Cool Edit Pro: "calling the mothership?"

M

MyCatKnight

After accepting Verizon's free trial month of internet protection on our new FIOS line, the security program caught Cool Edit Pro 1.2 attempting to access the internet (which I chose to "block," not allowing it).

Why? Can I turn it off?

Is is possible that this is why my program crashes SO frequently? I am on a Dell Pentium 4 with Windows XP, and CEP frequently freezes up (saying "not responding"). On the "Windows Task Manager," I see an identical CEP task... but hitting "switch task" or "end task" to either or both does nothing. Will unplugging my router while in production help?

I bought this original copy on e-bay, is it worth shelling out full price for the new Adobe Audition? Or shall I seek an older version of Audition on e-bay, then pay for the upgrade?
 
I had not heard of Cool Edit doing that..but Adobe Audition (especially 2.0 and 3.0) does. Are you sure you have a legitimate version of Cool Edit? If you bought it on ebay, there is a possibility that somebody copied it and just let you have a cracked reg code. Not a good idea on a lot of levels.

The printed CD and jewel case insert are all original CEP 1.0. Previous owner included a CD with CEP 1.2 upgrade on it. Could've used the instruction book, though.

Any opinions on "Pro Tools Academic"? I qualify for a good deal on it, but the catalog says "Requires Pro Tools-compatible M-Audio interface." Can anyone explain this in English to someone who grew up on cart decks, cutting-and-splicing tape, and back-erase editing?

If my tax guy says I can write off both, then I may buy both the latest AA and this PT (which is the preference of some stations where I am applying for jobs... I figure it would be a good investment).

I have this same set up. Audition 2.0 on my windows machine, and Pro Tools on my Mac Book. With Pro Tools, you need a hardware device to operate the software, which is what they mean by PT compatable device. I have a M-BOX Mini2, which included the Pro Tools software and all the goodies for around $275.00. Here is a link to the web site that may give you some info that will help you find the product that is right for you. http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=104&langid=100&itemid=23596

Good luck.
 
Digidesign requires that you use either thier audio interfaces (sound cards) or compatable cards that are "approved by Digidesign" (read as: making money for Digidesign)

That little M-Box mini is neat, and yes it smart to have a solid working knowlege of both PT and AA. Both good investments.
