USB MIDI interface on Cool Edit Pro v2 (Adobe Audition) ARGGHHH! Help needed....

Before I shell out on a Roland MIDI interface midi cable for my my home studio can anyone tell me if it will work? I had a working setup for years with an HP Pavilion Win XP and Creative Audigy Platinum Ex sound card using the Audigy external breakout box for the midi in/out. Very old but worked fine with my (legit) Cool Edit Pro. The old PC gave up the ghost so I bought a new ASUS one i5 Intel CPU with a SSD for the OS Apps as well as 1Tb HDD for storage.
I installed Win 7 as XP is not supported anymore.
THEN I bought a PCIe to PCI interface (the old Audigy card being standard PCI)
THEN I found that the new Win 7 drivers for the Audigy do not support the 'daughter board' and breakout box so the MIDI interface does not work..
Easy way round that ( I thought ), I will install XP and dual boot the new PC.
THEN I found that the EUFI is incompatible with XP.
THEN I found a way to install XP except that most of the drivers don't work and the XP runs like a dog. You can either have EUFI SATA setup correctl and see the SSD or have XP and the SSD not recognised.
by the way
The sound card is native on the MB Hi-def surround so Ian probably use that.
Can anyone tell me if I install a Roland Midi In Out USB cable between my MIDI control keyboard Synth will the Cool Edit Pro recognise it in the Midi device configuration and allow me to input receive MIDI data in the Program?. I'm losing the 'will to live right' now having already acknowledged that my SB is now a piece of useless junk. Cool Edit seems to install and run fine on Win 7 by the way apart from this MIDI problem.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that and the quick reply. I suppose shelling out another £40 isn’t going to make a lot of difference having blown £70+ on a PCIe to PCI convertor which is a bit pointless now and especially if it will save me the cost of updating the soundcard and recording software. I tend to use an external mixer (Tascam) to input and monitor from the PC software. I suspect , like you, it should work once I de-install the Audigy HW stuff as although the soundcard plays the CEP demo the device config window only ‘sees’ that and not the onboard sound hardware. Fun times ahead.
Thanks again

Will my Unitor8 non USB Midi Interface work with Logic Pro 8 (MacOSX 10.5.8

I just purchased one of these Unitor8 gizmos, but have no way of connecting it with my Mac due to the absence of the USB connection on the MIDI interface. My question is....can I use a RS422 mini-din 8pin serial >>>to USB adapter converter, and will the OS and Logic recognize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The problem is not the reliability of the adapter (they're just fine), but that the Midi driver doesn't look for such an adapter. It won't work. The only chance to get your interface to work is to buy one of the emagic interfaces that came with both USB and RS port and to chain them up.

USB midi interface

I would like to record some drumming from my v-drums onto GB. I purchased a USB midi interface. My computer will recognize it but GB will not. I have tried just about everything. Now my question is: does GB only have the option for connecting midi devices through an audio midi interface? Is there any way to use this USB midi interface to do what I want? Can someone help me?

in GB's prefs, under the Audio MIDI tab, what does it say after "MIDI Status:"

Don't you guys (staff) miss Cool Edit Pro's editing?

Hi, devs.
You guys might want to do some research on how all the former Cool Edit Pro users felt about the introduction of Audition's new way of navigating the interface. (referring to how you left and right-click in the standard edit view, and do that type of basic editing.) I haven't used Cool Edit Pro in long enough that my memory might not be 100% accurate, but I do at least remember never getting used to the new Audition-style gestures... (even when I switched back to the old-style right-clicking.)
Some of Audition's editing has bothered me for a long time. Audition surely brought advances to Cool Edit Pro, but it seems that a few of the most important things also took a slide.
Now that CS6 once again defaults to the Cool Edit Pro right-click (really nice), other oddities have arisen, like: when your sound is playing, left-clicking to change position does nothing at all, at least as far as I can tell. It puts a dotted line, but nothing can be done with it. If a sound is currently playing, the only way to jump to a different location is to completely stop the audio, click somewhere else, then play again. (Is that slow, or is that slow?) I think this at least needs some options under Preferences>>Playback.
Another angle to look at this is: find out if the majority of the Audition staff even like these changes, vs. Cool Edit Pro's style. I don't see how they could, at least if they were ever comfortable with Cool Edit Pro.
Update: (Also, what about using middle-mouse-click to move the Playhead (current playing location) without losing your selection? Currently, you have to click that bar at the top, which most users probably won't discover, unless they follow an actual training course. You need to find a way to get these things across to people, or the vast, vast majority of users - like myself - will be editing in "this program is junk" mode. I don't think it's junk, but that doesn't stop me from often having a hard time with new things that require psychic insight to understand.
Users aren't psychic. If you don't explain to them how to use features, then those features don't exist. (and if they aren't going to go out and find training material themselves, or read the help files, then you either have to provide something up-front yourself, or you're ruined. I think too many companies dont understand this. Autodesk seems to, providing videos that show the basics, right on the bootup Welcome Screen. I think that's very important.)

