First of all, if $13 microphones performed "exactly the same as a real dope one", those 'real expensive, real dope ones' wouldn't exist. No matter how hard you squeeze a turd, it will never turn into a diamond.

Now, about your question... Cool Edit has nothing to do with making 'professional sounding vocals'. What does matter is the quality of your microphone and the quality of the amplifiers, converters and cables your mic's signal runs thru. Once you have a good solid signal path, you can record 'professional sounding' vocal takes. After that you enter an entirely new process called mixing, where you can either make those vocals sound great or completely ruin them. Mixing is an ART and if you want to be good at it (much less great), you need to experiment and learn the art itself.

The right way to go about asking your question is to mix something and post the audio in the AUDIO LINK thread, then ask if anyone has any suggestions to make it sound better.

You CAN get beef up you vocals in Cool Edit and get them to sound as close as you can to professional sounding vocals, and even better if you have a newer version. Use the plug-ins and tweak the settings...come up with ur OWN presets, that way you get the sound you want. The newest one is now called Adobe Audition. Get ur hands on that... its a very powerful program if you know what ur doing with it, its not as bad of a program as alot of people think....and deffinetly save some endz and get u a legit mic!!

Cool Edit/Adobe Audition is a software multi-tracker. Simply put, it's a sample-management program with plug-in support, nothing more. If you are applying directX or vst effects to vocals, its the effects plug-ins modifying the audio, not Cool Edit. The result would be the same whether your were using that plug-in with Cool Edit, Cubase/Nuendo, Logic, Sonar, whatever...

Having 'professional sounding vocals' is about having good takes to work with and knowing what to do with them in a mix.
