Subject:SF 5.0!!! What a turd Posted by: Rednroll Date:1/26/2001 2:52:00 PM What a disappointment, all this waiting for a new sound forge and this is the best you could come up with? The only thing you've done is give it a facelift and finally got 24bit 96Khz support...infact you bi-passed that standard, with 32bit 192Khz support, probably so you don't have to upgrade for another 3 years!!! My biggest disappointments: 1. CD Architect is no longer recognized in menu items. 2. No Non-destructive editing of Wave files or volume envelopes....if you aren't gonna include this, then at least allow CD architect to come up as a menu item, now I have to have 2 installations of sound forge to do mastering work if I want 24bit capability. 3. No drag and drop of CD Tracks to convert to wave file, the old anchient CD architect method. What's the matter, no one can write any new code, just stole that one from CD architect? My opinion, this is a downgrade, 4.5 is much better than 5.0. Looks like I will be learning Wavelab as much as I hate to say that.

Well with Wavelab 3.0's montage mode you will be able to do non destructive editing and lay out all the tracks you want for CD-burning in a manner that was similar to CD Architect. I myself like the stability of Sonic Foundry, but their only product that is refined enough for my purposes is ACID Pro at this time. I do look forward to the advancements they will be making with Sound Forge, possibly they will merge it with Vegas an included CD burning software. -john pemble

What a disappointment, all this waiting for a new sound
forge and this is the best you could come up with? The
only thing you've done is give it a facelift and finally
got 24bit 96Khz support...infact you bi-passed that
standard, with 32bit 192Khz support, probably so you don't
have to upgrade for another 3 years!!!

My biggest disappointments:
1. CD Architect is no longer recognized in menu items.
2. No Non-destructive editing of Wave files or volume
envelopes....if you aren't gonna include this, then at
least allow CD architect to come up as a menu item, now I
have to have 2 installations of sound forge to do mastering
work if I want 24bit capability.
3. No drag and drop of CD Tracks to convert to wave file,
the old anchient CD architect method. What's the matter, no
one can write any new code, just stole that one from CD
architect?

My opinion, this is a downgrade, 4.5 is much better than
5.0. Looks like I will be learning Wavelab as much as I
hate to say that.
