Steve,

I might have to check Groove Mechanic out.  Mostly, I've been happy with Sound 
Forge's Noise Reduction, but I find 
I have to spend a lot of time playing with parameters to get it the way I want 
it.  It would be interesting to see 
what Groove Mechanic would do on a troublesom short clip of something.  Thanks 
for the info.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Curtis,

Thanks for setting the record straight.  I had an old version of Sound Forge 
and had to upgrade because it would 
not install on my 64-bit system which is why I finally had to upgrade.  I was 
thinking it was Sound Forge 8, but 
clearly it was somewhere before that.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Oh hi, I meant that somehow, I couldn't get the cursor to snap to the
area I was studying or modifying as easily in 9 or above as I can in 8. 
I will probably buy 11, because I have since v5 when it was "Sonic

I'd like to know more about Izotope accessible abilities in sf11 and the
EQ and "exciter?"  is that part of Ezotope?  EQ, many aspects and
algorithms available, but are aspects of EQ in Ezotope available which
aren't part of the Sony plug-in, etc? 
"groove mechanic," where to get, etc.

THANKS!

RE: re soundforge

Hi Steve,

I am using SF 11 Pro on a 64-bit system without issue.

As for Izotope, some of the repair stuff works and some doesn't.  I use EQ
and Exciter mostly, so I can get vocal detail out of bad recordings.

I also use a stand alone program called Groove Mechanic, which is primarily
designed for cleaning up vinyl and tape, but the noise reduction and gating
is fantastic.  If you have a file with noise on it, then do send it to me,
and I will process it with GM just to show you how good it is.  GM is about
30 bucks if I remember right but is completely accessible.  GM is designed
to get rid of all kinds of hiss and it does it without question.  Crackles
too.  Anything like that is fair game, even 60hz hum.

Hope this helps.

All the best

Steve

tapes from a friend who has them. Cool thing was too that the consepts
Jonathan talked about still apply and work. At least the ones I tried and
wanted to do any ways. Oh yeah, with SF Pro. Yeah SF Home Studio can do some
