Cool Edit Pro 2.0

Someone gave you the software. Thats your first mistake. your secound mistake is that this is a Sonar/cakewalk forum. If you have no experience with a sequencing software, i suggest you better start reading the manual. Its not an instal and lets start editing type of program. Ask your friend who gave it to you , to give you the manual.

Find the beginning of one of the startpoints, click and drag to the end of one of the end points ( it should be highlighted where you dragged) right click and click "save to new".

You could also just "Cut" and then "Paste To New". Cool Edit was the best wave editor ever. It's a shame Cakewalk didn't buy it. If there's one thing they're in need of it's a good editor.

There is also the fact that it's never as simple as just buying a piece of software and slapping it into your own product. It is often brutal to integrate another piece of completely separately developed software into another product and even after all that work you often end up with a fragile, hacked up piece of doo that will never be really fully integrated at the code level. It would often be not much harder, and you can often end with a far better product, if you just roll your own.

Yeah, this is a bit of a different situation. First, we should differenciate between Cool Edit Pro and Cool Edit 2000. Pro was a multitrack recording app that had a built-in wave editor. It ran around $300 when Syntrillium had I think. Cool Edit 2000 was just the wave editor by itself and could be had for well under a hundred bucks. When Dave Johnston sold the company to Adobe, he only sold the Pro version. He still owns CE 2000. However, as part of the deal, he not only sold CE Pro to Adobe, but took a job with the company as chief engineer for the very product he sold them. So even though it's now called Adobe Audition, it's still developed by the same guy who owned it all the years it was CE Pro.

Now, even though he still owns CE 2000, Adobe would frown on his selling it to people because they would see it as competing with them. So CE 2000 is in Limbo. It's not owned by Adobe, but it's also not being sold by Dave (his former company--Syntrillium--is out of business since he took the new job).

If you owned CE 2000 and then bought GT Pro 2.0 or earlier version of GT, CE 2000 would automatically show up in the tools section. So if you wanted to edit a track in GT Pro, you just had to highlight it, click tools/CE 2000, and it would automatically launch CE 2000 and your track would be in the main window ready to edit. When you were done you simply clicked saved and exited CE 2000. Then GT Pro would ask if you wanted to keep the changes you made to the track. Just click yes or no, and that was it. So CE 2000 was sort of integrated into GT Pro at one time and it worked great. Why Cakewalk didn't buy CE 2000 (not talking about CE Pro) is beyond me. It was a great 1+2 punch and would have worked equally well in Sonar.
