This is a very fair assessment. I've fooled around with Sound Forge a few times and gotten nowhere with it, but have since come to the conclusion that Gold Wave suits my personal needs more than adequately. I record all my radio shows and song parodies with it. I am also not a believer in noise reduction unless absolutely necessary as a completely last resort, so SF's superior noise reduction, which I certainly acknowledge, is of little interest to me. But as David said, if you want to know what's best, check each program's Web page out and look at the offered features and decide which are most important to you and how much you're willing to pay for them.
