Adobe Audition is the same as Cool Edit Pro. Syntrillium got bought up by Adobe, thus the name change 
Personally, I think it's up to your own preference. If I had the money I'd go for a Pro Tools system. Those cost a lot of money though, so I use CEP 2.1 instead atm. There is a free version of Pro Tools available, but it has limited capabilities and only works in win98... |

I use Cool Edit Pro 2.0, and I'm happy with it. If you are, too, just keep using it. If you use programs you understand, and you like to use, you will make your music at it's best. |

You don't; CoolEdit is a multitrack sequencer/recorder itself, and can't be controlled by your external mixer. There is an external device for Cooledit to control it (some red device of which I forgot the name because its options suck (never tried it though, but I'm not that much of a CEP user anyway)), but a normal mixer board cannot be assigned to CEP.

CEP2 is really nice, though I think it's a bit too uncomfortable to use realtime effects with when mixing. Cubase SX and Logic makes much better job with this.

Change the question: *Why* do you want to use a mixing board? Do you need it? Can't that task be done by software alone? What's the advantage of using the mixing board over software?
Don't limit yourself to thinking like "I have a mixing board and I want to integrate it with software". Think "I want to perform a specific task, and I need to find out which tools I need to fulfill that task".
Kind regards,

Pro tools, http://www.digidesign.com/ offers possibly the best in terms of recording and editing sound. It fully supports external mixers. Check out the site! |

Being the best is good. But im looking for something that has alot of things i can do, but is relatively simple. (ie. cool edit pro) Also, it seems to me by reading about there software it is made specifically for the hardware that they sell. Maybe this is not the case, but what are my other options? |

Can anyone tell me what i should do? Price effective mind you, i dont mind if im just recording from the mixing board and not using its other channels, but just running it into the mixer and not straight to my computer.. But if there are better ways i wouldnt mind doing that. Let me know as i will have all my equipment in a week. Thanks! |

well, this kind of depends on what kind of soundcard you have, and what kind of mixer you'll get. Of course, with any soundcard you could just hook up two channels from the mixer to the line ins, and two channels to the line outs of the soundcard. Then you could use the rest of the channels you have on the mixer for external inputs like mic's, synths, electric guitars or whatever, send them to the two channels that are connected to the computer and that way get them into the computer without having to swap cables and such all the time. That way you could also use the line outs to send the audio to the master outputs of your mixer, and that way to an amp and speakers. Or just send the two channels from the computer to the mixer, and from there to some external hardware (eq, delay, reverb...) and then back into the computer.
One point though. Unless you plan to record multiple instruments at the same time (like record a drumset, where you can easily come up to 10 channels), then you don't really need more than two inputs. There is little to no use in sending the information from the computer to a mixer just to fiddle with the eq's, unless you are able to send all channels of your song to the mixer and back, and unless you have good cables (balanced cables all the way) and a good ADAC, because you'll otherwise just pic up noise and stuff when you do the A-D-A convertions and send the signal with analog cables to the mixer and so on.
my current thoughts on the matter, hope they helped  |
