Hi All, Since this forum is kind of in a lull, I would like to start some conversations. What do you like/dislike about the program? What are you using the program for? What features would you like to see added? Do you have any cool tricks or shortcuts that you have discovered? Which feature/effect do you find to be the most useful? Please share with the rest of us!

I invite you to go back and read all the desperate (and much ignored) pleas in this forum for 24-bit file support during the last 2 years. I suspect the 'lull' you refer to may be because Sonic Foundry has given many of us the impression that Sound Forge will be left to die a slow, unsupported death. I'm sure many of us have already switched to other products. There are actually some of us who don't care about all the other wizz-bang apps that the company is selling. We just want a simple single-track mastering program ! Mike Ted Hoch wrote: >>Hi All, >> >>Since this forum is kind of in a lull, I would like to >>start some conversations.

Hi Mike, Believe me, I know what the demand is like for a 24-bit Sound Forge. The only thing that I am able to say is that Sound Forge has not been abandoned and is not on "death row." Thanks!

OK, I'll take the bait. Features that need to be added to SF: 24 bit support. CD mastering software with current dynamic burner support. A way to save the bpm of a file so you don't have to resample the damn thing every time. an off shoot to Time compress expand that allows the creation of seamless bpm acceleration and deceleration (acellerondos - sorry, my Italian's a little rusty) Include clipped peak restoration in the Normalization function. What we use it for: Audio production in a studio environment. What we don't want to see happen: Don't want to see SF abandon Sound Forge the way you abandoned CD Architect.

Ted We really appreciate you asking, it shows that someone over their would like to improve Sonic Foundry's products. I would like to see Sound Forge be able to do Non destructive editing like CD Architect does. I personally own a copy of CD architect, so this isn't a real problem for me. When I have to do an edit (say remove 1 verse from a song) I usually open the entire song in CD architect, do the edit and use the "Save as New Wave" feature. If I didn't own CD architect this kind of editing is a real pain in the butt in Sound Forge. The old style of editing using the playlist just isn't feasable anymore and cut and paste is too much guess work involved. If I was able to overlap regions and put envelope crossfades in a non destructive manner then sound forge would be a more productive Stereo editor. I'm also not all that concerned about 24/32bit support, because I know that the final wave going to CD is going to be 16bit anyways. 32bit internal processing would be nice when using plugins though, just so sound forge doesn't look like such a dinosaur compared to the other guys software. We both know that sound forge does internal 24bit already, which is just fine by me because I know no one will really be able to tell the difference between that and 32, but it's my clients who don't know that and they look at me like I'm using old technology. Thanks Ted. Michael Fay wrote: >>Lighten up Ted, "Take the bait" you know - wry humor.

Oh, so what do you tell your clients when they come to you with well- engineered, 24-bit WAV files that they want mastered ???

Well I haven't had any clients bring me a 24bit wave File that they wanted mastered. My clients stuff usually comes in on CDR or DAT. If someone brings in a 24bit Wave file, then they probably already have all the tools to do their own mastering. If not then I open that Wave File in Vegas and transfer it to my Panasonic SV3800 16 bit Dat Player and then Run that trough my TC Finalizer and Record it directly into Sound Forge at 16 bit. I use the Finalizer to do all my real processing, it does a far superior job than any plugin can ever do.

Hi Michael, All I can say at this time is that Sound Forge is definitely not being abandoned. As soon as I have more news, I will post it here. Accellerandos (I think that's how it's spelled) are one of the big features in Acid and the clipped peak restoration function is available in Noise Reduction. I am monitoring this forum regularly, so I will let you know all news as soon as I have it. Ted Michael Fay wrote: >>Lighten up Ted, "Take the bait" you know - wry humor.

What I'd love to see in Sound Forge 1. A history list for effects and functions. Even if it's just a textbox that lists the effects I've applied to a sound. When I start working to create a new sound or loop, it's a royal pain and slowdown to write down every little variation I've applied. It'd be a piece of cake for SF to track them. Of course, a history window that shows what you did and lets you instantly rollback to any previous version would be the bomb, but I'd be happy with just the list. But those out there that use Adobe Photoshop probably have seen the power of the History and rollback tab in action. 2. 24-bit audio. Even if it's just so I don't feel silly using my MIDI Sequencer (that's most of what I use Cakewalk Pro Audio for) to have to import and do a little work on 24-bit audio. 3. More of the functions available in the Batch Processor. Escpecially the Acidize functions. I needed them so much I wrote my own program to do them, but that functionality really belongs in Sound Forge. 4. Since CD Architect is kaput, how about some integrated features to replace it inside of Sound Forge? =) 5. Clipped Peak Restoration. I know, it's in a plug-in, but most software either adds new features or gets cheaper over its lifetime, and this is one I'd like to see. 6. Did I mention 24-bit audio? I'd rather have the history list to be honest, but the appearance of both would put me on cloud nine for at least a month. Hex Freeside www.thefreeside.com |

