Cool Edit for MAC??

Dj Ryme 6:45 PM - 10 October, 2005
Too bad that doesnt exist because I have been using cool edit on my pc for 4 years now and i pretty much have it mastered, but now that I own a powerbook, im looking to start doing my mixtapes on my mac, anyone have any suggestions besides pro tools on a program that has multi tracks (cool edit has 128 tracks) and lets you cut and paste just like cool edit?

i still record to my PC and use my powerbook for Gigs. i love Cool edit! best program i have ever had, its so user friendly. if they did have one for the mac id probably make the switch though...

Logic Express 7.....Cubase....Bias Deck 3.5.....

I personally use Cubase...I'm a former Cool Edit/Adobe Audition user....it was my favorite program for mastering, multitracking & single editing.....

I use Cubase to multi-track...and Peak to Edit...

So is that saying Cubase doesnt allow you to edit (cut & paste) or what is the reason you use peak to edit? Yeah I agree with you Tek, its just that I think the sound quality would be better using my mac as opposed to using my pc, I dont have any special sound card or anything.

dont sweat it, get the Mac program soundtrack pro....you wont miss cool edit at all

you could even use garageband. the version of peak i have only lets you do 1 track (2 channels) at a time.

thanks hype ill peep that. Yeah I noticed garageband on my mac when I got it but I figured if it came with the computer that it was useless and I deleted it.

I used to use cooledit/Adobe audition also. Since I moved to MAC, the only program that was easiest for me to transition to was Digital performer 4.6.
DP 4.6 is worth checking out. This multi-track recording suite is very good.

Damn, so many programs so little money lol. I guess ill just get an m-box with pro tools, i was hoping i wouldnt have to spend $500, but my friend has pro tools so he can show me how to use it. Anyone know how many tracks pro tools has?

guys forgive my ignorance but how do you record your mix in garageband.
quick run through.

don't use garageband, its a very processor intense application. try a program like 'audio recorder' or something.
