Congratulations! Sound Forge changed my life. I've been using it for over four years (after frustrating experiences with Cakewalk and Cubase), and now I've become a complete Sonic Foundry fanatic. I've purchased, and have become an avid user of: Acid Pro, CD Architect, Noise Reduction, Vegas, and -- just last week -- Vegas Video. I love them all. The main reason is the incredibly intuitive manner in which Sonic Foundry products operate. Furthermore, the documentation is ALSO intelligent and thorough. I am not a professional, but I have become VERY comfortable with the complexities of audio mechanics through my use Sound Forge and my reading -- and re-reading -- of the Sound Forge manual. (The same is also proving itself of the very well written Vegas manuals.) You can learn so much from the Sonic Foundry products! But, more important for the short run, you will find yourself able to produce incredible audio with very little effort. Experiement like crazy and you will find no end to what you can achieve with these products. If you don't have one yet, I would recommend you also purchase a professional-grade sound card. I have had good luck with the Echo products (both the Darla and the Layla models), which are very well priced. For your next Sonic Foundry purchase, I would recommend Acid over Vegas. Acid is MASSIVELY versatile -- fully capable of multi-track mixing, in addition to its intended use as a loop compiler. I bought Vegas because I could afford another toy, but I really don't think that I'll ever use it to its fullest (not being a pro). But I am curious about your FX-1 purchase. I don't own any of the FX plug-ins (other than Noise Reduction, which is excellent), but I've never felt the need to -- because Sound Forge comes with an impressive range of effects built-in that seem to be redunant to the FX-1-through-3 packages. Let me know if you find anything substantially more in FX-1 than what is already in Sound Forge. joshua wrote: >>i just ordered sound forge, cd architect and efx1,2 >>what thing do i have to look forawrd to w/ this new >>software!!! |
