Subject:24/96 ASAP, please

Dear Sonic Foundry,

as a long-time user of SoundForge in a professional
environment I have increasing problems to describe my
favorite master-editor to our customers as "up-to-date".
Allthough hardly anyone actually _releases_ stuff in
24/96-format today, more and more people demand at least a
_backup_ that will be at hand when the time comes.

Recently, we installed the new Steinberg/Nuendo as
multitrack- and synchro-platform, and allthough I'm really
impressed sound- and feature-wise (32 bit floating! :-) , I
will come back to SF as long as possible - _if_ it's
possible! - for the ease of use when it comes to mono- or
stereo-edits.

But without 24/96 (and maybe 5.1 and 7.1 formats ....?)
there will be no future, I'm sorry.

Sonic Foundry - we know you can do it! ;-)

All the best,

/Dietz - Media Art Compagnie

I'd be interested in an estimate of if/when 24-bit will be included.
I'm considering purchasing Sound Forge 4.5 & CD Architect for
mastering but lack of 24 bit support is an issue.
