I don't think it really matters much, it's just what you're used to. I'm btw grown into 1 being with Cooledit 2000

Soundforge looks really boring, that's one of the reasons why I don't use it.

I use Cool Edit pro 2.0! It's very easy to work with and u can choose between lot of Skins.

Most of the time I use Cooledit becoz I have worked with it for so many years, and I like the interface of it. And yeah Soundforge does have a boring interface

both

The use of both i would say that is the best anyone can do, each one has parts that the other has not..so ...

The best thing about Cool Edit Pro 2.0 is its new Spectrum Analyzer. I record a lot of tunes from my Commodore 64 and HardSID and nothing looks cooler then pulse-width modulation and vibrato techniques It also looks a lot sharper compared with older versions.

My signature was made by heavily magnifying a said tune from a sid chip with some added Photoshop sparkle.

Well, both of them are great. Cool Edit has the multitrack option. Sound forge divide the waveform into regions, and it's more easy to create loops. Cool Edit now comes with the mp3PRO codec, and now you can create loops more efficiently. You decide which is best. But try Steinberg Nuendo or Sonic Foundry Vegas 3.0. You won't believe it!

It just depends on what you can do with each program. remember, its the man not the machine...however, soundforge has been rated the number 1 wave editing program sooo many times by sooo many magazines--it just has so many features, btw,I use soundforge.

Magazines also rate the MusicMatch Jukebox mp3 encoder as the best, so don't believe everything you read in a magazine.

(thats not to say that soundforge is bad, though)

Im not going by what the magazine says, just giving some insight on how it is rated...and like i said, its the man not the machine.

I prefer SoundForge since I first used it as I was 13 (5 years ago hehe). Steinbergs WaveLab is nice too though.
