I do wonder why Syntrillium is being so tightlipped about it to their users, though?

I'm sorry man... I mean I like CEP... its a great program but the competition has been way ahead of them for some time now.

[huxtable jones]

lord knows I don't want to turn this thread into a flamewar, but don't you mean they've been ahead of 1.2 for a long time? I guess I'm in the minority, but I've been using 1.2 for a long time, and I don't mind using it for a while longer till 2 comes out...there are areas where 1.2 STILL out performs the competition, and I'm sure 2 will do the same years from now...I don't mind the wait, and I think a lot of you people sound like kids wanting ice cream...."I want it right now or I'll hold my breath till I die!"

Just relax, or run off and buy something else and quit whining - you'll regret it.

[waitingtoolong]

Sorry.. but I'm gonna swear a little.

CEP 2.0? IT'S ABOUT ****ING TIME.

I've been waiting for what? 2 YEARS for this upgrade? Jeezuz Christ!

Way to let Sonic Foundry just FLY by ya. Good thing you put all that effort into CE2k for all the newbies. :rolleyes: OH yea, and the screensavers and windchimes wtfever??

PRO AUDIO. DON'T LOSE IT. I PROMOTE THE **** OUT YOUR SOFTWARE, IT'S STARTING TO BECOME A JOKE TO ME.. 2 YEARS AND NOTHING NEW?

What the hell has taken so long? And this BETTER be good. I could care LESS about CR-r caps, and lame effects. I hope this mofo is faster, fancier, and VERY CUSTOMIZABLE. The Favorites on 1.2 PISSES ME OFF. it's like 6x3 inches big for one, and I gotta hit the 'U' a billion times to move **** around. PAIN IN THE ASS PEOPLE!

Put a volume knob on the front of the son of a bitch too. That'd be nice, so when we're bouncing around fro PROG 2 PROG, we can do it right.

I don't get it. I'm a pro, I do this for a living.. you know who I am I'd bet too, I CAN'T STAND SONIC FOUNDRY! Don't make me (us) take that route.

GET ON THE BALL, AND STAY ON THE BALL THIS TIME. PLEASE.

excuse my ******* -ish way here.. but I have checked that goddamn homepage at least a thousand times in the last 2 years looking for updates.

Unbelieveable. But, halle-****in-luyeah.

So when's the release date? next fall probably huh?

[Heavens to Betsy 2]

From a certain standpoint I can understand this sort of post but you really have worked yourself up into a state--much less the fault of Syntrillium. Several months ago, Synt posted a request for Beta testers; it was quite evident on their homepage and from the sound of your language you're not one of them. What were you looking at, if you were so vigilant?

Though you're probably not seriously ranting, it's nevertheless pointless. CEP is Syntrillium's game--let them play it. They can do what they wish; we consumers judge with our wallets. If it's no good, word will spread and the laws of economics will administer jurisprudence. If you want a better app, code one yourself or buy elsewhere; nobody likes an armchair general.

Or maybe keep a little faith in Syntrillium. In the forums.syntrillium.com post, Bob Ellison made clear that CEP2.0 will be a quality product. I suggest we trust him and look forward to the release.

[trock]

waitingtoolong, I'm a pro too so I wasn't able to wait for CEP to catch up to my needs so I switched to Vegas about a year ago but eventually got frustrated by what it couldn't do. I came across the 90 day free fully-working demo of Samplitude Studio 6 at magix.net, tried it out on a project and was completely blown away and got a great price on a competitive upgrade and for the first time ever I am completely happy with my PC recording system :)

[beetlefan]

Let's see, Sonic Foundry issues update patches every other week. Synt doesn't play that. They would rather put out something that works from the get-go.

Too bad you don't think much of newbies and novice users. Why exclude them?

The windchime thing is something the developer did in his spare time and has been available for many years. I can assure you thatb Synt has a team of people who work on the software all the time.

Need I remind you that while SF had buggy software that needed fixing they were busy writing kids editing software.

