I recall TB specifically distinguishing themselves from Creative Labs in their marketing at that time, and aiming for a different segment � serious home recording hobbyists, which is the exact same segment CoolEdit aimed for. I didn�t personally compare their stuff to other products, but there wasn�t much else at that price point that had a track record and met good audio standards. And while many others are gone, the TB brand was valuable enough that it still exists, albeit hawking more mainstream products.

I was an early adopter of CEP, which was also a high quality product at a price the masses could afford, and I was astonished that the media, such as it was, largely ignored it for a couple of years while hyping inferior software that sold for double or triple the price. I think a similar effect was going on � if relatively inexpensive hardware and software can produce outstanding results, this somehow seemed to diminish the �seriousness� of the industry. I view the old TB and Syntrillium as having similar roles in that time period.
