Jeezus - Cool Edit 96? What year is this? ;) Haven't sampling rates and
stuff improved enough to warrant a little upgrade on that bad-boy? Cool
Edit 2000 only costs $69, even if you bother to pay for it (not that I
really know too much about cool edit, I like Sound Forge) .. Might help with
your current problem too - newer programs are probably written with more
file swapping stability built in, since here in the new millenium <grin> we
have computers that can run many multiple audio apps ... Just speculating

To state the obvious - sounds like a file sharing problem. It happens to me
when I preview a sample in something shitty like, say, Windows Media Player
and try and open it with Fruity without first closing WMP. I know the
version of Sound Forge I'm using (4.5) allows me to "Save In Direct Mode",
which saves a copy of the sample into Sound Forge's workspace, essentially
releasing the file itself for other apps to use. Thats how it works for me
... might check for a similar feature of some kind in Cool Edit <snicker> 96
(okay, I'll shut up now...)
Good luck!
Mike
