Audio editing can be overwhelming at times especially if we don’t know where to start. We are bringing a series of videos with Mike Russell where he will reveal the world of audio editing using Adobe Audition. These videos will help you bring stories to life with sound.

Thank you so much for the introduction here Sumeet!

I'm really delighted to present this series on audio editing and looking forward to seeing the questions you have. Audio is so much fun and I'm really excited to see how you're all using Adobe Audition to edit.

Ask away with anything that you need help with 😀

[Henrik Heigl]

Thanks for that Series. I like those videos pretty much!
Also I hope that there will be more of this and how to make small projects like how to interview someone, delete noise or enhance bad recordings, make a Podcast Intro and an outro and then at the end put those snippets together.
