Hi Jonathan and Alex, thanks for the guidance. I confess that I'm leaning toward amadeus Pro at this point, largely because of the support you talked about, Jonathan. I don't need to record VO, my podcasts would not be Mac podcasts, so that's not an issue. So basically, I'd have a voice track and a music intro track of some sort, and that's all. Is there anything that Sound Forge would do that amadeus won't?
Again thanks. I really appreciate the help.
