Hi Jamie, Sounds like you have pretty much made your decision. You felt SoundForge was a resource hog, and probably more program than you need. And Studio Recorder is not the only sound editor one will ever need, so, it sounds like you're are left with GoldWave. The price is right,and it is probably as much sound editor as you will ever need, unless you plan to do some really specialized professional recordings.
