Sound Forge 6.0

[caleb2438]

Hello People, I was wondering if Sound Forge 6.0 can record as well as edit. I need something that will record more than 2 tracks at once play back more than 8. The reason I would like SF is all of the included tools. I have Omni Studio. Can anybody offer some input? Thanks again

sound forge 6 is a 2 track audio editor. it is not a multitrack app. check out vegas from sonic foundry, it is the same company.

Vegas video 3.0 le comes with it. Is this what you mean?
Thanks for your reply! It helps !

well, it isnt exactly what i meant, but it is a start. you will not be able to record and play back multiple tracks with sound forge. that is not what it is designed to do. you can, however, with vegas. vegas le is a light edition. you will not be able to do all the things that you can with the full version. you can do pretty much all that sound forge can with vegas alone. if what you are wanting to do is say, lay down a guitar part, then go back and lay down vocals and other instruments, vegas is what you need, not sound forge.

Cakewalk/Sonar XL 2.0 is what I use to do my multitracking. Cool Edit 3.0 Pro is also supposed to support this, but I can't confirm it works as I've only used coll edit pro for editting a few times (mostly a soundforge editting guy myself).

I use Vegas Audio for everything...i have the gadget labs hardware for a soundcard and can record 8 simultaneous tracks...I then do all my mixing and mastering (to the best of my sorry ability) in Vegas. From what I understand SF is good for final editing and mastering of a final mix. So, if you do all your multi-tracking in Sonar....and get a decent mix...you should be able to export the wav file (or whatever file type) into SF for final work. I still haven't really figured out the advantage of using SF if you already have something like Vegas or Sonar. Also, in regards to unlimited tracks...I assume Sonar has that capability. Vegas is only limited by how powerful your computer is...I've had over 20 tracks in one vegas file before...but am limited by how many effects are on the tracks...and how many tracks I'm playing back to monitor by my computer processor.