Hi ZypKode, I couldn't help but reply to your post: Back before Win 95 I was using Digigram's Xtrack audio editor. It didn't run on Win 3.x because that OS wasn't capable enough. Win 95 just managed that when it came out. I looked at Cool Edit Pro around that time, and it was Ok. But for my work which was a lot of interview recording/editing plus radio programme recording in 4 track (2 tracks for voicing, 1 stereo track for music) Xtrack was way out ahead, in terms of multitrack capability but especially speed of work. Even the waveform display had several options apart from the standard full-wave that every editor, even today uses (Audacity offers a dB display which is better, but nothing like the old Xtrack offering). The option I always used was a half-wave display with just the outline, and it was logarithmic rather than linear. Result was that, without resorting to zooming in and out, you could see the noise floor, see the detail of the person's breath and lip-smack. With a little experience you could do most voice edits just by looking without even listening – which, of course, you did afterward, just to make sure :-) Producers used to look at me as if I was a magician when doing the edits like that. If Audition one day offered that as a waveform option, they could put it forward as a revolutionary new experience, since Digigram, better known for their high end audio hardware, dropped Xtrack a few years ago, being too small a company to compete with the big players.

Logic 7.1.1 and MIDEX8 USB MIDI Interface

Anyone had experience using the Yamaha/Steinberg MIDEX8 USB MIDI Interface with Logic? I've just moved from the PC to Logic on the Mac and since I already own the MIDEX8 I wanted to check first to see that it worked well with Logic before trying to install it. I was advised by the store who sold me the Mac that this would work OK, but was also was advised to get the M-Audio MIDISport 8x8USB as a better choice.
Thanks in advance.
Peter Alexander

You are very welcome. and welcome to the Mac family. I made the move this time last year and I am in heaven. its been like getting out of a ford fiesta and in to a Bentley!
have fun with Logic and the G5.

How can i eject a cool edit pro driver?

Hi, can anyone help me please?
I can not eject a driver "cool edit pro" from my Imac...

Shut the computer down. That will force it to quit whatever is running or it believes is running. Then hold down the trackpad button while you start it up again, until the disc is ejected.

Can preset plugins be copied from Cool Edit Pro to Audition?

Can preset plugins be added/copied from Cool Edit Pro to use in Audition? There are just some equalizer settings in CEP I liked a lot and they are not in Audition.

Even though it might be possible, you might also not like the results any more - the EQ engines have been rebuilt and there's no guarantee that they will sound the same at all.
There are no guarantees, but if it's going to work at all, you find the Cool.ini file in preferences, and drop it onto the Audition icon on the desktop. Has to be the right ini file though - it's the one that's normally hidden in your user preferences, and much larger than the one that's easy to find.

Registering a used copy of Cool Edit Pro

I have just purchased a used copy of Cool Edit Pro on Ebay. I have been assured that it is genuine (I only ever use genuine software). I would like to register it in may name as it has the name of the previous owner in the licence details. I can't find a "Register" link in the "help" menu. Can anyone help, please?

Copier et coller ne fonctionne pas comme dans cool edit pro à l'aide?

copier et coller ne fonctionne pas comme dans cool edit pro à l'aide?

La version est cool édit pro 1.1, je crois. Il s'agit d'une vieille
version. La fonction mixer et coller me permettait de faire un mix d'une
pièce à l'autre sur une seule piste mais ça fonctionne pas dans Adobe
audition. Bizarre car la fonction coller une pièce après une autre
fonctionne mais mixer et coller ne fait que mixer la partie de la pièce
mise en surbrillance et sélectionnée... À l'aide... Cool édit pro était
tellement plus simple...

