I don't know about Cool Edit but at least in Audition 1.5 there is a
setting "Options>Settings>Data>Smoooth all edit boundaries by
crossfading __ ms". Mine is set to 3 ms which seems to work fine - I
think that was the default setting. I'm not sure if this applies
Multitrack View but in Edit view it does well at seamlessly splicing
out a cut section given similar content on either side. Spectral View
is handy for finding a good spots between events to place a cut
without breaking the natural rhythm.
