Hi,

I too am trying to figure out, for purposes of podcasting, whether to use:
*Sound Forge (pro or lite) or
*Studio Recorder

Right now I have trials of both, but I have really not played with Sound
Forge have been just using Studio Recorder...

I did radio with my brother John for 30 years.  We did interviews with radio
personalities from the thirties, forties, and fifties.  We also played the
shows.
We still have the collection of 30 thousand shows, on open reel tape but no
real room to house it except in storage.  So I am working to digitally learn
how to edit on the computer.
My thought was to use Sound Forge.
I had sound forge 5 professional, but it is on another PC and not accessible
at this time.
So, I think I'll just buy version 8.  It will probably do for what I am
exploring at the moment.  That is to do the occasional radio show and
interview.
Thanks.
