I recommend going to Groove3 (Groove3.com), pay USD$15 for one months subscription. On Groove 3 you can look at the training for most DAWs and top of the line Plugins. These are unbiased training videos that clearly demonstrate how to use most of the DAWs mentioned above. (One notable exception is RB off memory). Groove3 also have training on various aspects of music production including methods of creating, recording, mixing, mastering to distribution of music. It is all in one place where the various tools are represented without bias.
In a month you’ll touch the surface of what you want to learn. I went on for a month over 12 months ago and am now signed up for a long time yet and still finding new stuff. Had I gone to Groove3 years back I would have saved a small fortune.

Bob, Audition V1.5 (also V3) are both 32 bit apps. But they run fine on a 64 bit Win 10 machine, that’s what I’m running here.
I’ve been running V1.5 since 2004, bought it when it first came out, they had a special upgrade price offer at the time for people previously running Cool Edit. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve upgraded my computers since 2004, and Windows versions too obviously, but each time I get a new machine I reinstall Audition 1.5 and 3.0 on it, never had a problem.

There's no way in the world you could do something like that on a Mac, every time there is an update something don't work anymore, and now they have banned users from using 32 bit apps. LOL, my sister is always telling how much she loves Apple, she came to me the other day and said 'I updated and now so many of my apps don't work anymore, what's wrong ?? '.
About Audition 1.5 I vaguely remember having this same conversation years ago. The version I had was earlier than that and it would not run and I asked where I could get 1.5 and it's not available any more. I just checked again and the only Audition available is the newest one at $31 per month or $240 per year as a subscription. That's a lot of ongoing money for my casual use. My original point to the OP I think is correct, if he's running Cool Edit then he must have an older 32 bit machine.
So I've got a few DAWs on the go that I am trying out (Cakewalk, Cubase, Ableton) but a common problem I'm having with all of them is that whenever they're running they completely hog my computer's audio, meaning I cannot listen to anything else. This is a bit of an issue when trying to learn how to use them since nearly all the tutorials are videos.
It sounds like you are using ASIO drivers. Most all ASIO drivers can only do one program at a time so if your DAW is on ASIO then nothing else will sound. Temporary change either your DAW or your video program to MME, WDM, or WAS drivers. I would change the DAW to WAS, listen then close the video and put the DAW back in ASIO.
I hope this helps.
PS - I run BiaB in MME and my DAW in ASIO as this way both can be active at the same time.
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

You can use Voicemeeter Banana, set windows to use hardware input 1 or 2 set your audio app to use MME input 1 or 2 or ASIO VoiceMeeter ASIO or Voicemeeter ASIO AUX set the hardware output to your hardware audio device/s you can download them all from the VoiceMeeter website.
