I first encountered Soundforge V3 as a pirate copy (sorry) in about 2000. It was useful for editing WAV files I used in early versions of cubase. You can:-
Take a recording, find noise, pops and other indesirables, and remove them.
Split long files into individual tracks.
Stretch the speed of the sample without it changing pitch.
Change volume, compress limit,normalise.
Add effects like chorus, reverb and EQ.
It converts files into other formats. I don't know what else you would want audio editing software to do.
Pirates are buggie, and do odd things like;- freeze or just refuse to work. Now the full program has reached V10 and has a bunch of toys that I have no use for. Thankfully they have released his "lite" version that seems to do everything the old full version did, but also works with MP3 and 24bit files.
Drawbacks? Hard to find. It hasn't frozen or glitched on me yet. You can't simultaneiusly edit more than 2 tracks (making sterio) at a time, but I would use Cubase instead for multitracking. You CAN open several sterio tracks at once and copy/paste between them. The Compressor is labeled "dynamics". That'll save you ten minutes looking for it.
If it has a competitor it is Audacity which scores on the grounds that it is free which certainly sounds atractive however:-
In Sound forge I often need to analise a small section. I do this by setting start and end points and looping (a button) between them. I adjust the loop by dragging the points while its running. In Audacity the new point positions don't take effect until you stop and restart. It won't loop unless you hold Shift and play together. It makes a simple process longwinded. I can't make Audaciy's compressor work (or the settings are off). On one machine I can't actually stop the program - even with Task Manager!
One "toy" remains. The voice removal tool uses filters to isolate the vocal, either to remove the vocal or remove everything else. Good for making Karaoki tracks or isolating a beat to loop. Also good for lifting a vocal for a remix. Its ok but not a magic bullet. It also removes some of the frequencies from what you want to save. Use with care.
Why do people go on about free software? Why do they think that software aught to be free? Surely, if someone does some work, they aught to be paid for it. If something is free, you can't complain if it doesn't work (if you do, they will tell you that that particular functionality or bug fix isn't sheduled right now, because the creator needs to finish his collage project first!).
That said:- there is no reason why software needs to be expencive. You can have "functional" for just £35, or frustrate yourself trying to make the free stuff work. It depends on whether you have work to do!

Provides some quite advanced tools, but crashes quite often, losing unsaved work. Annoyingly, the help file describes functions from the more expensive version which cannot be found in this cheaper version.

the advert for this product implies it comes with other sofware, it doesn't, like so many software products these days it's all about advertizing. Please do not waste your time.
