David--
To continue using Cool Edit Pro, you could
explore Audition Audition users sound card
experiences and recommendations. This would be a
logical upgrade to plan for.
I'm not sure which users list the pros use. I see
the Adobe Audition Users Forum
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.1de98f7a
You can log in guest and go the section about
sound cards. The Emu cards do have a good
reputaion sound-wise. Key is making sure the card
will work, now with your current version of CE
and with Audition in the future. You may even
want to post that question. Rob D.
