The Danger of Doing a Top Software Picks List
Some people have asked me about not having Adobe Audition on the list. Honestly, I haven't looked at Audition in a while. There is such an array of software which can be used to produce podcasts now, that it is pretty hard to keep up with them all and still produce your own work.
Here's what I know about Audition: Before Adobe bought it, it was called Cool Edit Pro, and was widely used in radio stations for editing. I have used Cool Edit Pro as my main audio editor for years, and I've been so happy with it, that when it was bought by Adobe, I never bothered to upgrade; It already did everything I wanted it to do.
Maybe some podcasters on this site can help me catch up. Did all of the stations upgrade Cool Edit Pro to Audition? If so, then it would seem to have the same compatibility advantage that Pro Tools does, perhaps even more so (capability wise, they are roughly equivalent). Could you let me know if you're using Audition, and what your thoughts are on the newer versions?
