Topic: Sound Forge 6

As a new user of this program I was wondering if the book Sound Forge 6 Power is worth buying or not? Anyone have experience with this? Should I use trial and error or is the book worth picking up?

As a new user of this program I was wondering if the book Sound Forge 6 Power is worth buying or not? Anyone have experience with this? Should I use trial and error or is the book worth picking up?

It helped me learn some of the features that the program has.  I read the full chapter for things that I was interested in (normalization, using plugins, etc) - and I use it as a reference.

He has some settings for EQ's to get 'punchiness' and what not, but they didn't increase the quality of my recordings (subjective judgement...) but I don't know how someone can say 'increase this freq 6db' and think it will do the same for every peice of audio...

Anyways, my advice- check out the ultra-maximizer as part of the waves bundle of vst plugins.  They should have named that 'the awesomer' - even with just he presets it really makes my recordings shine (once again, a subjective judgement...)

the SF Power book is great for someone for someone just starting out with the program!

I still reference it from time to time and Ive been using SF6 for almost 3 years now
