All help appreciated.

CD WAVE Editor

if you just need to track the show out check out CD Wave...http://www.milosoftware.com/cdwave/ (http://www.milosoftware.com/cdwave/)
it's designed just for splitting tracks and will load/process much quicker than soundforge if that's the only task you want to do with it.
I use soundforge for any editing (normalizing - resample - dither - etc) resave the file and then open the new file in CD Wave to track. CD Wave will also save directly to FLAC.

What he said. Edit/Mix in Vegas/SF, then save/render out to WAV, open in CDWAVE and track. This is the preferred workflow from Vegas/SF b/c niether concerns themselves with SBEs.

Hopeully this is appropriate for this post, but could you tell me what is the lowest version of soundforge I can buy to resample 24 bit to 16?
-
Dude, go to Sony's website and look it up.

Sorry, Just asking............. ::)

Vegas / SF > flac 1.1.2 is more efficient than that. turn on 'align on sector boundaries' and you're good to go.
and i don't know you, "baytaper", but fwiw you came across as a dick in your last response. i'm just sayin'.

Don't sweat it. If all you want to do is covert 24bit to 16bit try dbpoweramp. Version 10 is what I use for flac/shn conversion but it'll also do wave conversion & it's free. Not sure how great the dithering scheme is but did I mention it's free?
Version 11 is the newer one but there's some mp3/lame royalty issues if I remember correctly so use version 10 which you can get here:

Thanks, I always like free stuff.

I need a copy of Soundforge. I just picked up a brand new Dell XPS, but all of my software is several years old. The SF copy I have won't support 24 bit.
Anybody know where I can get the best price for this? Any help is appreciated.

Sony makes two levels of their soundforge program. One is called Sound Forge Audio Studio 8.0 ($69) and the other is called Sony Sound Forge 8.0 ($299). The later will do 24bit and track your songs. If you didn't pay over $200 you need to use CD Wave Editor. I went through this first hand. You can't return opened software so I was stuck with it. I still use the Audio Studio for tweeking for heavy clapping (vinyl restoration) so it comes in handy, but I agree that CD Wave Editor is nice for tracking.

Hope this helps you and others.
