I come to Cohler Classical after decades of recording, editing, and mastering classical music from chamber music to operas…I had been using Soundblade, Nuendo, and Reaper for many years, for recording, but only Soundblade (now at end of life) supported Source-Destination editing. I had been considering Pyramix for multitrack editing when Cohler Classical was first released. I began using CC a few months ago, and I am very happy I did. It is straightforward to learn and was created with classical music editing in mind. Its S-D editing model is more flexible than Sonic, and its many other capabilities make the recording-editing-mastering process very efficient, with lightning fast response even for very large track counts.

I never imagined I could or would be editing my debut concerto CD myself, but Cohler Classical made it possible. With no prior experience, I am amazed at how easy and stress-free the process is. For my prior commercial CDs, editing was a cumbersome process searching for and listening to takes, and going back and forth numerous times with the producer to make modifications. With Cohler Classical, all the takes are on one screen. Mr. Cohler had me up and running in one day, provides stellar customer service, and the software runs very fast even on my old 2008 Macbook. I would never consider expensive applications like Pyramix or Pro Tools when Cohler Classical does everything I need at a fraction of a cost. I highly recommend this product!

I’ve been waiting for this affordable source-destination software for years and I’m so happy to be using it now. It is extremely fast and super efficient. The setup is easy and you can start editing and or recording in no time...I had a few questions and every time customer service answered me within 24 hours max, something I have never experienced with any other software vendor. Cohler Classical is extremely powerful and flexible. For me the choice is a no-brainer!

I’ve been recording and editing classical music since 1980...Cohler Classical has been a revelation...When one has hundreds of takes of detailed material, organizing it and being able to see and keep track of everything is paramount. In Cohler Classical, I can see all the pertinent takes in each portion of the edit schedule and easily compare and select them. The fade editing module is elegant and easy to master, and my fades sound very natural...it will be a great tool for recording and editing for many years to come.

The customer service is practically instantaneous!

I am thrilled with Cohler Classical. It is a fantastic solution that I have hoped for since I co-produced a CD using the very-expensive PC-only software Pyramix several years back. Cohler Classical is compact enough to fit on a MacBook Pro, with an elegantly laid out editing window, markers, an intuitive crossfade tool, all for a much more affordable price. All software vendors would do well to emulate Cohler’s level of outstanding customer service...This is great software, clearly designed by and for musicians.

Cohler Classical brings unrivaled Source-Destination editing to REAPER. With 9 source track groups and 1 destination per tab, each completely collapsible track group can contain any number of tracks. Each group is set up identically, and you can cut and paste audio from any source to the destination with automatic crossfades, in one click or keystroke. The track groups are color coded, and each has its own set of 99 same-color markers for ease of editing. Furthermore, each track group has its own IN and OUT markers for quickly choosing sections of audio. Because the groups are identical, you can simply drag and drop takes between tracks as you organize your edit, and because the mixer is identical between track groups, the takes sound the same no matter where you place them.
- 1 Destination track group per tab
- 9 color-coded source groups per tab
- 4-point, 3-point, and 2-point Editing
- IN & OUT markers in each group
- 99 markers per group
- Identical linked mixers in all groups
- Ripple audio, markers, AND automation
- 1-key Source-Destination editing
- 1-key track-group navigation
- 1-key track-group collapse
- 1-key auditioning commands
- 1-key automation for balancing
- And MUCH MORE!

“5 stars: energetic and finely crafted performances; Jonathan Cohler and [the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra] present excellent interpretations that should be the standard for Mozart”
“…an exceptionally transparent and vivid recording that “hears” everything…”
“The recording is supremely involving…”
“The recorded sound is excellent; impactful and sharply defined, but without a trace of artificial enhancement or spotlighting…”
“In the modern era the two best recordings… came from Stoltzman (RCA) and Harold Wright (DG). Cohler’s account shines just as brightly, and it has enough added verve and style for me to prefer it.”
—Fanfare
“5 stars: …large-scaled performances filled with musical passion… [Vitkauskaite] plays the solo part as boldly as Rudolf Serkin, and [Cohler] conducts with more dramatic force than George Szell…”
“…engineering that combines inner detail with overall impact. The full dynamic range of the piano is vividly conveyed, as is the dynamic range of Mozart’s score…”
“… the orchestral sound in these performances is extremely vivid. The strings are marvelously rich at the opening of the Mozart, yet the horn cuts through with absolute clarity. The recording also conveys the orchestra with a keen spatial sense: I heard the interplay between winds and strings in both concertos as precisely located, though my listening system is nothing fancy.”
“…warm recorded sounds…”
