Benefits of paid editing tools

While free programs are great to perform the above functions, if you require additional functionality, you may want to consider investing in a paid program such as Adobe Audition. For example, Audition’s audio repair tools offer many more advanced tools.  Additionally, these advanced features allow you to make edits quickly. That said, depending on your editing needs, you may not need all of the features available in paid programs that include Adobe Audition.

Overall, while you can complete edits within free editing programs, if you require more advanced editing features, you may want to consider investing in a more expensive audio editing program.
