I'm a long time Sound forge user, and looking for a new alternative, something specifically with a browser for my audio files, loops etc.. that I can tag my favorite loops etc..

I can't find anything close to Sound forge in terms of audio editing which I love sound forge for, but it just doesn't have a browser.

Any idea's on what's a good alternative? I've tried resonic pro, but it lacks in terms of audio editing, zoom,etc..

Doubt you can find a combination as powerful as Sound Forge with an audiobrowser up to your specs. You can drag and drop from Resonic Pro so is there a reason you want it all in one app?

Logic and Ableton Live both have browsers. I am not familiar with Sound Forge so not sure if their editors will be up to your standard.

SoundForge is a very powerful editor. I often use the functions of regions, noise remove, split and batch converter.
When I am not on my computer, I always have a USB flash drive with: https://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/index.html
But, unfortunately, this cannot replace SoundForge.

No audio editor has browser. Loopcloud is the closing thing you'll find.

Convenience mostly, right on sound forge is an amazing editor. Just lacks the browsing and tagging options I would love.

Thanks , yes I gave Loopcloud version 4.0 a go, but right no where near sound forge in terms of speed and editing.

Thanks for chiming in guys, I'll keep sound forge, but hope they offer a better browser with tagging options in the future.

Maybe send Magix an update request?

Not sure what you mean by browser... it has an explorer form which one can preview and load files... just lacks a fav/tag option.
Try creating a folder with shortcuts

That's exactly, what I'm missing. The browser I use to dock,so it stays in place, but alot of times I like to revisit material and tweak it. This is where a tag based browser on top of an audio editor, would be amazing. I'll send a request to Magix

I don't know whether I have a clear idea of what you want, or whether this gets more complicated than you want, but, since Sound Forge loads VSTs, maybe experiment with a VST plugin that will let you browse, filter, and add attributes? A quick search finds this:

though I suspect that there are others.
