SoundForge has a lot more options for cleaning up a file, and the noise reduction features allow adjustment within an option that lets you really fine tune just how much reduction you will get. The noise gateway settings are much more flexable too. Also, the ability to have a 20 band equalizer beats Goldwave hands down.
I like the batch processing in Goldwave a lot, and it is particularly good on large batches of files located in a number of folders that can all have the same process applied at the same time without any human intervention. Another very nice feature in Goldwave is the easy to understand and use of marking a file and then letting Goldwave split it into separate files. this works particularly well if you have recorded an entire record, gotten the file down to a point where the silence between songs is really good, then Goldwave can take over and separate the selections in the album into one file per song very nicely, and very accurately. As far as close editing the audio file I really don't think that the speech user can do better than Studio Recorder. It is so easy to be so precise in editing that eliminating one little pop that couldn't be gotten rid of any other way is very easy to do with Studio Recorder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
