Other cool tools include AutoTrim, which automatically removes gaps of silence at the beginnings and ends of files or from regions within a file. Both Magix’s Wave Hammer and iZotope Ozone Elements’ mastering tools are great for solving loudness issues. The attraction for video editors is its mastering tools, especially loudness control for broadcast compliance. For audio producers, it complies with Red Book Standard CD authoring. You can also copy and paste between individual channels within a single multichannel file.Īs an audio editor, it’s fast, tactile, and non-destructive, making it ideal for music editing, podcasts, radio interviews, and more. You can process multiple files at the same time and can copy and paste between them. Multiple files are displayed within the interface as horizontal tabs or in a vertical stack. Any other AU and VST plug-ins already installed on your system will also show up and work within the application.Įven though SOUND FORGE Pro is essentially a single file editor (as compared with a multi-track DAW, like Pro Tools), you can work with multiple individual files. In addition to the iZotope Elements packages, SOUND FORGE Pro comes with a variety of its own AU plug-ins. You can record, edit, and process multichannel audio files (up to 32 tracks) in maximum bit rates of 24-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit float at up to 192kHz.
SOUND FORGE Pro is designed as a dedicated audio mastering application, that does precision audio editing. It’s not listed, but the download also includes the Convrt application, which is an MP3 batch conversion utility. The Audio Master Suite Mac adds the Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 4 analysis/repair application. Both include SOUND FORGE Pro Mac, iZotope RX Elements, and iZotope Ozone Elements. However, Mac users can only choose between SOUND FORGE Pro Mac 3 or Audio Master Suite Mac. Across the product line, there are several versions and bundles, including “lite” SOUND FORGE versions.
Current downloads are, of course, an updated build. Although no 4.0 version has been released in the interim, 3.0 was developed as a 64-bit app.
The updated 3.0 version of SOUND FORGE Pro for the Mac was released in 2017. Magix’s other products are PC-centric, but SOUND FORGE comes in both Mac and Windows versions. Since its initial development, it has migrated from Sonic Foundry to Sony Creative Software and most recently Magix, a German software developer. I’ve reviewed SOUND FORGE a number of times over the years, most recently in 2017.
