I'm sorry I don't know if I'm looking at the right product, but is Sound Forge great for making up sound effects? Like creating your own Hollywood sound fx like electrical sounds, or wooshes, or thumps for example?

You might want to ask this in the regular Sound Forge forum instead of in the scripting forum, as this forum is dedicated to writing automation scripts for Sound Forge, rather than actually using Sound Forge.

That being said, Sound Forge is an editor, not a synthesizer. It has a few basic waveform generating capabilities but you can't do much more than beeps with it. You would need to go record some basic sounds similar to what you're looking for first. Then you could use Sound Forge to edit and tailor them to your needs.
