I am not a professional when it comes to mastering but I do my best. I have been using Sound Forge and L3 for a while and just tried Adobe Audition with its mastering module. It has an exciter, maximizer, etc. I don't know if its just me (that's why I'm posting) but the quality I am getting out of Adobe Audition vs Waves L3 is amazing. Mar 10, 2013 Great article, Larry, I love Audition’s Multiband Compressor, it’s very impressive. One thing that really hindered my understanding of compressors back when I was first using them (STP’s was my first introduction) was that a compressor doesn’t raise the softer parts of your audio; by its nature, a compressor compresses the dynamic range only.
Fonte: note – in order to get the most out of this tool, you really need to learn and understand the basics of dynamics compression and how each setting will affect the source audio. More importantly, when someone simply suggests the use of a preset, take it with a grain of salt. More than likely this person lacks a full understanding of the tool, and may not be capable of providing clear instructional guidance for all functions. It’s a bad mix – especially when charging novices big bucks for training.

Posted on byI’m changing my opinions on which audio tools to use for controlling audio levels.NOTE: While this article was written for Adobe Audition, this same filter also appears in Premiere Pro CC. The use and operation are the same, though I would apply the filter using the track mixer, rather than a adding it to a specific clip.A BIT OF HISTORYIn the past, I’ve been a strong advocate for using the Limiter filter. Whether in Soundtrack Pro or Audition, the Limiter filter allows us to increase the gain of the softer passages in a clip, while guaranteeing that the louder passages don’t exceed the level that we specify.You can read more about the Limiter filter in.
Great article, Larry, I love Audition’s Multiband Compressor, it’s very impressive.One thing that really hindered my understanding of compressors back when I was first using them (STP’s was my first introduction) was that a compressor doesn’t raise the softer parts of your audio; by its nature, a compressor compresses the dynamic range only. It was the auto gain that was turned on by default that was raising the levels back up. So it took me way longer to understand how a compressor truly worked because any settings I was changing were being met with gain changes as well. Audition’s gain stays at zero which allows you to truly understand what frequencies you’re affecting and how bringing down the channel sliders reduces the dynamic range of just those frequencies. THEN I go an add gain to boost the whole thing up.
