DSP Effects
Whether you're a guitarist looking to add some echo and distortion to a solo track, or maybe you've got a vocal that requires a really great sounding hall; or perhaps you're mastering your first CD and you really need to make it sound like all the 'pro' CDs in your collection, you'll find everything you need for whatever stage of recording you're in -- from basic tracking, to mixing, mastering and post-production, Cool Edit Pro's more than 45 effects will bring new life to your dry tracks with a depth and clarity previously obtainable in only the best studios around the world... and now, it's all in your PC!

Amplitude Effects
Here's where you'll find all the necessary tools to prep your files for CD, the Web and even multimedia presentations! Dynamics processing, master limiting, level normalizing and stereo expansion effects are all at your fingertips, with intuitive controls and great help menus.

Delay Effects
Clearly, some of the best and most versatile sounding effects you've ever heard. Whether you're looking to 'place' your tracks in a large hall, or maybe add some tape-like echo, you're creations are only limited to your imagination. The sound and control will amaze you!

Filters
It simply doesn't get any more professional than this. With a complete array of every type of filter you can think of, you'll be turning your home recordings into competitive commercial masters. 5-band fully parametric EQ, 30-band graphic EQ and more are all included, even Scientific filters for critical listening applications.

Noise Reduction
Got noise? Got hiss? Hum Crackles and Pop If you do, then look no further, as you'll find all the clean up tools you need to restore your precious vinyl to it's pristine state, remove hiss and background noise from analog recordings, and more! And hey, if you've got some wave files with clipped sections, don't worry! You'll also find a digital Clip Restorer!

Special
Here's where you'll find those 'other' effects for that specific situation. If you're into sound experimentation, use the Brainwave Synchronizer to create a meditative sound collage. How about distortion on a guitar track? Maybe make a spoken passage sing! And let's not forget Convolution.

Time/Pitch
Great for radio and broadcast applications, three powerful effects are included here that will let you do drastic modifications, or subtle changes in tempo or pitch, or both! With variable degrees of process precision (for different sonic effects) you can seemlessly modify a song's tempo, or make your 'thin voice' sound like a true announcer! read less
