I don't really compare it to Audition or Cool Edit, though. Those
two programs are really single audio file editors with some
clunky multi- track features bolted on.

Audition is the continuation of Cool Edit _Pro_ after its
acquisition by Adobe, and it was/is a multi-track recorder. I've
used it with various multi-input cards (up to 32 simultaneous
tracks) for decades.


Yes, I know and I said as much. But Audition's multi-track features
seem to me to be extremely clunky and hard to work with, at least in
versions 1.2 through 3. Maybe later versions are easier. Maybe it just
doesn't fit in with the way I think and work.

Cool Edit was a single-file editor only, no multi-track features.