[sk]

Hey, Trock. A quick question, if you don't mind. After reading your post, I went to the Magix/Samplitude site and downloaded the 90 trial version of S. Master. I emailed their support to find out what, if any, crippling effects are connected with the trial version. No response yet. Could you please post what, if any, features don't work. Thanks.

[carparker]

sk, trock answered your question already, second sentence, the whole thing works and does so for 90 days, nothing is disabled or restricted, it's a very generous demo in that respect but that's because they know once you try it you are hooked.

cp

[sk]

Good point, CP. "...free fully working demo". Sorry. I guess I'm so doubtful of most demoes that are so crippled they're hardly worth downloading that I missed it. Although from some of the posts it might just take a month or two to work through the 'layers' of Samplitude. But also from what I've read, everyone seems to feel it's worth it. Thanks again. And sorry for the newbie overlook.
SK

Well, I have a surprise for you. If you want to see atleast alittle screen shot of the next version of CEP go here.

HAR! Hope Marty Bradley don't get in any trouble...

Oh my...

[Bob Cain]

I just wish they would answer one critical strategic question. Does 2.0 require WinXP?

God I hope not. I am simply not up to that trauma with the hundreds of apps I have which might or might not work. I'd hate like hell to have hung in and waited this long only to find 2.0 a red herring. Angry won't begin to describe my reaction should it be the case.

BTW, has anyone done the upgrade from Win98SE to WinXP and retained their application base in a working state?


Bob

[DS_Sultan]

Yes, I did the 98se update to XP Pro. All Apps worked fine, it was my hardware that had the trauma, drivers and such. But this says nothing about what your apps will do as I had only audio apps and a CD bruning proggy loaded. The biggest issue I had was that XP acted just like Win2K. My Aark drivers lost PCI bus connectivity. So I backed down to 98SE again so I could actually do some work without having to reboot every couple of hours to get sound out of my system.

Good luck.

I also saw the ad in EQ...very exciting. I also bought Nuendo last spring and invested alot into it but still use CEP alot so of course I'll be buying V2.

One little note...I like how over on the Synt forums they lock up all the threads when people get ansy. they have a good product but their people skills suck! lol

Do you think it's any better here with the flaming wars and all?

[dcwave]

no... I don't think its any better. These forums have gone downhill a little since the old pixilite days....

But at least its not the Cubase for Windows forum... man thats wild over there ( cubase.net )

[resistor man]

Shhh! It's almost civil around here these days... don't stir it up!

[Sonic Valley]

You got a point there Beetle. At least over there moderators actually have power to do something when things heat up. We should all be moderators...there'd be no difference in editing power...lol

Think I'll try something new and flame myself...has that been done here yet? lol

Guys -- Cool edit pro v3.0 is already available -- it's called Samplitude 2496 6.0!

I know that CEP is easier to learn than Samp', but if you spent just a fraction of the time you spend worrying about CEP 2.0 on learning samp', you'd be enjoying the most advanced audio app' on the planet -- just some friendly advice FWIW.

[Bob Cain]

Hmm, interesting lead in:

"New York City--Quietly demoed offsite during the AES Convention, Syntrillium Software is ready to formerly introduce version 2.0 of Cool Edit Pro at Winter NAMM."

I know how they feel. I've often been ready to formerly do something myself.

When is winter NAMM anyway? Er, assuming they mean this winter. :-)

What did you say Samp costs? Oh, you didn't.

P.S. Tried to delete this second copy but it only allows leaders to do that, heavy sigh.

Really! For Studio? They didn't used to be anywhere near that competitive. Excellent news about an excellent product. It's the only one I know that will let you easily slice up a sloppy percussion loop and re-time it by stretching and moving the slices seamlessly. I am really hoping to see slicing and stretching in CEP 2.0.

Samplitude 2496 can be purchased at Silicon Heights for $255, Samp Studio for $175. Silicon Heights is an academic reseller and requires verified academic affiliation (student, faculty , staff). They carry many other audio products; e.g., Sonic Foundry, Steinberg, etc. as well as the usual suspects (MS, Adobe, etc.).

They're at http://www.siliconheights.com

I've absolutely no connection with Silicon Heights other than as a satisfied customer.
