Default Syntrillium Cool Edit 2000 - support?

A few months ago - in July - I purchased Cool Edit 2000 from Syntrillium
Software.
BIG MISTAKE!

I used it one time, along with Feurio CD Manager, to do post-production work
on a studio recorded master. It took a bit of time but I was successful. Now
I am attempting to use it again, but it appears defective, unable to import
files from Feurio.

Seeking support on the linked website, I'm told that Adobe Systems purchased
the "technology assets" of Syntrillium last May (before I bought the
software), has discontinued Cool Edit 2000, and does not support it. They do
however sell an upgrade for $99, or their new Adobe Audition for $299!

This is a ripoff. I paid for this software just a few months ago. I should
be entitled to either tech support or at least a partial refund for its
becoming defective so soon.

Any suggestions?

Pay the $99 for the upgrade. That gives you full-tilt Adobe Audition for
less than $200 out-of-pocket, a deal and a half.

Have you tried getting your money back from the place you bought it?

I agree - this is crap. Adobe should support the existing Syntrillium
customers. I will remember this.

**Yeah, like that'll bother them. I dropped 600 Bucks on a (reasonably) high
end video card, a few years ago. The company never released decent drivers
for the damned card. I swore that I would never buy a Diamond product ever
again. Like that worried them. I gave up and bought an 80 Dollar card which
performed better, around 18 months later.

I really don't care if it bothers them or not. That is not my concern. My
concern is that I buy products, and influence my company to buy products,
from sources that honor their agreements. Otherwise you may very well
be throwing money away, as Howard did.

I have no suggestions for getting a better response from Adobe and can't
help you with your problem of "importing Feurio files" because I don't know
what a "Feurio file" is. Furthermore, since it worked for you before, you
can't blame the software without first reviewing what has changed in your
environment.

I do know that Adobe doesn't offer a Cool2000 upgrade at all, so I don't
know what you're talking about there either.

The $99 upgrade to Audition is a bargain. Although it's billed as a new
name for CE pro, it actually has many improvements over the final version
of CE pro and, in my environment, I find these improvements very valuable
and welcome. As the word spreads, I expect it will leave the competition in
the dust.

OK, there are many issues raised here, and my opinions won't seem to
be congruent with others who have posted here, but bear with me....

1. CE2000 is probably the finest 2-channel audio editor that was ever
available at a reasonable price. The fact that you managed to acquire
a copy briefly before Adobe snatched it away from us is, in my view, a
positive result. Far from a big mistake. If you genuinely feel you
don't want it any more, I'm sure that if you offered it for sale you
would have hundreds of people lining up to take it off your hands for
the full price you paid. (You will, of course, have to sell it to only
one person, and remove it from your own PC).

2. The fact that CE2000 refuses to import a file created by Feurio is
surprising. What format do you expect that file to be in? In my
experience, CE2000 successfully reads a wide variety of file formats,
and even if it can't recognise the header, it will allow you to import
it "raw" by explicitly saying what the word depth, sample rate, etc
are.

3. Unless you need multi-track capability, I don't really see what the
point would be of upgrading to Adobe Audition.

4. Your point about support is a good one. Adobe have not done the
decent thing, here.

How do you know that the problem isn't Feurio's fault or a fault of your
procedures?

What sort of support are you getting from the people who support Feurio?

Since you don't *lose* capability by going with Audition, what you *gain*
is continued support for an application that is still alive. It's
completely possible to use Audition without ever seeing the multi-track
view. Sure, CE2000 is a great app. CEP / Audition is better, and the
upgrade price from Adobe is quite generous. In short, you'll get an app
that you won't be able to beat for $1,000 for under $200 total.

4. Your point about support is a good one. Adobe have not done the

I disagree completely with this. It more than likely was the deal that was
struck between Syntrillium and Adobe that short-changed the CE2000
community. As Adobe wasn't interested in CE2000, Syntrillium may have been
able to retain that app along with the utilities that also got dumped.
However, continued support and/or development may not have been possible
without the technology that went into CEP. So, they were between a rock
and a hard place. It's not about being "decent".

So, those insisting that CE2000 is/was all they ever needed have but to
retain their copies of that app. It will do everythinig it ever did into
the foreseable future.

At least in the short term. Adobe could turn around and re-release CE2000 as
"Audition Lite" or some such. They've got a track record for doing such a
thing.

As Adobe wasn't interested in CE2000, Syntrillium
may have been able to retain that app along with the utilities that
also got dumped.


