 Rating:  - Excellent and supports Vista 64-bitSoundforge is excellent - I use it for LP/tape restoration as well as for mastering. The only major issue I have is that v9.0c will not install on Vista 64-bit. -Update 2/24/08- Version v9.0e installs fine now on Vista 64-bit and it is working fine with SP1. Overall, I appreciate Sony's schedule of frequenty releasing minor updates! At least 4 stars... Rating:  - Sound Forge 9.0I thoroughly enjoy using Sound Forge.

I don't have the experience the other reviewers have with sound editing, but I feel comfortable recommending it to someone who has reasonable computer skills.

Read More Rating: - the three stars for unclearity of these types of products(ever)Although this has some fancy bells and whistles, it seems, it does not indicate wheather you can grapht your own voice overs onto all of theses "professionally edited" recordings. ALso in some audio phyle's cases the voice mic use in a quality manner, is the ONLY purpose of this software, as microsoft's own media is of terrible quality. You need a mixer and quality mic recording software, the mixer needs to be user freindly(at least resonably so) and not go through uncessisary complicated steps to be ... Read More |
