Need some help. Got a digital turntable (Sony) for Christmas. I use Cool Edit Pro with an M-Audio pre USB for my mic, and the turntable came with Sound Forge Audio Studio LE. Installing Sound Forge killed my Cool Edit Pro AND M-audio..input, playback..everything. After uninstalling SF and reinstalling the M Audio software, I’m back in business. But, cant find a way for CEP to pick up the audio from the Turntable. Suggestions??

Sound Forge vs. Cool Edit Pro

That's a bummer, friend. I have no experience with Sound Forge so I don't know what it's habits are. I have four different audio programs on my machine so it is not a given that installing a second program has to kill the first program.
I have Adobe Audition 2.0 which is what Adobe created out of Cool Edit Pro in recent years. I recently acquired a USB digital headset mic just for experimentation. So far I have not been able to "trick" AA2 into doing business with the digital mic. Total Recorder Pro was happy to do the job for me, but using MSFTs limited little Sound Recorder with the digital headset works like a champ. Go figure.
I assume most of you have figured this out: Sound Recorder thinks the world is made of audio recordings of 60 seconds or less. Go into the program of your choice, create a file of whatever length you need just full of silence. 5 minutes. 60 minutes. Whatever size you need. Save the blank/silent file. When you open Sound Recorder, open your blank/silent file and you can record up to the length of the file. This may work well with your USB turntable. Save the recording of the records/albums to a new name and then use Cool Edit Pro or whatever you like to edit, normalize, equalize, trim the ends off and break into tracks for burning to CD.

P.S. On my version of Windows XP, when I go into the Volume Control pop-up when using Sound Recorder, I find on the PROPERTIES -> RECORDING and check box at the lower edge of the dialog labeled 1-AGC. That makes me think you are activiating an "automatic gain control". I haven't used it much yet, but it does boost the recording gain up to a very comfortable level for my headset mic, and if it is doing auto-gain, I couldn't see or hear evidence that it was.
I've run Cool Edit and Sound Forge together on the same machine before so the programs can definately co-exist without "killing" each other.
Cool Edit is an old program. More than likely it does not recognize the USB codecs from your turntable. I have a similar issue with my setup. I'm running an older version of Sony Vegas (6) which does not recognize the USB codecs for my USB mixer. Sound Forge and Acid 7 do however, so I wind up recording into SF and editing in Vegas. You will most likely need to install Sound Forge to record from your turntable.
As for the compatability issue with SF and CE, it could just be a matter of sound card settings. Check your record and playback settings to see if anything changed after the SF installation (Windows Classic Wave Driver/Microsoft Sound Mapper/ASIO) I had to deal with a lot of this after moving operations from my crashed XP machine to my Vista laptop and 2-new pieces of software. Eventually I struck upon a combination that works, but it took a bit of finagling.
Sound Forge is a pretty solid product and should easily facilitate whatever you intend to do with the turntable. You may want to consider upgrading to the latest version of Audition (if you like that program) or down load the Vegas demo from the Sony site and give it a whirl, you may like it better (I did).
Good luck and Happy New Year!

I still use both on a win98 machine with the speed of P2, 450mhz.
I use Sound Forge 5.0 for mixing,capture and FX.Cool Edit Pro is much faster on loading,undo -redo, Sound Forge is very sloooow on loading and undo-redo.but I treat them the same.
I do not have one of those USB turntables yet,but I was eyeballing the Ion at B.J's,so now I do my transfers with standard turntable with a mixer that connects to the sound cards line input.
I use Sound Forge or Cool Edit Pro to record to a wav.
To record to a direct mp3 I use Total Recorder it also records to a wav file too.I used to use Mp3 DirectCut, but it was a little flakey with the
old geezer win98 computer.
