Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 6.0 Free Download Full Version

Basically, SoundForge is a high-end sample editor and production tool, which apparently has won loads of awards. As I said I just use it for the Timestretch & stuff....... so this is the thing really; if you can get for the same money as Soundforge, a programme that also is a cool digital multitrack, or an integrated midi & H/Disk audio programme, then why bother with Forge ??
Well......apart from bein a cool dedicated sample editor, Soundforge has extra great feature like a comprehensive Delay & Time based FX section and even a Reverb section, which sounds very good.....All the FX parameters are previewable, and actually re-adjust themselves, as you adjust them in real time.....There is also, a wicked Eq section, Flange, Phasing, distortion.... even a whah-whah !!.....Reverb parameters include Diffusion, Pre-delay times & offset, filter shelving etc....All in all, the FX themselves are enough to justify the price, when compared to the price of some of the plug-ins on the market.....For example, just one pluggin for Cubase/wavelab costs the same price as this whole programme !!!.....So with Soundforge, you get far far more ready-to-go audio processing than with ANY of the other programmes.
Soundforge is a top end 32 bit sample editor/compiler/player, and as such if you want easy fully comprehensive editing, with lots of feature for looping and the addition of great Timestrech and extras like delay, reverb and other time based FX It's great.....But you could also think of it as a software based Akai S3000 or something, because it also has the ability to trigger long audio segments from midi note numbers, or to a SMPTE cue list....Forge is apparently used alot in the US for video production etc..and I would imagine, it's perfect for that job...But as a dance music software ?....Well.......
What I,m tryin to say is........Soundforge , is quite expensive when purchased brand new....so unless you're ONLY after a quality dedicated sample editor/production tool, then if you can get it cheap, get it...... as a luxury extra to your midi & H/D software........You just have to decide ; If you can get a programme for midi/H/D recording, such as Cubase or Cakewalk for the same price as Soundforge....is it worth it ?
However......If you do everything with a PC sampler card, or dedicated sampler and are commited to a sampler based setup, then it's a cool very very cool programme, giving you every possible sample edit feature you need, as well as stacks of FX & processing, & the ability to build MTC or SMPTE cue lists for your longer audio parts such as main vocal track etc, or even to trigger samples from note numbers...there's even a software keyboard included to help with this.
Forge supports sample formats, like Sound Designer and Sound Tools as well as Amiga, Midi Sample Dump, Mac Resource and AIFF etc......Why don't you just download the demo....cos this is a wickedly wicked software I promise you !!
Tell you what.........Rather than reading this waffle, why not go to the SONIC FOUNDRY SITE and download a free demo version.......It's the full works, except you can't save, so you can try it with some WAV's you already have on your PC.....It's a very cool software, believe me !!

Ralph "Stick" Hermann, a didgeridoo aficionado, has released a sample CD of a collection of sounds from this evocative instrument. The CD includes 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo or mono WAV files of bamboo, wood, and metal didgeridoos. The sounds are edited to various lengths and designed to fit loops over a range of tempos and meters. The bamboo and wood samples are tuned to three neighboring pitches; the metal samples are all at one pitch.
The CD is presented in "Web site" fashion, using HTML "pages" to guide the user through the information and directories. Clicking on the link to a sample will open the Windows Media player. Naturally, the WAV files can be opened into audio editor programs by accessing the soundfiles directly. Forwardinoutback runs under Windows only (though the WAV files can be uploaded to any computer with a CD-ROM drive).
For Windows users, Sonic Foundry has developed a suite of audio programs that has gained an important reputation within this community. Its utilities include Acid Pro, a loop-based multi-track editing program, Vegas Video, for multitrack video editing, and Noise Reduction and XFX, signal processors for restoration and signal treatment. Sound Forge is Sonic Foundry's stereo audio editor for mastering, video scoring, and so forth (see Figure 1).
The new 5.0 version of Sound Forge updates the processing resolution, as have many of the other editors on the market. The program can now work with 24-bit files at up to 192 kHz sampling rate. The internal computations are run at 32-bit floating point rate. Additional new features include a set of 18 DirectX plug-ins, including the Acoustic Mirror, for simulating acoustical environments and microphone characteristics, and Wave Hammer, a compressor for maximizing volume without clipping. Sound Forge also provides tools from within the program for extracting audio from...
