Sound Forge 9 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)appearantly the last reviewer doesn't understand the simplicity of what a fully featured "audio editing" program is.
as of soundforge 1.0, you could mix vocals into music, ...all you do is copy it onto the clipboard, ...and highlight the area in the audio you want to mix the vocals into, ...and move it also to the cliboard, ...then choose the "mix" setting on the clipboard, ...make any required adjustments inside the dialogue box, ....and click paste.
the cursor should still be left precisley at the point you extracted the audio segment to be mixed.
this is "not" a multi-track recorder.
this is an "audio editing program", ...mainly oriented towards sound designers, ...audio engineer "mastering" specialists. ...and people who use hardware and software samplers who want to get closer, spiritually with the essence of their samplers.
you 'can' sync to video, ...but vegas might be a better option.
soundforge 9 also excepts any VST plugins, ...an insane value if you are already into music production/recording/engineering.
not to mention "noise reduction", ...how else would you get all that vynil onto your hard drive, and capture its origional sound quality?
this editing program is by far more powerful than "ANY" editing program featured in any software multitrack recording program or DAW, ...as well as "ANY" hardware sampler.
although it is meant to "edit" with the entent of dispersing its results onto other working software/hardware applications.
don't get pissed cause you bought a high quality turntable needle, but can't be a full fledged dj without two turntables and a mixer.
the only competition is Steinberg Wavelab.
i haven't used it, ...but it costs twice as much, ...and steinberg has caught up to its features with surround sound mixing, ...video audio syncing, ...vst implementation, ...noise reduction 2.0, ....as well as CD Architect, ...what a great program to create RED BOOK STANDARD commercially professional cds?
soundforge + waves plugins? ....full fledged mastering studio for the price of a few hundred dollars? ...incredible!

SoundSoap 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Holy cow. I've used other filters to clean music, and for this price, I expected a "decent" job. SoundSoap 2 delivered awesome results with the most simple operation--the Learn Noise button. I'm a multi-track artist and had transferred old "open-reel" recordings to minidisc and then CD, in order to archive them. I was not happy with the hiss from older recordings when converting to MP3s. SoundSoap brought these recordings back to life-virtually eliminating the hiss and noise! It even made them "sparkle." And the less I messed with the settings, the better it came out. Downside is that it can't directly save MP3s, but no biggie--use Audacity (free on the Web) or iTunes to then convert your files. Nice job, Bias!
