While you shouldn't pirate software, Adobe Audition 1.5 exists in a strange purgatory. It is no longer sold. It no longer runs natively on modern Macs. It is functionally "abandonware."
Listen to the way it handles a snare hit. Watch the destructive edit ripple across the waveform. Smell the ozone of the CRT monitor you don’t actually have anymore.
The workflow was insane by modern standards (non-destructive editing? What’s that?), but it had soul . You could destroy a wave file, undo it, add a reverb that sounded suspiciously like a tin can, and render it—all in real-time on a Pentium 4.
