fine-tune my various tracks to perfection."
Bob Nicholl, Designer Today, November 19, 2007

Customer testimonials
“Adobe Audition CS6 now lets me group clips and move them all together, as if they were one clip. I can stretch a group as if it were one clip or suspend grouping to remove a single clip without affecting the grouping of the other clips. When I’m on deadline, features like this are really vital.”—Jerry Ibbotson, sound designer and audio producer
“Audition CS6 gets out of the way and allows me to concentrate on the sound that I’m working on: I can normalize, fade in and out, find zero points and create effects racks. I’m amazed at how fast you can work with it. For sampling work, you need a dedicated environment like this. I can’t imagine trying to bring a whole movie into some of the other applications and trying to work with sounds in this way.”—Nick Bertke, aka Pogo
“When I’m editing dialog it is really useful to be able to rehearse the edit before it is finalized, especially when I’m cutting something in the middle of a sentence. Skip Selection in Adobe Audition CS6 lets me preview an edit to hear how it will sound so I’m sure to get the best end result.”—Jerry Ibbotson, sound designer and audio producer
“We do a lot of sound design, supplying the zips, zaps, and booms you hear on radio. With Adobe Audition CS6, we can stretch or compress clips in real time and make them sound totally different, increasing the range of material that we can provide for various uses.”—David "AJ" Bilger, creative director
“The Media Browser panel in Adobe Audition CS6 saves me so much time because I can audition audio files before bringing them into a project, and then simply drag them in when I’m ready.”—David "AJ" Bilger, creative director
