Hmm, I think Sound Forge is easy to use in terms of keyboard usage than Goldwave. For example, with Goldwave you cannot use the standard Windows selection keys to select parts of an audio file while you can in Sound Forge, meaning you can't seem to do accurate editing in Goldwave like you can with Sound Forge. Any thoughtson this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! On Fri, 29 Jun 2007 22:28:55 -0400, "Steve Boodram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Hi, is gold wave easier to use than sound Forge.
