Of course you can, the chap who is making these unfortunate statements
is - well to put it bluntly - a little unfortunate in that he invested
all this time and money into Sound Forge and there confessed his loyalty
to the software and doesn't want to admit that anything else cheaper is
as good, yep that's the way it is <smile>.
Well a word of advice to that chappy, the world changes as does software
so you've a choice, try what's out there and look at alternatives or get
left behind.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the developer of Goldwave has
listened to feedback from users, that's why Goldwave has accessibility
pretty much out of the box, I don't use the software with scripts or
anything, that's why Goldwave has such an excellent feature set, has a
really great and easy to use manual facility and so it goes.

I also like that I can speed up reading of a audio file, or slow it.

If you are looking for a program on the pc side that is a good editor I
use golswave. Despite opinions to the dcontrary, you can make just as
tight edits in goldave as ou can in sound forge. I think a lot of it is
simply what hyou are used to in terms of an editor. Jonathan Mosen, for
example, who used to be a big proponent of sound forge, told me recently
that on the pc side he now uses studio recorder for most of his pc
editing needs. Now studio recorder doesn't have all the bells and
whistle that sound forge does, noise reduction, ability to use plug-ins,
etc, but for just plain editing it apparently works very well.

them with it too like with SF?

The other problem here also seems to be blind loyalty - pardon the
pun -, people buy a product - in this case Sound Forge -, they've
spent so much money on the product so therefore they're hoping beyond
hope that everything will work as it did in Sound Forge 4.5 and
they're not looking to try anything new even though times and
software are a changing and that's unfortunate as those people miss
out on anything that actually works.
Sony Creative Software have never been interested in accessibility
and I doubt they ever will be whereas other products have come along
where the developers are interested in accessibility and take note of
user feedback, there's a lot of competition out there.
A classic case in point is Sonar, I know someone who spent literally
thousands over time on Sonar this and Sonar that, upgrades and all
the rest of it.
I encouraged him to try Reaper and.. well.. he wished he'd known
about it earlier and he's furious with himself for spending a fortune
on Sonar, of course its not his fault but I do give him credit for
having the courage to try another product and just not blindly follow
on.
Finally, I doubt whether 99% of Sound Forge Pro users - whether Blind
or Sighted - would even use a quarter of the functions offered so
we're back to square one, why spend so much money?

I agree that Amadeus Pro is ideal on the Mac side, I've used it and
it works very well.
On Windows, in terms of serious audio production without vision,
there is nothing that beats Sound Forge V8 if you can get it, V9 and
above have serious accessibility issues in my view and, despite me
reporting these to Sony, they've not been fixed.
On Windows, for multi-track work I use Sonar 8.5. Again, it's
excellent and allows you to be very precise in terms of achieving a
good overall balance of tracks. I like to be very precise with my
editing, and Sonar does not quite give me the flexibility that Sound
Forge does, but we do use Sonar a lot.

If you’re just relying on Sound Forge to record with a simple
keystroke then you’re money is well and truly wasted<smile>, Total
Recorder for example records at the touch of a keystroke, just type
ctrl-r from within the Application or set up a global hotkey to
record from anywhere.
I’ve not played with Sound Forge Pro for a very long time, Audio
Studio does me so I’m wondering just how many of the “Visual”
features in Sound Forge Pro 11 a person without sight can make use of?
If you want to know what my favourite audio package is - for
recording, editing, multi track recording and just about everything
else to do with audio - then its undoubtedly Amadeus Pro.

Epic, I've tried it. It's so easy to record with it. 1 keystroke

I love it. Can't wait for them to upgrade Audio Studio.
