Feature Request: Workflow & Customization Improvements for Adobe Audition
Hello Adobe Audition Team,
On behalf of professional audio editors across post-production, broadcasting, animation, music, and podcasting, we request several key features that would make Adobe Audition more competitive and efficient for large-scale audio work.
Audition is already a reliable DAW for editing, mixing, and restoration, but there are modern workflow tools present in other professional audio software that would significantly speed up production and organization for thousands of users.
Requested Features
Bins / Folder Structure in Files Panel
Create and manage folders (bins) in the Files panel to organize assets like Voice, SFX, Music.
Drag-and-drop between bins, search inside bins, and filter by tags.
Track Folders with FX Inheritance
Collapsible folder tracks to group related tracks (e.g., all character voices, or all ambient SFX).
Apply effects, automation, or routing at the folder level that affect all child tracks.
Per-Clip / Per-Item Effects
Apply effects directly to individual clips without affecting the entire track.
Non-destructive and editable at any time.
Advanced Delete Silence Tool
Adjustable padding, RMS/LUFS-based detection, and the option to process multiple clips or tracks at once.
Ability to visually preview silence detection before applying.
Ripple Editing Enhancements
Ripple edit across multiple selected tracks in the Multitrack Editor.
Option to lock track sync groups so edits shift all related audio in sync.
Custom Actions / Macros
Ability to record or build multi-step actions (macros) and apply them instantly.
Include auto-apply effects chains to tracks in the Multitrack Editor as part of these actions.
Render Queue & Batch Export
Queue multiple mixes or stems to export overnight.
Save batch export presets for different delivery formats.
Enhanced Bus & Mixer Features
Reorder buses, hide/show specific buses in the mixer, and assign colors/icons.
Multi-bus sends and pre/post-fader send options.
Direct Video Export from Audition
Export video formats directly from Audition (like Premiere Pro) without needing Adobe Media Encoder.
Saves memory and time, especially for quick review renders or short-form content.
User Scripting & Customization
Support for user scripts to automate repetitive tasks.
More customizable interface layouts to match different workflows (e.g., VO editing, multitrack mixing, restoration).
Why This Matters:
For professionals handling complex, multi-hour sessions — such as episodic animation, long-form interviews, and film post-production — these features would drastically improve editing speed, maintain cleaner projects, and reduce repetitive manual work.
Many of these improvements already exist in other professional creative software — adding them to Audition would ensure it remains the preferred choice for editors who want both Adobe’s ecosystem and modern audio editing power.
Thank you for considering these requests on behalf of the wider audio editing community. These features would make a meaningful difference to the daily workflow of thousands of professionals worldwide.
Sincerely,
Santosh Mareddy
The Professional Audio Editing Community
