Buy once instead of Adobe Audition
4 apps in the directory cover what people use Adobe Audition for. Each one is a one-time purchase.
Adobe Audition costs about $276 a year. At that rate Fission, the cheapest dollar-priced replacement at $35, pays for itself in 2 months.
Read the catch on each one before you switch — a one-time price is not automatically the better deal, and we say so where it is not.
The replacements
Fission
trim, split and convert audio files without re-encoding them
$35 This version
Major versions are a separate $15 purchase, though new ones come along rarely
REAPER
a tiny, DRM-free DAW for $60, with updates through version 8.99
$60 This version
The $60 tier stops at $20,000 yearly gross revenue; past that the licence is $225
Audio Hijack
record and route any audio on your Mac, one licence per person
$69 This version
Major versions are a separate purchase — the jump from 3 to 4 cost $29
Logic Pro
full pro DAW with a very large bundled sound library
$199.99 Perpetual
Mac only, and Logic Pro for iPad is subscription-only rather than part of this purchase
