Audacity como alternativa Linux a Adobe Audition
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Audacity is a solid, free replacement for basic to intermediate audio tasks, but it is not a direct equivalent to Adobe Audition for professional workflows. It handles recording, cutting, and basic restoration well. However, it lacks a true non-destructive multitrack mixer with complex routing and automation. If you need deep mixing, VST plugin support, or advanced restoration, Audacity will feel limiting. It is best for podcasters, streamers, or hobbyists who need to clean up audio and export files, not for engineers requiring a full DAW environment.

Abrir tus archivos de Adobe Audition
Audacity does not natively open Adobe Audition session files (.sesx). You must export your project from Audition as a multitrack WAV or individual stems. Audacity can then import these audio files to continue editing. It supports standard audio formats like WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, and OGG Vorbis, so audio data transfers easily, but project metadata, automation, and plugin settings will not carry over.
Pasar de Adobe Audition a Audacity, paso a paso
- Export your Adobe Audition project as multitrack WAV files or individual stems.
- Install Audacity via your package manager or Flathub.
- Import the exported audio tracks into a new Audacity project.
- Re-apply effects and adjustments manually, as automation is not preserved.
- Save the project as an Audacity .aup3 file for future editing.
- Export final mixes in your desired format (WAV, MP3, etc.).

Does Audacity support VST plugins?
No, Audacity does not support VST plugins. It uses LV2, LADSPA, and Vamp plugins instead. You will need to find Linux-compatible alternatives for any VST effects you used in Audition.
Can I open an Adobe Audition session file directly?
No. You must export the audio from Audition as WAV or AIFF files and then import those into Audacity. The project structure and automation will not transfer.
Is Audacity suitable for professional music production?
It is suitable for simple mixing and editing, but for complex music production with many tracks, automation, and plugin chains, a dedicated DAW like Ardour or LMMS is a better fit.
