Subject:Hardware, Duplication, and the such...

OK, the quick and dirty of this is that I am curious about
the hardware involved with sound forge and some of its
capabilities. What kind of input devices can be used (i.e.
DAT recording, Wireless microphone, etc.), and what would
be involved in getting the sound data off of something like
say a casette, a DAT tape, or a CD?

Additionally, are there any capabilities to do high-speed
dubbing to both tape AND CD through Sound Forge, and if
not how one would go about this.

If you have any answers to this, please duplicate responses
to sfoste2@hotmail.com

Thank ya'!

Sound Forge is mostly used for editing of WAVE files or any other type
of Audio Files. You can certainly bring your music from your DAT or
CD into SoundForge and then edit all of your music to your hearts
content.

If you want to record full arrangements you need a multitrack program,
CakEwalk
Cubase, etc... Those will allow for more tracks. Soundforge only lets
you have a
stereo track.

I don't think you can do high-speed dubbing on a program like this.
Anyway,
why should you need to do that?

I'd like that. digitalizing analog sound archives is a business today.
