For one thing...ESPECIALLY on a budget...Audacity is *FREEWARE*,
which thus means a capital outlay of $0.00...! AFAIK, SoundForge is
NOT freeware...which means one has a choice between laying out
some cash, or illicitly acquiring a "pirated" copy...?!

As my song, "Money Talks," goes..."If money talks, it ain't on
speakin' terms with me"...?!
