A note: I noticed you use Cool Edit Pro. I have used that for ages for my radio show, & other projects. I tried upgrading to Adobe Audition, but it was so resource heavy, I reverted back to the CEP version of the program. Adobe just seems to be the Microsoft of applications. Bloated, & clunky.
Yep, same here, I tried Audition and it just did not work as well as CEP. CEP’s user interface is better in my opinion, too. Good to hear from you Ernest, been a while.
Can never go wrong with an ’84 post, Richie!
Sheena was quite the all-round achiever in the Billboard charts, conquering the Hot 100, AC, Dance, Country and R&B charts!
