Bruce, ease of use with respect to manipulating markers how one moves around within the audio file, the speed with which deletions, cuts and pastes take place, good quality noise reduction, non destructive editing and so on. goldwave is pretty darn good for most things for the average guy except for the noise reduction. I think it's best feature is the cross fading. goldwave will certainly get the job done most of the time. I believe a good program should stand on it's own merit, less dependent on third party applications to make it work better. you shouldn't have to spend more money on a piece of software like goldwave to bolster it. that to me is what I like in a professional audio production software we'll make a soundforge lover out of you yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 2:41 PM Subject: Re: Goldwave Audio Editor
