SoundForge 7.0 will be the first new version of the popular digital audio package since Sony bought all of Sonic Foundry’s desktop production assets in July this year. Aside from an improved, more informative interface, automatic time-based recording and many other usability features, the new release includes Windows Media 9, QuickTime 6 and RealMedia file export. This updated content creation feature will make it extremely useful for rich-media website creation, as well as in the package’s more traditional applications in recording studios and broadcast environments.
