Hi! In previous versions of the Sound Forge Application I used - that's now known as Sound Forge Pro - the regions facility was extremely useful, you could for instance make regions of different portions in your project and treat those as a playlist - only your regions would play when you hit the spacebar -, treat them as a cutlist - everything but those regions of your project in the cutlist would play when you pressed the spacebar, - or you could extract the regions to files - each region of your project would be a separate file -, so far so good. It seems that with Sound Forge Audio Studio these features have been removed so - given that - I have to ask myself the question, why bother with regions at all? What's the difference then in Sound Forge Audio Studio between regions and reference markers? As far as I can tell there are absolutely noe.
For your reference, you can put a "Reference marker" anywhere in your project - no matter what mode you're in - - by pressing the "M" key. So again, another reason to stay away from Sound Forge Audio Studio in my humble opinion, with those useful region tools removed I see little point in the software, Goldwave has a similar feature to Sound Forge's regions in the form of "Cue points", highly useful and further more they can be shared amongst applications that support cue files, you can edit them in a text editor and so on so another damn great reason to purchase this product. And as a final sorry note on Sound Forge Audio Studio, this version seems far less accessible than past versions of the software and I don't think its my imagination either <smile> though perhaps I'm just used to the excellent accessibility provided by Goldwave under Windows or amadeus Pro for the Mac <smile>.
