I would like to introduce myself to the forum. My friends call me Kenny Q. I am a mobile DJ (since 1984) who has been using Sound Forge for basic editing since before version 2 (1.5 I think). I just bought SF 9 (upgrade with free DVD). I've been using version 5 for years. I also bought Acid Pro Version 3.0 (years ago) but still haven't put it to use. I just bougt a Macbook Pro and I would like to dual boot with bootcamp and run my Windows audio programs. I will be visiting this forum to learn and share what I know about SF and CD Architect. I hope to get into Vegas soon. Thank you, Kenny Q Message last edited on11/1/2007 4:59:11 PM byKenny Q. |

Welcome on board! Glad to have you with us. :) Oooooh, i'd love to see what such an ancient version of Sound Forge looks like. I got on the boat at version 4.5. |

Welcome. I'm a new user of SF, just updated from the consumer level to the big leagues. You mentioned a free DVD with your upgrade, was that the SF training DVD set? If so, I'll look into it since I just upgraded about two weeks back. Anyway, welcome again and I look forward to your posts. Chuck Message last edited on11/2/2007 2:02:10 PM byChuck_DeFiore. |

Yes, My upgrade came with the SF training DVD set. I remember when Sonic foundry would give you a big, thick owners manual with your purchase (I have a nice 4.0 book). Now we get a pdf and we have to print it ourselves. |

Welcome Kenny Q. I'm a long-time user myself, but I've only just started posting to this forum today. In Sony's defense, the trend towards electronic documentation is pretty much universal. Documentation is one aspect of my job, and my employer hasn't printed a manual in almost a decade. For that matter I can't remember the last time I personally bought a physical software package either... Docs are necessarily hard to finalize at the same time the product is ready to ship. So soft documentation is (at least potentially) more up-to-date at release time. And theoretically, it kills fewer trees, since not everyone prints the manual. (Certainly, not everyone reads it - that I can attest to.) I can't bring myself to print entire manuals - just a few key sections that bear reading a few times. What I *really* object to is soft documentation that doesn't even come with the product, but only exists online. I don't mind if online resources are provided as an enhancement, but when I hit the help button and the software calls the mother ship without even asking, I want to scream. I must admit, I do miss the days when you could get away from the mind-numbing screen for a while, throw your ass in an armchair and flip through a nice fat squat book that came in the package with the 14 floppies. But that was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Cheers, WtM |
