Choosing a Sound Designing App

Choosing a sound designing app

 One of the main parts of sound designing is to figure out what designing apps and tools I should use. The most ideal thing to do is to use the same software that my cinematographer/editor is using for editing, that way we can keep everything on one app; but it does not hurt to explore other programs to see what I am most comfortable with. Here are my options.


Adobe Premiere Rush-  This is one of my best options because it is the same software that my cinematographer/editor is using. Because it is Premiere rush, it is far easier to navigate than Premiere Pro, which does offer more but requires more knowledge to work. The only downside of using Rush is that it is not downloaded on my school laptop, therefore it would be hard work on the software on multiple devices, unless I bring my personal device. The app is also not audio specific so I don't know how effective it would be to be detailed.


Adobe Audition- Keeping it on adobe, it is a powerful audio editing software ideal for professional audio restoration. I could accomplish cleaning up sound, precise editing, and mastering audio for my film. After quick research I found that Audition includes advanced features like spectral editing, multitrack recording, and a comprehensive set of effects, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced audio editors looking for high-quality results.

DaVinci Resolve- After doing brief research, I found out that DaVinci Resolve is a free software that works fairly similar to Premiere Rush. It is extremely beginner friendly and easy to master after watching a few you tube tutorial videos. So far I have gained plenty of recommendations to choose Resolve over Adobe premiere.

After consideration, I am leaning towards using Adobe Audition. First I must find out if I can download Adobe Audition on my personal device so that I can work on sound designing outside of class.
