Nice app. I like this description from their site:

"In a world where software manufacturers race to fill your screen with
hundreds "features" that you will never use, Fast Edit is a refreshing
break from the norm....gives you the features you really need, in an
uncluttered, straight-forward layout. (Fast Edit) is so intuitive that
a novice can learn it quickly, yet so powerful that it can meet the
needs of a professional. If you're looking to get real work done fast,
(Fast Edit) is for you."

Looks very much like a Windows-only version of PEAK in alot of ways.
Another great 2-tk. editor. Now if they'd only offer it with the
EXACT same controls/interface and EIGHT tracks ... :-).

On the other hand, if you're spending hours editing, maybe Fast
EdDIT would be faster than what you have now. It works with the
source-destination paradigm, kind of like cutting pieces of tape that
you want and sticking them together where you want them. I find it far
more intuitive and I get lost less than a "linear" editor where you
cut and paste in the same linear graphic representation of both the
source and the final product. http://www.minnetonkasoftware.com if
you're interested in a too-limited demo version that will at least
give you an idea of how it works.

Fast Eddie, Fast Edit's earlier name, was my first editing software. I
loved it. I tried Sound Forge 3.0, but did not stick with it long enough to
get fast. It particularly irked me to sit staring at the screen intermiably
while my PC-AT churned out the on-screen wave-form depiction each time you
loaded a file. I moved to Cool Edit Pro, when I needed multi-track for
layering up effects and music on radio-documentary-like programs I began
doing. It is possible that Fast Edit might be faster for the initial
'assembly' of the interviews I work with. I'm now learning Vegas 4.0 for
some ancillary video work. (I still use a real editor person for most
video.) Vegas can have several versions of itself running simultaneously.
That could resemble the Fast Edit work style. We'll see. Thanks, for the
suggestion. I hadn't thought about FE for a long time.
