Why I Like Adobe Audition / Cool Edit Pro, A Love Story, by ...Bs
1) Multitrack view
2) User-friendly, non-clunky GUI for single file editing or multitracking (unlike other MT-capables out there)
3) DVD-Authoring - who needs it, my playback is medialess
4) Ability to handle processing of > 2GB files without needing to split the file
5) 32bfp processing without choking on large files
6) Shall I go on?
All this to say the decision is very dependent on user preferences.
