Ask any music forum what software to use for recording music, and someone will definitely advise you on Adobe Audition. For all its popularity, Audition is not a digital workstation, but just an audio editor.
A rich selection of built-in effects and functions is primarily aimed at recording and processing voice, although any audio signal can be recorded using Audition. The editor is easy to learn and use, and supports all existing audio file formats.
Despite this, the program lacks functionality: Audition cannot work with VST instruments (only with effects), and does not have MIDI support – you can forget about Piano Roll, virtual synthesizers, and so on. If the studio work will consist only in recording audio (live instruments), then Audition will become an indispensable assistant, but if you want versatility from your studio, then choose something else.
