One other thing.

Whose idea was it to call the software "Audiogate?"

The only product name that I can think of that's worse was Buzz for a high-end preamp company. Of course, Buzz has redeemed itself and earned its high quality reputation.

But Audiogate for an editing program that works with a continuous 1-bit data stream? Obviously someone who has no idea what a "gate" does to audio.
