You are, in fact, not alone. Soundforge is my only piece of software or equpiment used for making music, aside from the microphone that goes into the computer. I sample everything through line in/mic/cd straight into the wav editor, then cut/paste edit, mix, match, etc... all in the wav editor. It DOES take a shit long time, and it took quite awhile to pioneer a good method, AND it takes up a crapload of space. On the other hand, having a visual representation of absoultely every part, section, sound, sample that goes into the song does provide for some versatility, as well, using only one piece of software(which can do almost anything that other software/hardware can do, given the time and knowledge of the program) allows for some focus, rather than having to record a sample, then load a sequencer, and trigger that sample, etc... But the main reason for my method is lack of money to buy other software(or not being able to locate good pirated programs other than the wav editor...shh! don't tell the software companies!). Anyways, that's my two cents. Ali Lalani "When injustice becomes law... Resistance becomes duty." Some montreal protesters
