Cool Edit Pro was the predecessor of Adobe Audition. Syntrillium made "Cool Edit" ($69 in 2000) and "Cool Edit Pro" ($399 in 2000) with the former having fewer features (FAQ page). In May 2003, Syntrillium's technology assets were purchased by Adobe, who discontinued the non-pro version and renamed the pro version to Adobe Audition. 2.1 is the last version before it became Adobe Audition.
Release dates of Cool Edit Pro: (relevant because I need to check the system requirements page at that time for that version's requirements)
| Version | Release Date | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | 2003/04/08 | 98/ME/2000/XP |
| 2.0 | 2002/01/17 | 98/ME/2000/XP |
| 1.2a | 2000/07/21 | 95/98/NT/ME/2000 |
| 1.2 | 1999/05/25 | 95/98/NT |
| 1.1 | 1998/04/10 | 95/NT |
Note that the website still said 1.2a even in 2002/04.
oldversion.com has a bunch of version numbers not listed above; those are actually the non-pro version.
Cool Edit 96 is a 16-bit application and works on Windows 3.1, despite that it's only officially stated to work on Windows 95 and NT.
