Ok. I been wondering about this for a long time. When ever I save my mp3 file I been working on with Cool Edit Pro 2.0, each time it says "You may be saving to a compressed(lossy) format. Be sure to backup of your original file if you wish to preserve full audio fidelity." Does that mean each time you save, the quality of that file would become less-good? Also, wav files does'nt display that comment but would it apply the same results like mp3?


Another thing I been wondering about. Adobe Audition 1.5 is exactly the same as Cool Edit Pro 2.0!! Why is that? Which is better, Adobe Audition or Cool Edit?

First off, you asked this in the wrong forum. This is for all things midi.

To answer your first question, the software is simply indicating to you that you are about to sve the file to a lossy format, which is what MP3 is.

I would hope that you aren't SAVING your work to an MP3,, and that you are only exporting it to MP3. If so, you won;t suffer any additional loss over and above what you lose goingto MP3.

Wave files are not lossy, so you won't see that warning.

Sorry, can't help you with the AA questions, never having used it. But I think AA is the new version of Cool Edit.

Adobe bought CoolEdit from Syntrillium Software a couple of years ago. So the first version of Audition was probably identical to CoolEdit with the branding changed
