Okay, I'm not as bias against Sound Forge as I was, not that I really had anything against the software mind you, I used it for quite some time but when I started using the software, I paid over $900.00 for it and the upgrade costs were considerable. Now? Well as many listers will now, the "Audio Studio" - that's the version most people will probably want to use - is a bargain! in my view at under $60.00 and the Pro version is also reasonably priced at $350.00.
I don't know how easy to use the "Pro" version is so perhaps other list members may be able to fill me in on this. I stil think Goldwave is an excellent product because the developers of same have gone out of their way to make the product accessible so that's one huge advantage Goldwave has over Sound Forge, to my knowledge - if you want to access Sound Forge properly with a JAWS system - you need scripts which you have to pay for. If you wish to access Sound Forge with Window-Eyes then there are ways and means of gaining access to controls but it can be a little tricky for those who don't have a nack of "fiddling" with Window-Eyes parameters and so on, I'm not aware of any Window-Eyes scripts for Sound Forge but I've never relied on such things anyway. I'm Using Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 and I'm impressed! with the "Getting Started" tutorials that launch when you start the application, a nice touch and easily accessible through Windows Internet Explorer, the next thing I'd like to see - if possible - from Sony Software is n online manual for Sound Forge in HTML format as you'll find in Goldwave but the "Getting Started" tutorials are certainly a positive, welcome and encouraging step in the right direction. Finally, I'm not trying to be a "know-it-all" here, after all its been quite some time since I've used Sound Forge, my feelings for Windows software aren't as sensitive as they used to be, there's a very special something about using audio and video editing software and the like for the Mac but perhaps the performance differences and speed increases are another topic for another group of messages <smile>. ****************************** Dane Trethowan >From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"grtd...@internode.on.net Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ****************************** ****************************** Dane Trethowan >From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"dane.tretho...@me.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN grtd...@dane-trethowan.net skype:grtdane12 ****************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
