If you want to edit a track, SF is just fine.

However many people confuse the term 'edit' with
recording/mixing/effecting/etc, in which case Acid (or Vegas) would the the
choice, cos you CAN'T do multitrack mixing in SF in that sense. Read the
product descriptions !

SF is a multi-channel audio file editor, not a multi-track DAW.

But you can download the free demos and find out for yourself.

Probably not. Acid is illegal and essentially currently
unavailable, and Soundforge sounds like a Wagnerian
dreamscape; only slightly less illegal but certainly
still immoral.

Quit school. Turn on, tune in, drop out. Hey, it didn't
work then, and it won't work now, but neither did the
alternatives in either case. Nothing changes except
the slogans. Find a better path.

Rah, rah, sis boom bah, (and how do you get to be in
PDT with an ".au" ?)

The term "edit" is used these days to cover a lot of ground. Sound Forge
is an editor. Acid is a composition program. If editing is what you need
to do, I'd recommend Sound Forge. If you want to compose music from
existing samples, use Acid. If you already have both programs, you
should be able to answer this question. If you have to buy something,
first try Audacity, which is free and works just fine for editing.
