We've been doing this the hard way for years. It doesn't take as long as you'd think - it's not that the process is difficult, it's that it's offensive - "if you need that line, go record that guy saying that line, ass." "But we don't have tyyyyyyymmmmmeeeeeeUHHHHHH!" "I will literally take an iPhone recording." "Why are you being so difffffffficulllllllllltUHHHHHHHH!*" I think it's indicative of Adobe that they're simplifying a process that nobody needs rather than, oh, coming out with an audio editor that doesn't suck.

Because the people that need this are Youtubers that didn't get that tedious c-grade celebrity saying that thing they needed for that tedious Youtube video and they don't have the skills to edit around their failure.

Real toys with a real function that accomplishes real task has been available for a decade.
