Adobe Audition is easily the most underrated and in my opinion the best audio recording software on the market, period. Also, as far as cleaning pops and cracks out of your audio there is no better program. I like that you can lock effects in Adobe Audition, the wave editing is second to none.
Since I record my vocals and high-hats and cymbals to tape my stuff comes out sounding very musical and rich as opposed to the digital, clinical sound I hear from Pro Tools. When I record with Adobe Audition it doesn't have that sound. Of course every "professional studio" is using PT but listen to what's being created, for instance "the proof is in the pudding." In other words I can tell when something has been recorded in Pro Tools it just has a Pro Tools sound to it that is very digital sounding. In my opinion Adobe Audition is a better program than Pro Tools. I've used Nuendo as well but it lacks some features that Adobe Audition has. I started out using Cool Edit Pro 2.0, (Which was the earlier version of Adobe Audition) and it is in my opinion one of the better audio recording programs I've used. THe PC is relegated to Audition and file storage I used to have 4 PCs, now I have 3 MACS and 1 PC. In the last year I've moved towards the MAC platform. In fact, Audition is one of the few reasons I even have a PC anymore. I've dedicated a laptop as my 2bus recorder. That said, I like it better than wavelab and sound forge as an editor, so a free multitrack environment is added value over those apps. The multitrack is great for doing something quick, but the feature set isn't as complete as the other standard DAWS. This is a great view for sorting out some problems. There's also a pan and phase view where the Yaxis is pan or phase. Solo your kick and bass to visually see where you might have some masking occuring. You can then aid your mixing by soloing instruments and seeing exactly where their frequency components are. Route your 2bus output to Audition input. It's an AMAZING mixdown recording program as well. The spectral editing(y axis is frequency) is unmatched anywhere. It's no protools replacement, but it's an awesome protools compliment.
This would be compatible with 64 bit windows.I'm a bit of an expert on Audition myself. This is complete offline installer and standalone setup for Adobe Audition CC 2020.
