i agree this tool is one of the best...it is a professional piece of software afterall (not some home-made toy)
i especially love little things like how you can zoom in/out with the scroll wheel (something u cant even do in the cubase sx editor)

and its awesome that it now supports vst plugs

.

what i found disturbing was this quote below:

"Best news of all, this is no more Sonic Foundry Sound Forge. Now it´s Sony Sound Forge!! woooohoooo go Sony! "

???


i dont often see someone cheering on a mega-corp as if it taking over a small company was a good thing

For audio stuff it still lags behind CoolEditPro (now Adobe Audition). Still, it is quick for fixing audio within a video file.

Actually, you don´t have to get Mainconcept´s MPEG plugin anymore. It is now integrated with version 7. You can handle MP3, MPEG 1 & 2. You even have presets to encode with vcd or svcd audio specifications. Ain´t Sound Forge great????

I can't believe I haven't left a review for this software yet! This program is amazing. The holy grail of all audio software. There is almost nothing this program cannot do. I use it frequently to restore audio, using the many filters and options it has. I especially love the paragraphic EQ and normalization tools. This is truly the "photoshop" of sound. Has a great set of presets and is easy to customize and add your own filter templates.

Remember to get the MainConcept MPEG Audio plugin if you want to edit MPEG audio (MP3, MP2, etc).

Forget about all other kiddie sound tools. Sound Forge is without a doubt, like our mate said below, the "photoshop" of audio software. It´s so easy to use, and the results are as professional as the ones you get with the $1000+ sound editing software/hardware. Get a demo version and fool around...you won´t believe what you can do. And like photoshop, you can add the best audio plugins if you´re looking for something in particular. The effects tools are great, and even greater if you take some seconds and change the settings.

Best news of all, this is no more Sonic Foundry Sound Forge. Now it´s Sony Sound Forge!! woooohoooo go Sony!

ok go get it...what u waiting 4?

Sound Forge is the standard for audio editing. Nothing else is as comprehensive, or industrial strength, as Sound Forge. It is the 'Photoshop' of audio.

That said, it is less than intuitive and takes a long time to master. Well worth it, though!

Great editing software, but a little harder to use then Goldwave &/or Cooledit. DX filters are very fast with realtime preview on most curent systems.
