Adobe has acquired the technology assets of Syntrillium Software and so, has acquired the audio editor Cool Edit.

Adobe has now released a rebranded version of Cool Edit Pro 2.1 as Adobe Audition software.

The company says: “Adobe Audition is the same great Cool Edit Pro that you know and love along with the addition of enhanced integration with Adobe Premiere® Pro® and Adobe After Effects® 6.0 software. Adobe Audition also includes 4,500 high-quality royalty-free loops so you can make your own music quickly and easily.”

Syntrillium’s other products: Cool Edit 2000, Red Rover, Snoqualmie, Wind Chimes, Kaleidoscope, and the content available on the Loopology.com site have been discontinued.

If you own Cool Edit Pro 2.x, you can download a complimentary upgrade to Adobe Audition. To download and install Adobe Audition, you will need to provide your Cool Edit Pro 2.x serial number and have Cool Edit Pro 2.x installed on your computer.

If you own Cool Edit 2000 or Cool Edit Pro 1.x, an upgrade will cost $99.
