Soundforge 6 person here.

after using Soundforge, Wavelab just seems to have a very clunky interface.
as far as I know, Wavelab is only superior to Soundforge because it has Apogees' 16bit dither.

Doesn't Wavelab create a new WAV automatically as you reach the 2GB mark when recording? I have SF 6.0 and it works great; but I've been told that Wavelab is better if you're going to run up against that 2GB barrier. Normally, I run 16/48 and don't come against this; but I was with some one who ran 24/48 and had a bit of manipulation to do to save two WAV files.

Wavlab is not automatic; you have to activate a setting. The seeting is there, though.

i have both. i prefer wavelab. i dont think the gui is clunky or maybe im used to it. the 2gb auto split is nice but, yes, it does take a sec to rejoin the waves and such. from what it sounds like, you cant go wrong either way. this is starting to sound like a new v3 vs. mme thread.

I think in this case, though, there's probably not an audible difference: just a matter of the ease of use in the interface. I've always liked Soundforge. Just kind of interested in that auto-split feature.

in Soundforge, if you save as .W64(an extension to the .WAV format), then there is no 2gb file size limit. you just have to convert later to .WAV, but it is a lossless process...similar to converting SDII> .WAV or AIFF> .WAV

before you convert to wav form w64, split it up into sections that will be smaller than 2gb so you dont run into a problem in the conversion process
