 OK but GUI could be improved October 9, 2008

Make sure you download the trial versions from Sony's website BEFORE making a purchase. Make sure you know the difference between the Sony Audio products (many of the features seem to overlap).
Does what I wanted it to do, and didn't find many good alternatives. No crashes or other problems. Has a very old, sad looking interface. Not that intuitive to use. If you want to import a video mpg file so you can edit the audio, you'll need to buy a $30 Sony codec!!! Considering there are very good opensource mpeg codecs out there, this seems crazy. BTW, the audio file you edit this way will be saved as an audio file (wav). You'll then need to add that file back into the video with a video editor.
PROs
Does the job
CONs
Sad, old, counter-intuitive interface
Extra cost of plug-ins (codecs etc.)
Don't think this can capture audio streams from the Internets

This item was missing the code to activate the software. The vendor was very gracious in resending the item ordered. I just had to pay shipping and time to repackage and send the original back. The Hurricane did not help in expediting the transactions.
Nice September 3, 2008

Sound Forge is a simple and effective audio engineering and recording tool. It could also, in the way of recording, be used for vinyl to go to mp3, not to mention, you could record vocals, and instrumentation as well if you had the proper equipment. As well, you can use it to edit and master your audio or add effects, mix or remove vocals for the sake of using them, if you cared to, for karaoke. Sony bought the rights from Sonic Foundry for this program and it has always been great.
 software is not working well August 3, 2008
