I personally never could get the hang of Sound Forge (which is in no way knocking the program), but I have done some pretty complicated editing with Gold Wave, which also allows for editing to within a thousandth of a second. Its strength is the ability to move through a file like we used to do with a tape recorder, and then do fine-tuning by manipulating the start and finish markers in other ways. I record all of my radio shows using GW, and being the perfectionist I am, have gotten quite good at intricate editing.
