Designed as a complete audio environment, Cool Edit Pro puts into one package all the functionality you need to take an audio project from concept to completion. You can use Punch In and record multiple takes to get each track just right, and Cool Edit Pro's support for multiple sound cards gives you complete freedom in routing your audio. Once you’ve recorded your tracks (up to 64 tracks!), you can apply Cool Edit Pro’s unmatched DSP and editing power to tweak individual tracks and add the effects you need. When you’re ready to mix, snap-to guides, crossfades, and separate level, pan, mute, and solo controls for each track will help you get it done.
While Cool Edit Pro provides an all-in-one audio solution, it also works with the rest of your audio tools as part of your studio. Support for Microsoft’s DirectX/ActiveMovie protocol means you can use DSP modules from leading manufacturers like Waves and QTools from within Cool Edit Pro. If your needs go beyond digital audio to include working with MIDI or video, you will find Cool Edit Pro’s MIDI/SMPTE synchronization provides seamless integration with these media.
Though Cool Edit Pro is loaded with features, it doesn't encumber you with excess windows. You can get at just the features you want, and you don't need a 20-inch monitor and four hands to get the job done, because Cool Edit Pro's flexible but uncluttered interface offers a wide variety of controls (like right-click support for almost any object) that keep the main screen clean and efficient. You will find this under-the-hood architecture throughout Cool Edit Pro.
Above all, Cool Edit Pro is fun! Once you've fired it up and played with it for a while, you'll see how it got its name.
