Yes there is a MAC version of Sound Forge. It's brand new. One thing I do like is that with a Sound Devices USB Pre2 Audio Interface, you get it;'s full 192 thousand KHZ 24 Bit capability right out of the box. On the PC though, you have to install a driver. I don't know if that's too bad, but it's one less thing to do on a MAC. I hear Pro Tools is some what accessible on the MAC. Not completely, but some what. Back to sound forge for a minute. I told you there is SF Pro for the MAC, cabable of full 192 thousand KHZ 64 Bit just like the PC one. Pluss like the PC one it can record 32 channals. I should think that comes out to be 30.2 surround sound. I can't say as to weather MAC audio is better then PC audio not having used a MAC for recording, but it could be true what with how Apple makes everything and only wants the best. Before I forget, I should note that the Screenless Switchers podcast is recorded on a MAC I think anyways, and I didn't hear much difference. Note I don't think they used Pro Equipment like the before mentioned Sound Devices audio interface which goes for $600. Or Pro mikes. Not even something basic like a Sure SM58.
