Reviews for Sony SoundForge Stereo Editing Software (Windows)
Feature: I know -- it's Windows-only software, two tracks only. But for huge projects, splitting up work over multiple workstations, even if I record on Mac and burn the eventual discs on Macs, it's still been worth my time and sanity to bring mono or two-track stuff across platforms to do the bulk of the work in Sound Forge.
Quality: Sound Forge is an armored tank that I've used to travel through the last ten years. I can think of no software, Windows or Mac, that I've used in my work that was as consistently uncrashable and reliable. When you're paying LA-area voice talent $125.00 an hour and up, you'll lose your shirt (or job, as applicable) by losing time, tracks or work. With Sound Forge, I never have.
Value: Reasonable priced.
Desirability: People who've never used it just stare at you when you talk about it. People who have used it nod knowingly.
Sound: It's very good. The better the interface or input board the better, obviously, but this software has made the most of any of them.
Support: This company themselves as been great, although they had been over-extended just trying to develop too amny products over too broad a front, and conseqently had been strapped for cash. Now that Sony has them, they've left those people in place (and,well, I don't think Sony will be going broke soon...)
Overall: I'm glad Sony bought it and it bringing it back to the forefront.