I totally agree with you, Chris. I would LOVE to see a history feature in SF. I would love it to be imdedded in the file as text - it go go in the file properties box. I know I can add my own comments but, come on, who really wants to do that? Also, I know it seems simple but I owuld love to option to auto-name markers sequentially - 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. and NOT stop at 9!!! For someone who records a lot of voice-over for commercials and audiobooks it's really handy to hit M for marker and write a sequential # in the script that I know would correspond to the marker in the file rather than having to look at the real -time... Then, if I hit 1 or 5 or 25, the cursor would jump to that marker - a la Sound Designer (sorry to mention them). Integrated CD Architect or any DAO feature would really be smart for you guys in 5.0. And, I beg to differ with you Ted. Acid does not have envelope tempo changes. Only assignable in the timeline. I think what people mean is to be able to assign a "velocity" envelope to part of a file or the whole file. And yes, non-destructive editing in SF would be great, even though I do all of that in Vegas. I know a lot of people who don't have Vegas and use CD Architects pretty powerful editing featurtes to do this - so, throw that in 5.0 too. :) a playlist that's actually useful - with transition options like mini crossfades, etc. Althoigh, the playlist thing IS quite passe. The ability to keep all destination folders the same as source folders in Batch Converter so you don't have to do any work moving all the new files at the end of a batch - this one's off the top of my head but I don't think this is possible now. well, that's it for now. Oh yeah, 24bi.... I know it's coming, though. thanks, Charles. Chris Haisty wrote: >>What I'd love to see in Sound Forge >> >>1. A history list for effects and functions.

Hello, I agree with Charles and Cris, but need more pro upgrades like: -Correct meters, with user set the number of samplers for the over between 1 to 10 (Some meters mark over with 3 samples and other with 5 samples) this is very necesary in a mastering applications. -A phase meter (Correlation meter). -The posibility of save the fft results like a file (bmp, or excel graph, etc.). -multiprocessor support. -multimonitor support. -Plugins set like Vegas. -And of course, 24 bits support now.

I've read through the previous replies, and I agree with practically all of them (24-bit, CD support, 24-bit..etc ;). One area where I think SF could be elaborated is in utilities to rework individual sample loops of a multi-sample file -ie: for use in a sampler. Currently the we only have the ubiquitous X-fade loop available. There's a lot more that is possible using advanced DSP. Unfortunately, the only program I've found doing this is Anatares' INFINITY and that's on the MAC. There is NO PC software that even comes close to this software. Being a PC user, and developing sample loops for sampler use, leaves me with basically one option: get a MAC... While at least one of their algorythms is proprietary, there's still plenty that SF could do in this department. Advanced DSP allows for extensive wave modifications that would allow "unloopable" samples to be looped with ease. Other than this, 24/32 bit is the way to go. Thanks for inquiring!! Stephen |

Actually, I was thinking how cool it'd be to have insertable envelopes as in Vegas. This, along with non-destructive editing and 24-bit support, will make Sound Forge KILLER!

Yeah, most of the above such as - - Non-destructive edits - 24 bit support - Acidize batch - Smart marker naming (I use incredible numbers of markers) - 32 bit internal processing and also - -Some kind of multichannel support, so I can run 2 or more stereo samples at once, getting the perfect mix timing before pasting them together -Built in support for noise reduction so I don't have to buy an expensive plugin |

OK- I'm a newby on this but here goes. I have a bunch of old LPs that I want to preserve on CD. I have a burner, Plextor, and a reasonably new computer, 600 MHZ Dell Dimension, Creative Card etc. My turntable is an old Marantz Belt drive and I am having to replace the belt so it is not running yet. I am looking at software which will help reduce some clicks and pops which have gotten ground into some of the recordings over 30+ years. Do I get Sound Forge or Sound Forge XP? Big difference in price and as I don't want to do anything fancy with the things, and I don't mind the price of the Sound Forge XP, will it do a decent job of controlling any surface noise on the recordings? If possible give me a direct reply at cbsimkins@yahoo.com. Any help will be appreciated. Also, do I need to run the turntable through a preamp before inputting into the Creative card. My only test of the Creative card is from a Walkman output and that of course has a preamp. Thanks in advance.