The early news releases sounded to me like that might be in the offing. I
seem to recall reading words like: Buy the technology. But in the end, it
seems to me like Adobe bought Syntrillium lock, stock and barrel. The
earlier statements might have had the purpose of *helping* the negotiations.
They were no doubt true, but there are shadings of meanings...

However, continued support and/or development may
not have been possible without the technology that went into CEP. So,
they were between a rock and a hard place. It's not about being

This sort of thing is known as "A Business Decision". Sometimes an oxymoron,
nevertheless, stuff happens.

So, those insisting that CE2000 is/was all they ever needed have but
to retain their copies of that app. It will do everything it ever
did into the foreseeable future.


Yup, although the upgrade paths that used to cost like $30 and up got
coalesced into one big bite at $99.

Could you elaborate on this a bit? As a CEP 2.1 user, I've downloaded
Audition, but haven't installed it because I understand that Adobe
extracted the CD burning tool, for one.


Well, the CD burning tool was beta-test, and it is a little rough
around the edges. That all said I've swum past the rough edges and
use it routinely for mastering new work.

Same here, except that I haven't found rough edges so much as a paradigm
shift in the way that it works compared to other products. That said, its
integration into CEP is marvelous, as I can go straight from full 32-bit
mixes to CD in one step, with all my preferences for SRC applied on the
fly. I don't to want lose that capability unless compensated by some other
"must haves" that make it worth the extra effort. So far, I haven't
discovered those "improvements", hence my question.

I've got both and use both interchangeably, except of course I have to
account for the deletion of the beta CD burning tool from Audition.

So, there is no problem with having both installed simultaneously? If
that's true, I may go ahead and do so just to get familiar with it.

Regards,

Neil

The only place they interfere that I know of is that setting changes in
Audition seem to show up in CEP 2.1 and vice-versa. That's either a bug or a
feature depending on your preferences.

I've got both and use both interchangeably, except of course I have
to account for the deletion of the beta CD burning tool from
Audition.

**Yeah, like that'll bother them. I dropped 600 Bucks on a
(reasonably) high end video card, a few years ago.


Video cards are a very volatile market. Also people should note that this is
$Au, not $US. Exchange is something around 2:1.

The company never
released decent drivers for the damned card. I swore that I would
never buy a Diamond product ever again. Like that worried them. I
gave up and bought an 80 Dollar card which performed better, around
18 months later.


There is some justice.

Try finding a new model Diamond video card for sale. AFAIK, mission
impossible.

If I've got this right, Diamond changed their name to Sonic Blue and now
mostly pump MP3 players.

That's somehow strange as CEP 2.1 stores the settings in the environ-
ment of the user (at least in Windows XP) in the folder

Application Data - Syntrillium - Cooledit Pro - 2.1 - cool.ini,
coolcust.ini etc. while Audion settings are stored in

Application Data - Adobe - Audition - 1.0 - Audcust.ini etc.

Other data is stored in the Registry, but different keywords are used
there as well. The only major difference I found between the programs
is the different naming of the native board - I have to use the system
clipboard to copy data between the two.

I use both programs quite often, usually one active instance of each.
As both programms look somewhat different, it's easier for me the see
which program is active when I switch programs.

I've never missed the CD burning capabilites of CEP as I use Feurio
for that. It has lots of features to assist in layouting the CD. Otoh
I seldom use the track editor of Feurio which is rather simple.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, so that's why I've been scratching my head. Thanks
for confirming my analysis.

Agreed.

I generally use one at a time, but yes they do run side-by-side for me, too.

It's been a while since I last used Feurio. It's nice when CD interfaces are
built into the tool (e.g., Apple iTunes) - and CEP 2.1 + the beta burner did
that. I hope it's coming back.

Well... where is Diamond today? I think the answer is "nowhere".

A few months ago - in July - I purchased Cool Edit 2000 from
Syntrillium Software.
BIG MISTAKE!

I used it one time, along with Feurio CD Manager, to do
post-production work on a studio recorded master. It took a bit of
time but I was successful. Now I am attempting to use it again, but
it appears defective, unable to import files from Feurio.


How do you know that the problem isn't Feurio's fault or a fault of your
procedures?


Because I do the same things I did in the past but get no results. I cannot
prove it, but the problem appears to be with Cool Edit 2000.

What sort of support are you getting from the people who support Feurio?


Feurio is FREEware/shareware. I don't expect support for it, but unlike
CoolEdit 2000, which I paid to download (I do not have it on CD), it STILL
WORKS.
