This is a very good DAW for podcast production for so many reasons. In fact it’s the only DAW I know that was created specifically for radio and podcast production.

Perhaps i’ll try it. A British Sound app has to be worth a try.
I use Audition mainly because I have an Adobe CC subscription anyway. Therefore Audition is ‘free’. However, Free isn’t always best.
Has anyone done a comparison between Hindenburg and Audition?
It’s not actually British, though if my memory is right, Nick (the founder) did work for BBC radio for a while. But that’s just from memory.
I haven’t used Adobe Audition, so I can’t do a side-by-side. The analysis I did before I went down the Hindenburg path was: Hindenburg Journalist Pro – $375 (USD) and Audition = $20 per month ($480). Based on that, I determined that HJP would pay for itself in less than 2 years.
To be sure, Hindenburg doesn’t have some of the features of Audition: true spectral view, auto-heal, etc. But it (HJ Pro) does have noise reduction, a voice profiler (like an EQ / compression preset that tries to match a reference setting rather than just applying the same +/- adjustments), a single knob compressor, a parametric EQ, auto-level on import, a loudness meter that measures in LUFS, auto-level / auto-normalize to loudness standards on export, ability to work with WAV, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, Broadcast WAV, and more, ability to import/export ProTools sessions, and integration to publish with Libsyn, Blubrry, and other major platforms. And that’s just what I can remember.
Oh, wow! Thanks for the shout-out, Chris!