Best USB-MIDI interface to connect Yamaha MFC10 foot controller to MacBook Air

Hi guys,
I would like to buy a Yamaha MFC10 MIDI foot controller. It has a number of advantages over other foot controllers. For instance: you can connect up to four additional expression pedals to the foot controller, which is something I might need in the future, so it's better to invest in this product so I am prepared for the future.
The thing is, I want to connect this MIDI controller to a USB port on my MacBook Air. What is the best USB-MIDI interface to get in this situation?
I love to hear your thoughts on this.
Cheers!
Best regards,
Theo

Did you set midi communications to USB? I think by default it may be set to the MIDI port on the back. You need USB.
Press Utilities, then MIDI (F6).

Good USB-MIDI interface

I can see other posts on this topic but they're from 2007
Can anyone recommend a good USB-MIDI interface… I have an old yamaha electric keyboard (about 15 years old) it has the midi in/out plugs so I assume it will connect okay to the Mac/garageband. I notice on ebay there are similar looking interface devices selling from around USD$6.00 to $40.00 (often it's better to spend more but not always)
That's one question, the other is: will it be likely that I will have to buy a more modern keyboard to work okay with garageband? I should mention that I have zero experience just now with garageband if anyone knows common problems with trying to wire up a keyboard to a mac…
Many thanks
Mark

Thank you Keith, and Hangtime… Once again you will have to forgive my total ignorance about GB to date… once I connect the keyboard I will be able to start playing around…
Keith could you clarify the bit about "do you want midi only, or audio inputs too"…? What form would 'audio inputs' take?
My keyboard has it's own selection of sounds, GB also has it's own collection of sounds. the USB-MIDI interfaces I have seen on bay are mostly just a cable with the 2 midi plugs one end, a usb plug on the other end and a small box in-between. What would "audio inputs" imply. would you normally record a GB audio file with sounds from the keyboard or those of GB. does "audio inputs" imply a 3rd selection of sounds?

Upgrade rules for Cool Edit, Cool Edit pro, Audition

Does anybody know the upgrade order for the following applications?
Cool Edit 96
Cool Edit 2000
Cool Edit Pro 1
Cool Edit Pro 2
Audition 1
If one had Cool Edit 2000 what was the next step up? Was it Cool Edit Pro or was it Audition?
Was it posible to go from Cool Edit 96 to Cool Edit Pro 1 ? Or was is rquired to go by Cool Edit 2000 first?
Could one go from Cool Edit 96 to Audition?
Any such information is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Did you go from Cool edit pro 2 to Adobe Audition 1?
My mistake - Cool Edit 1 is actually Cool Edit Pro 1. It got renamed because it was the paid-for upgrade from Cool Edit 96.
So ignoring CE2000, the major software lineage to date is effectively:
Cool Edit 96
Cool Edit Pro 1
Cool Edit Pro 1.2
Cool Edit Pro 2, which became Audition 1, minus the CD burning which was beta. Adobe wouldn't countenance that!
Audition 1.5
Audition 2.0
Audition 3.0
Audition 3.0.1
Audition 4.0 aka Audition CS5.5
Cool Edit Pro didn't natively do MP3 - you had to purchase that as a plugin. CE2000 had it natively, though. There might be a minor additional step around CEP1.2 and 2, but I don't recall offhand whether there was or not, and it would only have been a bugfix.

I bought Cool Edit Pro v. 2 many yrs ago. loaded onto new PC and now it won't work

It now thinks it's a "trial version" and won't let me use it. It's NOT A TRIAL VER, I PAID FOR IT. The Adobe support guys don't want to help, I need a work around

I loaded it using the original CD and license number. My old PC had Windows XP but my new PC has Windows 7. It worked for a while, but then up pops the "trial version" stuff saying I used up my 12 free hours. It wasn't a trial version, I bought it years ago and have been using it all along

Where did you reload it from? Do you still have the original CD and serial number? Maybe it isn't compatible with your new PC so we need a bit more info to see if it is compatible.

USB-MIDI interfaces

Is it possible to connect 2 separate USB-MIDI interfaces? (i.e., use 2 separate 1-in/1-out interfaces instead of a 2-in/1-out interface)

Yes.

"Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" is greyed out in CS6.

In Adobe Premiere CS6, "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition" is greyed out. How can I change that? I have Adobe Audition CS6 installed as well. I have Production Premium CS6.

I've solved it.
Here's what I did:
1) Put in my Adobe CS6 Production Premium install discs and re-installed the programs that I had chosen. All of them (except for the 32-bit versions of software that was available in 64-bit).
2) Let all of the programs finish the install. I believe that Premiere needs Audition to be installed first, so that it recognizes that it's there, and that's a natural progression when installing all of Production Premium.
3) That's it. I opened Premiere, and found that it could connect with Audition.
