CoolEdit has always enjoyed high popularity among digital audio enthusiasts, thanks to its powerful features, easy to use interface, and reasonable price. The version featured here is one of the first ones released. It was released in late 1993 and is compatible with Windows 3.x.

Back then it already featured interesting DSP effects and supported a nice list of audio formats: WAV, VOC, ADPCM, AIFF... CoolEdit kept envolving, and several versions were released: CoolEdit 96, CoolEdit 2000, CoolEdit Pro, Pro 2.

In early 2003, Adobe bought the assets of Syntrillium (makers of CoolEdit) and started selling the software renamed to Adobe Audition.
