Hi, gary. If by noise suppression you mean noise reduction, any noise 
reductions has to be used sparingly no matter what program you are using.

The first thing would be called noise supression and the second might be
called peak hold.  It's useful when you don't want to guess how loud a
recording gets.  Not having a check makes it easier to set the levels for
maximum to what really happens in a recording that you want to transfer.
Thanks.

    Hi, gary. I don't mean whatyou mean by quieting.


You can check your levels in goldwave.

level tracking which SF did better than Goldwave back then. Has it
caught up?
Thanks.

If you are looking for a program on the pc side that is a good 
editor I
use golswave. Despite opinions to the dcontrary, you can make just as
tight edits in goldave as ou can in sound forge. I think a lot of 
it is
simply what hyou are used to in terms of an editor. Jonathan Mosen, 
for
example, who used to be a big proponent of sound forge, told me 
recently
that on the pc side he now uses studio recorder for most of his pc
editing needs. Now studio recorder doesn't have all the bells and
whistle that sound forge does, noise reduction, ability to use 
plug-ins,
etc, but for just plain editing it apparently works very well.

All though Reaper can open surround sound files right? Can you break
them with it too like with SF?

The other problem here also seems to be blind loyalty - pardon the
pun -, people buy a product - in this case Sound Forge -, they've
spent so much money on the product so therefore they're hoping 
beyond
hope that everything will work as it did in Sound Forge 4.5 and
they're not looking to try anything new even though times and 
software
are a changing and that's unfortunate as those people miss out on
anything that actually works.

Sony Creative Software have never been interested in 
accessibility and
I doubt they ever will be whereas other products have come along 
where
the developers are interested in accessibility and take note of user
feedback, there's a lot of competition out there.

A classic case in point is Sonar, I know someone who spent literally
thousands over time on Sonar this and Sonar that, upgrades and 
all the
rest of it.

I encouraged him to try Reaper and.. well.. he wished he'd known 
about
it earlier and he's furious with himself for spending a fortune on
Sonar, of course its not his fault but I do give him credit for 
having
the courage to try another product and just not blindly follow on.

Finally, I doubt whether 99% of Sound Forge Pro users - whether 
Blind
or Sighted - would even use a quarter of the functions offered so
we're back to square one, why spend so much money?

I agree that Amadeus Pro is ideal on the Mac side, I've used it and

On Windows, in terms of serious audio production without vision,
there is nothing that beats Sound Forge V8 if you can get it, V9 
and
above have serious accessibility issues in my view and, despite me
reporting these to Sony, they've not been fixed.

On Windows, for multi-track work I use Sonar 8.5. Again, it's
excellent and allows you to be very precise in terms of achieving a
good overall balance of tracks. I like to be very precise with my
editing, and Sonar does not quite give me the flexibility that 
Sound
Forge does, but we do use Sonar a lot.

If you’re just relying on Sound Forge to record with a simple
keystroke then you’re money is well and truly wasted<smile>, Total
Recorder for example records at the touch of a keystroke, just type
ctrl-r from within the Application or set up a global hotkey to
record from anywhere.

I’ve not played with Sound Forge Pro for a very long time, Audio
Studio does me so I’m wondering just how many of the “Visual”
features in Sound Forge Pro 11 a person without sight can make use
of?

If you want to know what my favourite audio package is - for
recording, editing, multi track recording and just about everything
else to do with audio - then its undoubtedly Amadeus Pro.

I love it. Can't wait for them to upgrade Audio Studio.
