"don't take the bait"

"This is NOT an "Audio Studio". This is an Audio Splicer."

Feature:
Don't be fooled into thinking that this will allow you to use for mixing audio (Why on earth did they put a photo of an audio mixer board on the box?) This software lacks mixing capabilities. This software lacks multitrack capabilities. The extent of the "mixing" that you can do with it is limited to superimposing one pre-recorded track over another one. This should not be called Sound Forge Audio Studio. This should be called Sound Forge Audio Splicer. That's about all it's good for. It is virtually worthless for musicians.

Value:
Overpriced; Over hyped. It did, however, inspire an amusing idea for me: I should put a 7 inch reel of quarter inch audio tape, a roll of celophane adhesive tape and a razor blade into a cardboard box with a photo of a mixer board on the cover and market it as: "A Vintage Analog Audio Studio".

Sound:
The tonal quality and clarity of the sound is perfectly acceptable.

Ease of Use:
It is simple to use. The reason that it is simple to use is because this software does not do very much. I can get almost the same results with the generic sound recorder that comes free with most versions of MS Windows. Granted, Sound Forge is more precise and has a few more features.
