SYNTRILLIUM SOFTWARE COOL EDIT PRO
If you fancy recording up to 64 audio tracks from the comfort of a familiar PC wave editor interface, Syntrillium Software's feature-packed Cool Edit Pro could be just the ticket. MARTIN WALKER warms to the latest release of this popular package.

For a long time Syntrillium Software were the darlings of the PC shareware audio scene, gaining an excellent reputation with their Cool Edit WAV file editor in its various incarnations. We reviewed Cool Edit 96 in our July 97 issue, and at this stage it was a comprehensive program that offered not only the standard features expected of a modern digital audio editor, but also more experimental aspects such as 'brainwave frequency encoding'. As the software grew ever more sophisticated, it seemed inevitable that Syntrillium would eventually move from a shareware approach (ie. software that is initially free, but requires a registration fee for continued use) to a more traditional retailing method. This is exactly what has happened with the latest incarnation, Cool Edit Pro, which is distributed in the UK by PC specialists Et Cetera. Mind you, although the distribution channel may now be more traditional, the latest software packs in yet another batch of innovative extras.
