I've had my eyes on Sound Forge....
would like hearing more about when you get it going.
I've been using it for years. That's the problem though with the registration. HDD's crash, you upgrade your PC, and every time you do that, you have to re-register it. It only takes 3 seconds to do it if you have an internet connection on your DAW ... but they keep track of how many times you do it on their server. Once you hit the limit you have to email them and they reset the counter on their registration server.
I love it. It's way more advanced than I need. I do basic trimming and fades with it, but it can do a lot of things. I used it to RIP cassettes and LP's and clean them up. It comes with some really nice noise reduction capabilities for cleaning up noisy recordings.
I'm using 9.0, but 10 is the current version. I don't know if they updated this in 10 ... but the interfaces for the plug-in's are kind of cheesy, but they work exceptionally well. I love the EQ's in it. It comes with a really good MP3 codec and it supports dozens of audio formats and surround sound.
You can use VST's, but only 32bit ones in 9.0 as far as I can tell. :( So if you have Ozone or Melda in 32bit, you can use it.
There's envelopes as well.
You can download a demo. IIRC it's fully functional for 30 days. Look on line for package deals, you can get it and CD architect together.
Mine also came with some free extra's, like a mastering suite of VST's by the Ozone people. It works, but it's stripped down.
I have to check in to it, but if 10.0 supports 64bit VST's, I'm going to upgrade sometime soon.
