The former Mac version that was sold through Apple’s Mac App Store is no longer available. Sound Forge also comes in the Audio Studio version – a lower cost Windows product designed for users who don’t need quite as many features. (Sound Forge Pro 12 is expected to roll out in 2018.) Both are advanced, multichannel audio editors, dedicated to editing, processing, and mastering individual audio files, as opposed to a DAW application, which is designed for mixing.Īlthough Magix’s other products are PC-centric, they’ve done a good job embracing and improving the Mac products. I recently tested Sound Forge Pro Mac 3, which is the macOS companion to Sound Forge Pro 11 on the Windows side. Sony, in turn, sold off those products to German software developer Magix, where they appear to have found a good home. Originally part of Sonic Foundry’s software development, the product, along with its siblings Vegas Pro and Acid, migrated to Sony Creative Software. Top features include: Improved DSP-algorithms for native audio effects, slice-oriented edit mode providing a dynamic way to edit wave files, VST3 compatibility and enhanced accessibility.There are plenty of modern tools that deal with audio, but sometimes you need a product with a very narrow focus to do the job without compromise.

Version 3 adds several new features including loudness metering and the iZotope Plug-ins RX Elements and Ozone 7 Elements.Ī new, 64-bit version of SOUND FORGE Audio Studio follows at August 8, 2017. Support for 64-Bit float/192kHz/32 channels high-resolution audio, sample-accurate editing, enhanced professional-level filters and processing and disc-at-once Red Book Standard audio CD authoring makes SOUND FORGE Pro MAC 3 the perfect tool for audio processing and mastering on macOS. SOUND FORGE Pro MAC 3 marks the beginning. Currently under development by engineering teams in the US and Germany, new upgrades begin to arrive this month with upgrades for the entire line slated for completion within the next 12 months. Berlin/Madison, WI (May 15, 2017) – It’s official: The SOUND FORGE community will be pleased to hear that MAGIX has committed to upgrades for the entire SOUND FORGE family of products.
