Adobe explains:
Audition now runs natively on Apple M1 systems, delivering improved performance for recording and mixing high-quality audio content such as podcasts, broadcast, sound design, audio restoration and more.

There are, however, some limitations to running Adobe Audition on M1 Macs. The company explains that Audition on M1 does not currently support EUCON control surfaces or CEP extension panels. Additionally, CD burning is not available, and not all video codecs are supported.
Audition also adds a new Strip Silence feature for the first time, similar to Apple's Logic Pro app.
Strip Silence is a highly requested new feature that allows users to identify and remove silent or inactive areas in recorded clips, without losing sync in multitrack audio. Use this feature to clean up voiceovers, interviews, and preparing multi-track edits, such as podcasts or documentary audio content.
Strip Silence parameters can be adjusted for unique scenarios, such as noisy backgrounds or different volume levels between participants, to easily identify and remove areas in the track that have no content, saving editors time.
Other announcements made by Adobe today include a new Loudness Meter in Audition and Premiere Pro, modern text gradients in Premiere Pro and label colors for captions, and improved caption trimming in Premiere Pro.
