I would skip Very High Quality; it really is a waist of time. I should probably remove it from the choices; all it does is frustrate people. Just use high quality, and you should get comparable performance. >>> David.Tanner@xxxxxxxxxxx 06/16/06 12:42PM >>> My guess is that for saving a WAV file the saving time will be close to the same. However, if you are talking about exporting to MP3 I would say that SR is considerably slower.

Well, as Brian pointed out to me yesterday and I can certainly verify it, SR opens in a mere fraction of the time it takes Sound Forge to open. I know, it's not a real big issue unless you do as much editing as I do, but it can really save some time. I'm also just about to do another speed test between SF and SR. I always used to save my MP3 files in SF because I could use their high quality save. Well, SR has the same thing. So, here goes the test. An hour long file sampled at 44100 and 16 bits saved in MP3 in both SF and SR. And I'll pick something whose quality is quite high and see if I can tell any difference in that as well. Of course, file size might tell me something too. I wonder if they will be the same? Sure, and I didn't have anything else to do today?

I didn't know I could do that You know Neal, we have never disallowed undo after saves. I can't imagine doing it any other way. Yeah, saves take longer because of this in some situations. But with background saves, this is much less of an issue. You can work on a document all day, and as long as you don't close it, you can undo all at the end of the day, save the original somewhere else, redo all, and keep right on working! I wonder what else we do that people need that they don't realize they have. Rob Meredith >>> neal.ewers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 06/16/06 10:59AM >>> I know, I'm breaking my rule about not properly naming the subject. I didn't realize until yesterday that even after I save a file, I can go back and undo changes I have made as long as the file is still open. I've been complaining that Sound Forge took this out of version 8. Well, it would appear that this is yet another reason to use SR. Can Direct X plug in support be far behind. Oh, was that just a bit too subtle? Thanks Rob.
