What our customer's say!

"I'm impressed.", I just got this program a few days ago; so I am still in the process of becoming familiar with it. At this point I really like what I see. It seems to be quite intuitive. I was initially concerned that the process of learning to use it with facility might be intimidating and frustrating. But my esperiences with it so far give me the impression that even amateurs like myself can master it without getting stressed out.

Here are some things potential buyers need to be aware of:

1)Sound Forge 6.0 has just been issued. I am in the process of upgrading the Sound Forge 5.0 that I just purchased.

2)I heartily recommend the book "Sound Forge Power" by Scott R. Garrigus ... It seems to be very friendly and very helpful. I certainly I am glad I got it.

3)With current CD and DVD burners, you can rip new CD's at incredibly fast speeds. But I was recently speaking with a professional recording engineer; and he told me that for audiophile quality CD's you need to duplicate at slow a speed as possible, preferably 1X or 2X.

"the best", i use Sound Forge for everything from editing / remixing tracks from CD to creating songs from scratch. aside from multitrack recording, i haven't thought of a single thing that this program can't do with sound. and believe me, i've been trying my hardest to push it to it's limit. if you have even the slightest interest in computer based sound recording, you're really missing out if you don't have this product. it's the best.

"Excellent sound editor", In a search for some way to edit my tapes, records and discs, I have tried several products. I finally stubled onto Sound Forge 4.5. When Sound Forge 5.0 came out, I jumped on it. Sound Forge is easy to use and will do much more than I expected using only a computer. Help is excellent and the program is easy to use. It also has an excellent 'undo' capability. Unless you want to go into professional recording, Sonic Forge will serve you well.

"Nearly everything I need", I have been using Sound Forge since about version 3. New versions don't come out very often, but they are usually worthwhile. The latest version of Sound Forge has the Batch Converter, Acoustic Mirror and Effects Processors included. These were optional extras with the previous versions. So the only extra I needed to buy was Noise Reduction - a plug-in that I use fairly frequently.

There are many digital audio editing programs on the market, but I find that Sound Forge does nearly every thing I need, and I have never been tempted to look elsewhere. Sound Forge has a sizeble set of processes, tools and effects built-in, and recognizes Direct-X plug-ins from other manufacturers. Apart from that, you can convert nearly any known digital audio format to nearly any other.

My interest is computer music, and I use Sound Forge for recording and manipulating sounds. I use Sonic Foundry's Vegas Audio for mixing. Sound Forge is stable, fast, and well equiped. My only small critisism is that extracting sound from CDs and creating CDs could have been a bit more user-friendly.

"A godsend!", Sound Forge continues with 5.0 to be THE choice for 2 channel mixing. Sonic Foundry, God bless them, took a great program (Sound Forge 4.5) and retooled it into a perfect program. Now included are Acoustic Mirror & XFX 1-3. If you're mixing to CD, video,etc., then you need Sound Forge. Period.
