Adobe Audition audio-production software lets you create and edit tracks for use in sound and video projects, from podcasts to home movies. The "Effects" feature in Adobe Audition offers a selection of sound manipulation tools. The suite of effects is limited when you first install the program but you can add third-party VST plugins to extend this functionality. Install the Auto-Tune plugin to add the "T-Pain effect" to your audio vocals.
