Here's a list of the capabilities of this device when used with Cool Edit Pro 2.x which probably applies to Audition 1.0 as well. The following is taken from a thread on the old Syntrillium forums:
TRANSPORT CONTROLS
REW, F FWD, STOP, PLAY, RECORD - there are dedicated buttons for each of these on the unit's transport section. In addition, if you Double-tap the << REW button it will place the cursor and view at the start of the session, file (in Edit View) or to next left Cue. Likewise, Double-tapping the >> FF button places the cursor and view to the end of the session, file (in Edit View) or next right Cue. The Transport controls will function for the Multitrack and Edit View.

OTHER CONTROLS
PAN CONTROL
There is a rotary dedicated PAN knob on each of the 8 Channel Sliders. This knob will adjust the Pan value in the Track Controls area for the currently selected track.
MUTE/SOLO SWITCHES AND LED'S
Mute any track by using the "Mute" button on the corresponding Tascam channel. Note that the "Solo" button on the Tascam (to the right of the row of Track "Mute" buttons) toggles the tracks' Mute buttons between "Mute" and "Solo". There are indicator lights on each Channel to indicate which is active for Mute or Solo as well.
RECORD ARMING
To toggle any track between "arm"and "disarm" for recording, hold down the REC button and simultaneously click the desired channel SELECT button. The RECORD LED indicator glows red when the channel is armed for record. You can arm as many tracks as needed at any one time.
MASTER FADER
The Tascam's red Master Fader slider is a dedicated slider that accesses CEP's Master Volume mixer slider.
CHANNEL FADERS
The Tascam's white Channel Faders will access both the CEP Mixer Window Track Faders as well as the Track Volume value in the Track Controls area of CEP.
The Tascam's 8 Channel Faders are governed by a 3-way Bank switch. This Bank switch allows you to toggle the set of 8 Faders to control tracks 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, etc., all the way up to track 128.
EQ MODULE CONTROLS
The Tascam has a complete control section for accessing up to 4 bands of EQ on a channel, consisting of 3 knobs (GAIN, FREQ, EQ)) and 4 selector buttons (HI, HI-MID, LOW-MID, LOW). This will access CEP's individual Track EQ for the selected track. Note that CEP has a 3 band EQ, therefore, the 4 Tascam buttons access the following CEP parameters:
HIGH = CEP Hi EQ controls
HI-MID and LOW MID = CEP Mid EQ controls
LOW = Lo CEP EQ controls
The GAIN, FREQ and EQ Tascam knobs access the same parameters for the selected CEP Track's EQ. Note that the Tascam EQ movements control the EQ parameters in CEP's Track Controls area, the Track Mixer EQ values, as well as the EQ Graphic if you have the Track EQ dialog opened.
DATA WHEEL
The Tascam's Data Wheel shuttles the cursor left or right in time across
the Session Display. Since Cool Edit starts playback from the cursor position, this is a handy way to move your playback start position easily. The Data Wheel functions in Multitrack and Edit View.
LOCATE and SET
The Tascam has 2 LOCATE buttons and one SET button. In CEP you can use these for adding and navigating Cues in the Multitrack or in the Edit View. Cue points markers can be created under the current cursor position by hitting the SET button. To jump the cursor to next/previous Cue, hit the << or >> LOCATE button, or double-tap the Transport REW or F FWD button.
NULL
The Tascam's NULL button disengages the channel faders from
controlling CEP's channel volumes and faders. This function is to
allow you to move the Tascam faders to match the software's Track Volume settings. This is so that you can 're-calibrate' your Tascam faders in
relation to the CEP faders/numeric values without altering your current software settings.
INPUT MONITOR
The Input Monitor button toggles the first 4 channel sliders from their
current assignments to the sound card device's 4 analog inputs into the device's monitor. This only affects the level of the audio sent to the device's Monitor and Headphone outs and does not affect the levels seen by the software. This allows you to adjust the monitor level only of the input signal(s) without affecting the record input level. When in this Monitor Mode (when the button's indicator light is on), the first 4 channels' Mute and Pan controls also ONLY affect the monitor signal. You can see the monitor mixer by launching the Tascam software utility.
