Hi Doc, I would absolutely agree with this. Sound Forge does require more grunt. Studio Recorder is extremely snappy, even on quite slow machines, and Goldwave is better than Sound Forge in terms of its responsiveness on such machines as well.

However I would challenge the most experienced blind Goldwave user to perform a series of common tasks used in sound editing, because I know which product would complete them first. No big deal if you're just doing this as a hobby, but if you're more serious than that, time is money.

Subject: Re: gold wave vs sound forge I AGREE WITH THAT. I DO A LOT OF WORK FOR ESPN HERE AND USE GOLDWAVE FOR EVERYTHING. ALSO DO A LOT OF RECORDING AND EDITTING FOR A COUPLE BANDS THAT I'M IN AND ALSO USE GOLDWAVE FOR THAT. VERY CONFORTABLE WITH IT. THE MENUES ARE COMPLETELY EASY TO USE AND YOU DON'T EVEN NEED SCRIPTS AT ALL TO WORK WITH IT. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
