It has beenby many, and still is by many. I do all my audio editing with Gold Wave, and while I'm no professional recording studio, I'm no slouch at the concept either, and there are people who are much more professional than I with recording who will agree. I'm not denying the superiority of Sound Forge as a sound editor, but if you're comfortable with Gold Wave's interface, as I am, then the power is there. bruce -- Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
