Yes, I've heard a lot about Goldwave but never tried it yet, ah well it won't do any harm to add it to the "editor collection". The Sound Forge manual is a monster, when I last looked at it I think it was about 400 pages or more, anyone digested each and every page of it yet? I was considerably impressed with Wavepad too, been a while since I looked at it but I don't think it was too badly priced either. Audasity should be worthwile investigating too if features available in 1.35 beta make it to the next official version.
