Got an Olympus VN-2100PC and it's ok in good conditions but struggles with
hiss and background noise.

Is there the ubiquitous nice bit of freeware that will suck it in and spit
it out as if it was recorded in an eggbox lined room?

I am a licensed user of Cool Edit 2000 and have been for many years. When I
purchased it originally the license was about $20. Cool Edit 2000 worked
perfectly under Windows XP and is definitely the best audio editor I have
used - and I have tried most of them!

When I upgraded to Vista I had problems with Cool Edit 2000. Now some time
has passed, and Vista has had many updates, Cool Edit 2000 works acceptably
well - although there are still a few display artifacts etc.

In 2003 Syntrillium, the publisher of Cool Edit, was acquired by Adobe.
Adobe then eventually marketed a modified version of Cool Edit Pro as Audio
Audition. I tried Adobe Audition and hated it! It was bloated and extremely
unfriendly. The elegance of the original Cool Edit 2000 had been totally
lost.

I did not know the original version of Cool Edit Pro (the multichannel
version of Cool Edit 2000) was still available until I saw Grahams post. I
have downloaded the trial version from the link above and it seems to work,
and seems to have the look and feel of the original. I would very much like
to get hold of the ORIGINAL Cool Edit Pro (because it appears to be more
compatible with Vista than Cool Edit 2000) but when the 'Buy Now' is clicked
you are routed to the Adobe website and invited to buy Adobe Audition... -
and the price it $299 !!!!

Do you have any idea how I can get the original Cool Edit Pro for a sensible
price. I don't want anything to do with Adobe!!!

I agree totally , I've used it for many years, under win98, win 2000 and now
winXP, and it's always worked perfectly, which is more than can be said for
most software I've used!

When I upgraded to Vista I had problems with Cool Edit 2000.

Sounds like yet another reason NOT to use Vista! Microsoft will have to drag
me kicking and screaming before I'll touch it.

I WAS dragged kicking and screaming into Vista because I wanted to use
Windows Media Center with a Media Center Extender - and WMC is only
available in Vista.

My computer is configured with dual boot XP/Vista and for several months I
primarily used XP - and only used Vista when necessary. Now I must confess I
have got used to Vista and use it all the time, only reverting to XP when
really necessary (increasingly rare!). I have disabled annoyances like UAC
(User Access Control) and the infantile arty-farty desktop graphics and now
find that, after all the Vista updates and SP1, all my applications work
fine. Even Cool Edit 2000 is acceptable if allowances are made for small
display inaccuracies.

I now find that Vista is more stable than XP (I have never seen a blue
screen!), more secure, and in some ways easier to use than XP.

If you have the time and patience give Vista a try. You might end up
preferring it!

I was just about to Freecycle a USB DAC someone in a recording studio
gave me about 10 years ago - it had only ever worked under win98, and
then not very well IIRC. For some bizarre reason it was correctly
identified, down to name and model, and automatically installed drivers
under Vista. Seems to work perfectly.

Just plugged it into my Mac and again, picked up perfectly. Opcode
Sonicport.

I've only the once seen the BSOD under WIN 200 Pro and that was due to a
Maxtor hard drive failure.

The wife uses a laptop with Vista If I had to use that poxy program for
more then Ten minutes I'd chuck it out the window!..

Don't work for 'em perchance;?..
