Software Review:
Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge XP
By David Fiedler
When you're making visual effects, the last thing you need is audio problems!
One measure of a good basic tool is the amount of time it takes you to learn and use
it. Ideally, you should be able to put a software disk into your computer, install it with
a minimum of fuss, and run it without years of study.
The Sound Forge XP audio editing program from
Sonic Foundry
lets you do that and more. It's just so intuitive that you might not use it for months at
a time, but you won't have to worry about relearning it. Syntrillium's Cool Edit used to
be that easy to use, but it's been changed into a high-end monstrosity with too many
features and not enough interface. Even so, Sound Forge XP -- actually the "small
version" of Sonic Foundry's own high-end Sound Forge audio program -- has plenty of
features of its own, and it's an unmatchable value for around $50 (even better for Director 7 users, it's included as part of that package).
Sound Forge XP 4.0 from Sonic Foundry
Price: $49.00 (downloadable)
Requirements: 16 MB RAM, CD-ROM drive, Pentium, 10 MB disk space
