I have started using Soundforge (an old version) on my new Mac to edit recordings made with my handheld recorder. This is an upgrade of sorts for me in terms of both software and hardware as I used to use Audacity before on an old Mac. I do very basic editing like clipping unnecessary parts of the recording and adding some filters to reduce hiss etc.
I realised (to my horror) that whatever editing I do on a particular recording it gets saved even if I don't save it. This must be some preference issue that is wrongly set. Is it a Soundforge issue or an issue with my Mac's settings?
Can someone help me please? I can always circumvent the problem by working on a copy of the original file but I would like to know what is wrong with the way I am doing it.
In Audacity whatever changes I made to a file, finally before closing down it would ask me if I wanted to save all that and I would say no if all I was doing was experimenting with various things. Soundforge doesn't give me that option. It kind of auto saves. Surely that can be changed. I just need to know how.
Help from the experts will be highly appreciated.
Thanks for reading this far and sorry if I sounded extremely dumb
