Good Quality.....not enough instructions

A number of years back, I bought a bundle of Sound Forge XP(4.5) version and CD Architect. Since I have a new computer, it was about time to update the software.

The Quality of the Sonic Foundry products, now made by Sony, is still high. The only issue I have is with the instructions....particularly on how to burn CDs. There is something lacking in the instructions/tutorials.....I've had this a few days and still can't grasp it.

In contrast, on the old software, it was really easy to burn CDs. Then again, I also had CD Architect, which had a lot of good features. However, buying CD Architect separately will add another $100-120.

It's best to wait and pay a few more dollars and get the complete Sound Forge suite, which has everything.

I originally used Sound Forge when it was made by Sonic Foundry so I had a pretty high expectation with this product. Sony did not let me down. Sound Forge remains relatively easy to use and very powerful. In fact, the software outperforms by basic home-study setup, so it looks like I'll be upgrading some hardware to match the quality of my software.

Two things that I really like about Sound Forge. First, you can easily record to CD with this software without having to compile and use an outside title.

Second, you can quickly and easily convert audio files to MP3, WAV, WMA, and other formats including QuickTime® and RealMedia® formats for the web. As a college professor who uses recorded lectures for online classes this gives me the highest level of control over my work.
