If you're familiar working with Hitfilm and/or Vegas Effects in conjunction with Vegas, think of Sound Forge to audio as to what Hitfilm is to video. It is a perfect tool for audio mastering where you are only working with a single stereo file. You can zoom into the sample level and perform edits and modifications at that level, you can't do that in Vegas. Think of it more as a surgeons laser precision scalpel in regards to audio. Sound Forge is more of an audio precision analysis and fine editing tool. You can't do punch-in overdubs in Sound Forge, you can in Vegas. You can't record more than a stereo input into Sound Forge, with Vegas you can record as many audio inputs onto separate tracks as your system can handle. Sound Forge does not playback audio, while recording audio along with it at the same time. Hint: My background is that I'm more of audio guy than a video guy where for 90% of my audio work, I use Vegas where it is my preferred audio multi-track editing, recording, and mixing tool. Vegas started off as a DAW multi-track recorder and as such it has very powerful audio features. Actually, Vegas is a much better music creation tool than Sound Forge, so if you want to get her something that is more useful for music, let her start getting more familiar with Vegas and its multi-tracking audio features. Sound Forge won't help your daughter in the music creation process. If you don't currently own Sound Forge, then the $50 upgrade price is well worth it, although since it seems you may not have a lot of experience with audio then those benefits likely allude you at this time. Sound Forge Pro is very useful for me, whether it is useful for others is another thing. If you have a voice like mine prone to 'throat cracking' (vocal fry), I can use the Draw tool to reshape the sine wave to get rid of the 'jaggies' on the sine wave - unless the vocal fry extends over too many sine waves which means find another take. One of the great tools in SF is the Draw tool - especially useful for VOs. This means that you can R click an audio event on Vegas Pro's timeline, click R and choose 'open in Sound Forge' and work on that selected range of the audio event in SF and the save it. Also, once set up in Vegas Pro via Options/Preferences/Audio (tab), you can choose SF (or any other audio editor for that matter) as your preferred audio editor. It is also excellent for editing so many other audio requirements like editing down a 2 minutes audio track to, say, 30 seconds. My main use of SF is to record and edit VOs and then import the. I've been using Sound Forge Pro for 10 years - maybe more (from SF 10).
Have you tried SF and if yes, then did you find it useful?Ībsolutely.
