My vote would be for FastEdit. But, I, too, mourn the loss of
CoolEdit ---
the two-track version. However, CooleEdit Pro 1.xx runs just fine on my
ancient IBM Thinkpad with 333 Mhz processor and 256 Mb ram. I'm sure it
would choke when mixing a bunch of tracks, but I've not encountered that
in
my work, which rarely uses more than five or six tracks.

Thing is, if you stay in the edit window of CoolEdit Pro/Audition, you're
essentially using CoolEdit 2000, an eminently simple and useful program. One
or two keyboard shortcuts are missing, but otherwise, you need
record-and-save capability, you got it.

Peace,
Paul
