What does SoundForge do that Vegas doesn't? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:What does SoundForge do that Vegas doesn't? Posted by: Urk Date:12/2/2002 8:53:44 PM Title says it all - I've been using VV since the 2.0 incarnation. I understand the fundamental differences between the two products, but what am I missing without Soundforge? Thanks, Eric

Subject:RE: What does SoundForge do that Vegas doesn't? Reply by: Rednroll Date:12/3/2002 3:10:46 PM You can actually do sample conversions and bit depth conversions within Vegas. Sound Forge has a few features which Vegas doesn't, like "Remove DC offset", "Synthesis/sinewave generator", "Reverse audio", audio "statistics (ie rms value). That's about it though, you can pretty much accomplish everything in Vegas, that you can in Sound Forge, it mostly depends on the method that you prefer to do certain things, because SF and Vegas will allow you to do lots of similar tasks, just done in a different manor.

SF is more of the nitty-gritty, disect the individual wave app -- like a Super Chopper and Trimmer all in one. When it comes down to really tweaking an individual file, I don't think Vegas comes close. IMHO.
