Wonder where that came from. My two main audio programs are Peak and
Spark XL. Which is a hint, I use macs, not PC's. I do often point out to
people that CoolEdit seems to be commonly used in the PC environment. I
don't have Cooledit, though it would probably run in Virtual PC on the mac.

I've found that for nature recording that multitrack emphasis seems to
just get in the way. I prefer programs that do mono and stereo well. Of
the two programs I use, Spark XL is much more capable for filtering and
such like. And Peak is one heck of a lot easier to use for the mundane
tasks of bringing in recordings and doing the initial trimming and
editing. Samplitude sounds to be more in the line of Spark XL.
