On va attendre qu’ils aient finis leur travaux d’écriture concernant ce logiciel
On peut penser que si ils ont commencé, ils finiront leur boulot
Donc pour le moment position d’attente

I t was working great but just recently it has gone the way of the trash can. It crashes all the time. It will not even open up a sound file. Great software when you are in the business eh?  Junk.

There was a lot of hope pegged on the release of Sound Forge Pro Mac, but we all know how that went. There are a few alternatives though – Amadeus Pro ($59.99), TwistedWave […]

I’ve seen so much audio editor reviews that do mention Sound Forge but not Wavelab and it has been out far longer than Sound Forge

I want to hear something from Sony, and hope this is a “version 1” type situation. Give me my batch processing and scripting and you will get me back. For now, I will reboot my MAC to my Windows partition to use Sound Forge just to restart to MAC OS again, like I have been for years. :-(

As a long-time SoundForge user on Win, I highly expected this MAC version to be as good as the Win version. Sound Forge is the only reason why I still can’t completely move all my workflow to Mac.

After 15mins of trying SF-Mac, it did let me down. I encountered same issues as the reviewer, Jack Menhorn, did. Lack of customizable MP3 export option, frequently crash while import/save in different sampling rate/bit depth. I also encountered a few more issues those seriously effect my editing workflow;

– “volume..” has been dropped from Process menu. So how can we easily adjust the volume level while editing!

– no “Repeat (F4)” in Edit menu. This is such a handy function to repeat the process without going though the menu again and again.

– can’t use scroll wheel on a mouse to adjust sliders in effects. Kind of pain! clicking and drag or clicking and put the value cause editing way slower.

I downloaded the trial version and now it’s been expired. If Sony improve something in the next update, how can I evaluate this software again to see if it’s worth to purchase?
