Sonic Foundry has just released a new version of Sound Forge, version 6.0 (beta only right now). I still use Sound Forge periodically, but have migrated mostly over to Wavelab. Here is a quick summary from Sonic Foundry...(Notice that they still haven't added any new CD burning capabilities to replace CD Architect...) Nothing that looks too impressive to me...

"The decade-long legacy of Sound Forge continues to evolve. Version 6.0 provides feature enhancements such as:

· Nondestructive audio editing for increased speed in your productions

· Multitask background rendering allows you to work on multiple files at one time

· New Audio Plug-in Chainer for applying DSP in a more flexible and efficient manner

· Enhanced time zoom (24:1ratio) for increased editing accuracy

· Enhanced Preset Manager for archiving, storing and sharing plugin and chainer presets

· And much more!

Sound Forge 6.0 is the most powerful and efficient audio editing
and mastering system available for the PC."

Sheesh! That is a 6.0 release? Looks more like 5.1 to me!
