As a YouTube photography podcaster, I've been using Adobe Audition CS5 for a while. This software is important for creating my content, and I like how easy it is to use.
After creating my YouTube channel, I wanted to find a reliable and affordable audio editing tool. Adobe Audition was exactly what I needed. I use it mostly to remove background noise, add intros and outros to my podcasts, and adjust the audio volume.
I prefer Adobe Audition CS5 download because I'm used to its interface. I've been using this version since I started, so I'm very comfortable with how it works. Newer versions might have some advanced features that could take time to learn, but CS5 is straightforward and works well for me.

Noise reduction for crisp podcasts
When I record in different places, there's often background noise that I don't want in my audio. After the Adobe Audition CS5 download, I can easily reduce this noise.
For instance, recently I recorded my podcast outdoors, and there were a low hum and distant chatter. Using the noise reduction feature, I easily removed these distractions and produce professional-quality audio.
Adding intro/outro music to podcasts
Setting the tone for my podcasts is important. I use this free audio editing software to add intro and outro music to my recordings. I have a special track that plays at the start and end of every episode, which gives my content a professional touch. This feature is simple to use— all I need to do is just drag and drop my music files and adjust the volume levels.
Adjusting audio levels
Making sure the audio sounds consistent in my videos is important for listeners. This podcast recording software has simple tools to adjust volume levels. If a part of the record is too quiet, I can make it louder. If it's too loud, I can make it softer. For instance, in interviews, my guests and I might talk at different volumes. With Adobe Audition CS5, I can even out these levels, so listeners don't need to change their volume all the time.
Integration with Adobe Premiere
The integration between Audition CS5 and Premiere has made my work much easier. In older versions, I had to split my audio in Premiere, and then mix and edit it in Audition separately. It took a lot of time and effort. Now, I can move my audio files between the two programs easily, making it simple to sync audio with my videos without any trouble.
Lack of control surface support
It is a bit frustrating that Adobe Audition CS5 doesn't work with control surfaces. As a podcaster, I often need to adjust audio levels fast, and not having faders and jog wheels makes my work harder. For instance, when I want to smoothly bring in music at the start, I have to adjust the levels by hand instead of using a control surface for more precise adjustments.
No Redbook CD burning
Unfortunately, this music mixing software can't burn Redbook CDs. Sometimes I make audio CDs for my photography lessons. Not being able to burn Redbook CDs directly means I have to do an extra step. When I want to make a CD of a podcast for someone, I have to export the audio and then use another program to burn the CD.
