Sample Rate Conversion
An independent group has put together a comparison of current sample rate converters, and I'm happy to say that Audition's SRC algorithm is among the best available, and clearly the best one that comes included with a host application! (And that's before you even consider price.) Our sample rate conversion has always been considered one of the best, but it's great to have independent, empirical confirmation.
Incidentally, our SRC process goes back to the Cool Edit 96 days at Syntrillium and was written by David, the original Cool Edit author. It's been sped up between then and now but the quality has been the same for almost 8 years.
[edit 5:11PM] What are the odds that this page would be updated today? Well, it has been and there are some new algorithms included. Audition is still among the best, but there are a few more posted now that compete (and even beat) us. Still, I'm proud of where we sit! :)

Hi Hart,
I haven't had a chance to try cool edit in it's current "audition" incarnation, but it looks like you've been working hard. Any chance you'll bring this baby to the macintels?
