I do remember using Cool Edit Pro to speed up the Sedares as well and being quite satisfied with the result. Now I just listen to the CD and view it as an interpretation which has its merits. I've never really gone along with all the adverse criticism it received.
I don't believe a hurry along using Protools is any different than cutting in different takes or mixing choirs and instruments which aren't there. It's all an illusion nowadays. It's the result that counts.
