I just bought Sound Forge 5.0 from Mars's web site for $199 but I was looking through some of the posting here and read about a $99 download. Is this true?
Also, the main reason I bought it was because I thought I could use it for red book mastering and I've also read some posting denying it's ability to do this.
Can someone please clarity. I was going to go with T-RackS originally but the price drop to $199 change my mind. Did I make a mistake?

First, you can no longer get SF for $99.
Second, the CD burning tool in SF5.0 does not burn red-book CD-R's. It utilizes the Track-at-once method.

I Bought SF 5.0 4 days ago. I returned it and got
Wavelab instead. This is why:
NO real control of fading or envelopes in the FX.
(if you wanted to apply FX to a Whole mixdown master track, why not use a propper outboard gear?)
NO real control of crossfading (the paste special is a joke)
NO CD Red Book mastering
= T O Y

On the posotive side: SF has a very good collection of
FX that I miss in Wavelab, but do you need an FX box
or a Mastering tool?

I will leave this forum soon...

Good luck with SF!

Ant.

For CDs, I use SF 4.5 and CD Architect.

I use SF 5.0 to edit, CDRWin to burn CD-R's.

Check out www.goldenhawk.com. Very reasonable, and it works !
