Hi Tim,
Not entirely, but almost. I still use Sound Forge for most of my editing,
but have been getting more proficient at editing in GoldWave the more I use
it. When I got my current system (running Windows 7 64-bit), I paid for the
upgrade to Sound Forge Pro 11. Almost immediately, I regretted my decision
as the program was, for whatever reason, acting sluggishly, it would freeze
the system for up to two minutes at random times while I was trying to get
work done, and the selection commands were unpredictable. Sometimes they'd
work great, but other times material that I hadn't even selected was being
affected.
Plus, I hated the fade in and out features in the Mixer dialog, as I was
used to the way things worked with Sound Forge 6, and didn't need my voice
to fade in as music faded out a bit. It finally got to the point where I
ended up going back to Sound Forge 6.0E. Compared to Pro 11, it works
beautifully, but I sometimes notice some pops and clicks in my recordings at
times, though I'm not sure if it's sound card related or not. I also had a
heck of a time getting the program registered on this system as it's an out
of date version.
I had begun playing with GoldWave around this time, and noticed that the
recording issue I had with SF wasn't occuring with it.
I'll admit, it took awhile to figure out how to edit material, but the more
I played with the program, the more I liked, especially things like the Trim
command. I also liked the fact that the registration process was much
simpler than it is with Sound Forge. Needless to say, when my evaluation
period ran out after awhile, I didn't hesitate to buy the lifetime license.
Thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
