cood edit pro 2 manual ??

Hi All,
I have started using cool edit pro 2. I did not get very far with this program. Does a step bt step user manual exist? Ive googled this to death and cannot find a good manual. Thanks

This is a link to "A" CEP Pro manual, I'm not sure if it's 2.0. Either way I'm thinking there is not much difference. This will give you the basics.

There is no "step by step" manual. There are a couple of books out, including Audio Editing With Cool Edit Pro by Robert Riley. I see copies every so often (since there's no longer a Cool Edit Pro, I guess they haven't bothered to reprint it). I have one, and it was useful, but you will always find yourself wanting to do something that the writer didn't think of. The best way is to start at the beginning and teach yourself.

One thing I have found with the books is that all of them assume you understand recording, music, and arranging, and that all you need is to know how to configure your ins & outs, sampling rates, etc. If you don't know what ins & outs ARE, or why sampling rates matter (or that they exist) then a book won't help. CEP (and most of the other software I've seen) emulate tape recording for a lot of their functions, which means sometimes that if you can't use a tape deck it's not going to be any easier to use a computer.

A lot of people sort of assume that, if it's a computer, it will do a lot of things for you, kind of like a graphics program that "automatically" gets rid of red-eye in portraits. The truth is, that recording is a deep and complex activity, and, while a computer will do many things that you either can't do without one, or without a lot of expensive analog gear, it's still a box. It won't take my voice and guitar and turn it into Hoyt Axton Sings With Steely Dan, but it WILL allow me to get the combination to sound as good as possible.

All that said, here's a link to a CEP manual: http://www.alfors.com/Ruzne/cep2man.pdf

Checkout audiomasters.org and the audition form at Adobe.
My cooledit and audition cd have a PDF Manuel on it.

IIRC, the helpfile that's built into CEP2, is word for word exactly the same as the printed manual.

Can anyone e-mail me an Adobe Audition 1.5 manual .pdf file?

I have the Cool Edit Pro V2 manual in .pdf if anyone needs one.

My official copy came with a manual.

Same here. I think you'll find Adobe is a lot more careful about letting the manual out than Syntrillium was. At one time you had to enter your serial # and password to access the manual for AA 1.0 at the Adobe website.
