Hi Ben, Sound Forge Pro V. 10 and 11 have the same stereo crossfade capabilities that were once available only in CD Architect. Much better than V. 9.

I've given many demonstrations using the 4th movement of Tchaikovksy's 5th with Koussevitzky. The 1st break in the 4th movement is terrible, but I "make it all better". I grew up with the 78's and I'm delighted that I can fix it. Of course it was reissued on LP in '47 but I didn't know about it till much later.
