Azureal Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hey Stephen, I was interested in getting your thoughts on a suitable version of Sonic Forge for editing and manipulating sound files, specifically ATRAC files. I see there are many revisions and I don't intend to shell out 400 USD for the Pro version for a tool I really only want to use to play around. What are your thoughts on the less expensive Studio version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yeah that's what you need. I am still on 9.0 but I bought and am still looking at a copy of 10. I'll install it but the specs clearly say it edits ATRAC. I compared with the previous box, and they both do so.An alternative is to buy one of the relatively cheap sound recording devices from Sony and they throw a copy in as part of the deal. That's how I got my 9.0. You might have to look around a bit, but I am sure you'll find something.Most of the stuff in the Pro version has to do with stuff you don't need - much of it video.Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Very cool, thanks for the feedback. I'll have a look around to see what sort of prices I can find. It looks like a cool tool. I mentioned sometime back that I use the Sony Vegas Studio software for doing Non-Linear Editing of video and for making DVDs from video recordings. I could be wrong but I believe the division of Sony that writes the Vegas tools is also the same division who write the Sonic Forge tools as well. They produce a very high quality product. It is a group of developers in Wisconsin or someplace in NA who I am sure were purchased by Sony years ago to allow them to jump into the market quickly. Thanks again Stephen!

Azureal Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Just to clarify, I have been referring to this software by the incorrect name, it is "Sound Forge". I just ordered this version: Sound Forge Studio 10 For 19 USD I figure I can't go wrong, I hope it's a full Studio version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Should be the right one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
