All of the years I have been an editor and voiceover talent, I have never used Adobe Audition. I think that there are better alternatives without paying a monthly subscription or being held hostage by a company on their unreasonable terms. Adobe's terms of service are a nightmare to escape and I went the route of using Cubase. Lots of others use Audacity which is similar or Protools, Reaper or Luna. What do you use and why? What are the benefits for editing your audio? I wrote about this in my latest blog. Check it out.

"I Am Somebody."

More than a slogan, these words became a lifeline for a generation. In this 2.5-minute tribute, we honor the monumental legacy of Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson Sr.—the bridge-builder, the political pioneer, and the unrelenting conscience of a nation.

From the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement alongside Dr. King to the historic Rainbow Coalition and his groundbreaking runs for the Presidency, Jesse Jackson didn't just demand a seat at the table—he built a new one for the "disinherited" and the "disregarded."

Join us as we reflect on over six decades of activism, diplomacy, and the rhythmic fire of a man who taught the world to "Keep Hope Alive."
