Well again you say "All The Talk" and I get back to my point I made
earlier that people just become infatuated with a product or piece of
software to the point that they're blinded to the competition, Winamp is
another case in point, when Winamp ceased development anyone could be
forgiven for thinking that the end of the world was near and I venture
to say that - if for some unexplained reason Sony were to stop
developing Sound Forge Pro - then we'd have poor blind souls marching in
the streets.
Now please bare in mind that I'm sighting examples here and I can see
Sound Forge being round for quite some years to come, radio stations and
other production houses do use it.
On the question of levels? Well I've never needed to worry about those,
all the computer input volumes are set to full so I just record sounds -
mostly those sounds are from sources with fixed levels - but if I do
encounter any level issues then I use the Normalise function, that's
what its for.

Hi, gary. I don't mean whatyou mean by quieting.
You can check your levels in goldwave.

Doesn't have quieting is a killer for me. Goldwave has that but all
the talk said that it was inferior when I was buying. The other
issue was level tracking which SF did better than Goldwave back
then. Has it caught up?
Thanks.

If you are looking for a program on the pc side that is a good
editor I use golswave. Despite opinions to the dcontrary, you can
make just as tight edits in goldave as ou can in sound forge. I
think a lot of it is simply what hyou are used to in terms of an
editor. Jonathan Mosen, for example, who used to be a big proponent
of sound forge, told me recently that on the pc side he now uses
studio recorder for most of his pc editing needs. Now studio
recorder doesn't have all the bells and whistle that sound forge
does, noise reduction, ability to use plug-ins, etc, but for just
plain editing it apparently works very well.

The other problem here also seems to be blind loyalty - pardon the
pun -, people buy a product - in this case Sound Forge -, they've
spent so much money on the product so therefore they're hoping
beyond hope that everything will work as it did in Sound Forge 4.5
and they're not looking to try anything new even though times and
software are a changing and that's unfortunate as those people
miss out on anything that actually works.
Sony Creative Software have never been interested in accessibility
and I doubt they ever will be whereas other products have come
along where the developers are interested in accessibility and
take note of user feedback, there's a lot of competition out there.
A classic case in point is Sonar, I know someone who spent
literally thousands over time on Sonar this and Sonar that,
upgrades and all the rest of it.
I encouraged him to try Reaper and.. well.. he wished he'd known
about it earlier and he's furious with himself for spending a
fortune on Sonar, of course its not his fault but I do give him
credit for having the courage to try another product and just not
blindly follow on.
Finally, I doubt whether 99% of Sound Forge Pro users - whether
Blind or Sighted - would even use a quarter of the functions
offered so we're back to square one, why spend so much money?

I agree that Amadeus Pro is ideal on the Mac side, I've used it
and it works very well.
On Windows, in terms of serious audio production without vision,
there is nothing that beats Sound Forge V8 if you can get it, V9
and above have serious accessibility issues in my view and,
despite me reporting these to Sony, they've not been fixed.
On Windows, for multi-track work I use Sonar 8.5. Again, it's
excellent and allows you to be very precise in terms of achieving
a good overall balance of tracks. I like to be very precise with
my editing, and Sonar does not quite give me the flexibility that
Sound Forge does, but we do use Sonar a lot.

If you’re just relying on Sound Forge to record with a simple
keystroke then you’re money is well and truly wasted<smile>,
Total Recorder for example records at the touch of a keystroke,
just type ctrl-r from within the Application or set up a global
hotkey to record from anywhere.
I’ve not played with Sound Forge Pro for a very long time, Audio
Studio does me so I’m wondering just how many of the “Visual”
features in Sound Forge Pro 11 a person without sight can make
use of?
If you want to know what my favourite audio package is - for
recording, editing, multi track recording and just about
everything else to do with audio - then its undoubtedly Amadeus Pro.

Epic, I've tried it. It's so easy to record with it. 1 keystroke

I love it. Can't wait for them to upgrade Audio Studio.
