| Version: Cool Edit Pro 2.1 | Reviewer: Chainsaw
Date: 06 Sep 2008, 09:47 UTC Overall rating:      | GUI:     Features:     Ease of use:     Value:     

The best single general-purpose wave editor. An okay multitracker - great for its time. Other programs may occasionally do specific tasks better, but this does everything well, intuitively, and great sounding. Worth it for the noise reduction feature alone, once you learn to use it well.
Easy navigation, from sixty-minute files to individual samples. A wide range of good built-in effects, a convolution reverb, noise reduction, lots of import options (including flac and ogg with third party plugins), lots of export/save options, batch processing, directX plugins...
Anything more powerful, in most cases, takes a lot more computer power. CoolEdit works perfectly well on 2000 hardware as well as 2008 hardware. Slower effect processing, fewer tracks and less automation, but a PIII is enough machine for CEP2.1 to be useable.
If you can find SpinAudio's once-free VST-DX Wrapper 1.0, it is a marvelous addition. There may be other VST-DX adapters that work.
There is a version that runs from USB stick, called "Portable Cool Edit Pro 2.1", involving something called Thinstall, but it spreads Mr. Hardmeier's fame to the app data folder of any machine you plug it into. All good fun until someone loses an eye. |
