Gold Wave can handle some file conversions that Sound Forge cannot. This is the one technical aspect where Gold Wave is better. There are a few technical aspects where Sound forge is better. There are many who prefer Sound Forge's interface to Gold Waves, while others, like me, prefer Gold Wave's interface over sound Forge's. The bottom line is this, though. While Sound Forge is approximately seven times the price of Gold Wave, plus the cost of upgrading Sound Forge periodically, it is not in any way seven times better as a sound editor, not even close. One can do a very professional job with Gold Wave. With the exception of some of the special effects that Sound Forge offers, editing can be done just as finely and just as professionally with either program.
