Forgive me the dumb question but I was wondering if these programs do the same thing? I know alot of people in here work with these programs and I was curious in the differences between the two. Should I get both or will one do ? Also, is Soundforge compatible with Macs?? Thanks!

check out the thread we posted on about drums that will give a lil insight on what Sound Forge can do.

to me Sound Forge can get the job done like recycle.

however, the Sound Forge program can not save as a REX
file which can be loaded into other compatiable programs
like REASON

Recycle 2 can be used on Mac or Windows. Sound Forge 7 only works with Windows 2000/XP. I use Sound Forge 6 and I'm in no hurry to get SF 7. There isn't really anything majorly different other than being bought up by Sony and some video editing tools. I've used Recycle 2 and i like the sensitivity slider that "slices" up your loop into bite size morsels.
It's all up to you as far as what you want to do for editing.

And it doesn't export as akp. or sf2 either, so you''ll have to make a sampler program yourself if you need it.
