Hi, i'm new to this board and fairly new to Cool Edit and guitar playing, but i'm in a band and we're thinking about doing some basic recording, the reason i got my hands on a copy of cool edit. Now there are two guitarists in the band me and my friend Tom, now say i record a riff that i'm happy with but cannot for the life of me think of anything to go with it, is there anyway that i can send the music to my friend (i normally save mixdown as an .mp3 and send it to him like that) so he can open up the file in his cool edit and add stuff to it, kinda like what i see on my screen can he just get that like is there a way to save it so it does that?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum or anything, but all help will be appriciated, thats if anyone understands what i'm saying :blush:
Cheers

Welcome to the Cool Edit / Audition forums Funky_Munky.
What version of Cool Edit? The answers you get depend on that.
Assuming your version is CEP, you have the ability to create MP3 files right from the program. If your friend has CEP, he will be able to open your MP3 file right into his version.
When you start your project, put some sort of a count-in sound before you start playing. That will help your friend when he starts to add material to what you recorded. And it will help you when he sends the file back to you for you to add more material.
Just remember, every time you convert MP3 to wav and then back to MP3, you seriously degrade your sound. It won't take too many transfers between you and your friend for your material to start sounding really nasty. If both you and your friend have broadband connections, you should figure out some way to send wav files.
If you are new to Cool Edit, you need to do some serious reading of the manual. That will help you better understand answers to this and other questions you will post on the forum.
This forum will be shut down toward the end of August, so you might post future questions over here:

Good luck in your recording.

Easy:
Make sure that all of your audio files are in the same folder (as WAV), then burn a data CD including that folder and the session file (titled something.ses). All your friend needs to do is grab the whole lot off of the CD, copy it to the computer, then open the session file. It will look exactly like what's on your computer.
There's a chance that it will copy to his computer as "read-only" since Windows really likes to be extra super careful like that, and we all love it, but simply highlighting all files, right-clicking, and selecting "properties" will allow him to un-check "read-only".
Go Windows!

What post78 said is the best way for collaboration between two CEP users. But... I would suggest to leave files' properties alone. After all your friend is supposed to add his guitar to your session, right? So, after he'd record his parts into a session he should choose "Save Session As" and save it under some other name. Then (providing the CD is RW) he should add his new files (his guitar parts and riffs) AND a new .ses file to that CD-RW and deliver it back to you. That would be it. Good luck!

You're forgetting something: Writing a CD doesn't delete that information from your hard drive; FM will still have the session and files. His friend will have a copy, which means he can just save over it. Not only is the original still on FM's computer, but it's also on the CD.
