no use in using-its been discntinued by the new owners Adobe-now its pro version is called Audition and is $100
I would guess that would be a very GOOD reason to use a product, since it has been discontinued. Just because a product is discontinued does not make the software title useless, and not worth using. Lots of people on this forum ask for Wordperfect for DOS, thats discontinued.
If you are saying this because there will no longer be tech support. i dont base using a product on tech support since i have never had to ask for tech support for an application. Programs are not too dificult to figure out. Cool Edit is not hard to use at all. if you can not figure it out, then don't use it and use something else.

But your comment goes against the whole idea of this site. Which is to find old software no longer supported by the creators. Cool Edit is a perfect example of a title no longer even under the same author, which was sole creator named David "something", then he created Syntrillium then he sold it to Adobe or was bought out or whatever. I guess Adobe fills the pressure of needing a good audio app to add to its collection now. Thats ok if they will no longer keep it under development since there is always Two Tone's - "Cakewalk", or the Free "Audacity" or Sonic Foundry's - "Sound Forge" or Digidesign's - "Pro Tools", the no longer developed "SAW PRO" and alot more titles.
