"Overall, this is a solid, well researched program that features an ergonomic design to accommodate the rapid workflow of a production studio."
David Plotkin, Radio World, September 22, 2011
"Overall, Audition is a very welcome addition to the Creative Suite."
Jonathan Smith, Software Latest, August 23, 2011
"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
"...Audition CS5.5 is what audio professionals have been waiting for."
Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide, July 24, 2011
"Audition was missing in CS4 and CS5 but has made a triumphant return in CS5.5."
Bill Blinn, TechByter Worldwide, July 24, 2011
“Adobe Audition CS5.5 is a much anticipated upgrade to a top quality audio processing application."
Ricky Grove, Renderosity, July 18, 2011
"Does Audition CS5.5 perform? I'd say so."
Darren Wiczek, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, July 1, 2011
"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
"Audition CS5.5 interacts perfectly with Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5 so that they all seem to be one program."
Ricky Grove, Renderosity, June 13, 2011
"I would have to call Adobe Audition CS5.5 a revolutionary release..."
T. Michael Testi, BlogCritics, June 5, 2011
"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
"From the moment you launch Audition, it has a familiar look and feel. The interface is clean and easy to understand."
Trey Thomas, VoiceOverXtra, June 3, 2011
"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
"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
"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
"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
"To say that Adobe’s Audition is a staple of radio production would be an understatement."
Steve Cunningham, Radio and Production, January 2008
"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
"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

“I used Adobe Audition CS5.5 on the Mac to enhance dialog audio for Francis Xavier's 'Poe' for Metropolis Pictures Entertainment. The interface of Audition is more professional and the feature set for audio editing and mixing is more robust and complete than comparable applications I have tried. For example, the Speech Volume Leveler is just one of several tools in Adobe Audition CS5.5 that helped turn problematic production audio quickly into useful final dialogue. Audition CS5.5 also fits seamlessly into our workflow.”—Mike Kureth, Producer, “Poe,” Metropolis Pictures Entertainment
