Installation is no problem. I did not need the manual because I had version 7. This Soundforge was included with the video editing software from Sony.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

My PC 2.4 Ghz 2GB DD320Go. The software for some plant effects. The effect is selected and displayed on the SoundForge stops working. We must stop the program and restart it. SoundForge retrieves the file you worked on but the display of the effect selectonné when the crash remains displayed.
Despite updating the problem persists.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months. I had version 7 before and I've tried Wavelab. Software is simple compared to Wavelab, more logical. The restoration system for crackles of vinyl is not very developed.
However, there is what to do with this software to work your music. I use A lot. A few extras from previous releases (effects, ...)
The price / quality ratio is excellent. The pro version is much more expensive but it can work on several tracks.
Included with the editing software from Sony. So the choice is made. Crashes, so I lower the overall score. that said, this software is very good and useful.
