Three stars-good for some things but limited. It has a few minor bugs, but do not interfere with what I need done that the Mac version does not, effectively. That is the version I have, and works like a charm. If you have only Mac and no PC running Windows, you can use a virtual machine to run Windows, or use Boot Camp to run Windows, and install Sound Forge Audio Studio 10, for instance. I see no reason to recommend this over the Windows version. Windows version, I like how it opens them 'stacked' horizontally. Entire window taken up, and tabs each opened file as in a Web browser. No Scott Studios Wave and Perfect Clarity Audio, maybe because those CODECs are only supported on Windows (C++ programming?)
You are probably better off using SpectraLayers for that purpose. I do not care because that plug-in did not work very well. No DC Offset removal feature, and Vocal Eraser not supported on the Mac version. It has no encode quality (how long it takes to convert to MP3 the longer the time yields best quality), and the resulting file is shorter than the original, say, WAV version. Opening the program can be slow on the Mac, but opens files about as quickly. Windows programs do not need this, but suppose could be useful as viruses may not make the program as vulnerable. Sandboxing, you have to go under Options and choose, say, a drive letter, and add it to the list so you can directly save the file. Yes, that should be the first issue explained, or rather, differences between the Windows version.
Must be virtual memory within the program to allow this, but not certain if related to sandboxing. Similar in the software behaves as if you hibernated the PC. You can accidentally quit the program, thinking you lost unsaved changes, but then open it again, and to find the file opens back up again. Like with Text Edit, you can close out the entire program then re-open where you left off. One thing that I do like about the Mac version is a minor thing, and is really an OS X feature-Sound Forge takes advantage of Lion (10.7) in that you can close out the program without saving, something you cannot do on a PC.
Still, I prefer the PC version for the following reasons, and this review is intended that you are very familiar with it on Windows. This version is confusing to some, in part the Pro version not on the Sony App Store, where I got it for discount.
