Adobe Audition
Adobe Audition is part of the Adobe Creative Suite tools which most NY6 campuses license. Watch the video below for a very quick overview.
Ensemble Anthem

While the video below demonstrates Anthem primarily for video capture, nearly the same instructions apply when one selects Voice from the Anthem Record menu quadrant. The only difference is to select the mic only for audio recording and not Screen & Webcam.
