A question for you audio engineers--pros and hobbyists--on QQ:
I bought SoundForge 8 years ago, when it was still a Sony product, and I still use it occasionally. (I don't do any quad conversions, multi-channel mixing, etc.--yet. Just stereo podcast/radio-type recording: spoken text, laying down voice over music beds, that kind of thing.) I also have the latest version of Audacity, and I recently picked up Audition 3.0, too, when I learned here on QQ that Adobe was giving it away.
Here's my question: SoundForge has been hounding me to upgrade to the latest release--12.0--and teasing me with a "special" discounted price of $29.99. Can anyone who has used SoundForge 12 tell me whether there's any real reason for me to spring for the upgrade, or should I just stick with what I have?
