Subject:Book for help? Posted by: The_Tango Date:8/27/2001 10:06:40 AM I was a little suprised that SF did NOT come with any docs or book of any kind. Is the book they show "Sound Forge Power" any good? I am not doing anything big, just triming the music, and playing around with the bpm. TIA

The digital book (e-book) is virtualy useless. It does not use many of the features of Acrobat's e-book reader offers. There is a downloadable PDF manual from Sonicfoundry. The online tutortial is also a good starting place.
