This program is used at a radio station I work at. There are a couple of bugs with the program at the station. I believe it is due to the processing speed and the use of it as a unit for the audio "cart" machine. We do 95% of the imaging production on the station using cool edit pro. So, obviously we trust the audio quality. Besides, we are using the audio on the air--it's always processors that help while running it through a board. I work with protools at another station I work for. The easiness off the scrub function on protools is uncanny but I love the noise generator for effects as compared to protools use of effects. I have not used the cool edit for live sound--as in, recording bands. So, I can't answer that one. Mixer (cheap Realistic at home), at work is a special Telus board that is completely digital input/output. Amazing beta board that is for sure. At work with protools I am using a Wheaton that's old 1985--not too old but its been used for an on-air radio and currently a production board. Adjusting the eq's to match your output is the best way. I know a lot of people that seem to use cooledit as a straight recording and then doing effects. One must clean the sound using noise reduction and eq-ing to get the real clean sound a protools program will create with little noise reduction when recorded right going into (following levels, presence, etc.).

Using noise, tones, and DTMF signal generator. Creating the really cools sounds. I am up to 150 sweeps and stingers that are home made. I wish there was a specific sound input/output card connetor that would have you place it into your comp case and would have xlr (L+R input stereo) and rca (L+R input stereo) and for those with minidisc recorders 1 x 1/8" stereo plug input. For output, have a 20 watt pre-amp out. With external speakers. Package the thing for $350.00 (including the cooledit program). Would be a kill in sales.

none. box with disc. basic computer program marketing i would suppose.

very good in price. protools is outrageously expensive.

never talked to anyone.
