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

Which is why I differentiated between them by underlining "Pro".


That's not the difference between 'pro' and 'not'. It's just different
things, like a truck and a van.

Cool Edit most definitely did have a multitrack feature.

The version (Cool Edit 96) I had and which is still lurking on a CD
somewhere, could record and process stereo.

The upgrade to Cool Edit Pro gave the opportunity to record and edit
multiple stereo tracks, but effects could only be applied in the stereo
"edit" window, not the multitrack one, which was limited to automating
levels and balance.

I was thinking about CEP. The effects limitation was never a problem
for me since I brought all tracks back throug an analog console and
did all processing & there. I still work that way most of the time.
You _can_ apply EQ, compression, reverb and all of the other effects in
the multi-track window of CEP and Audition, but they're applied to
individual tracks instead of as a master control. I prefer that way of
working anyway, and only make master-level changes to the final mix
and/or mastering of the project.
