General
If you use your Mac for creative audio applications, either professionally or as a hobby, a decent sound editor is a real asset. They come in all shapes and sizes, but Sony's Sound Forge is among the most popular packages. The software was developed back in the 1990s (originally introduced as Windows software by Sonic Foundry), and the fact that Sound Forge is still in high demand speaks volumes. Sony Sound Forge Pro Mac 2, suited for Apple users, upholds the great reputation of the software package. It comes with a load of practical functions and high-grade effects that enable you to easily and pleasantly polish your audio projects to perfection.
New in Sony Sound Forge Pro Mac 2
Let's list some of the most noteworthy aspects of the audio editing software. If you're an enthusiastic SpectraLayers Pro 2 adept, you'll be able to integrate that package with Sound Forge Pro Mac 2. Transferring files between the two Sony packages has never been this easy. Another great feature is the new volume meter, which complies with CALM standards, and enables you to give your project an optimal dynamic range without breaking any of the new rules with regard to the infamous loudness war. Would you like to use a compact file format that still offers maximum audio quality? Forget about MP3 - Sound Forge Pro Mac 2 supports FLAC, the popular lossless alternative. iZotope Nectar Elements is another new and welcome addition to the wide functionality of the software, providing you with a great way of editing vocals.
Sound Forge: great for many applications
Anyone can work with Sound Forge Pro Mac 2 - user-friendliness and easy operation have been core characteristics of the Sound Forge software since the '90s. If you're a hobby musician you can record your playing and then cut and maximise the results, add some reverb and save them in the file format you prefer. The software lends itself to professional applications, too. Record multi-samples, cut and loop them and subsequently load them in a (soft)sampler. Mastering large music productions is also part of the options, thanks to the excellent mastering plug-ins by iZotope. Featuring 32 channels and a maximum sound quality of 64 bits/192 kHz, Sound Forge offers all the professional options you need for any project, including complete surround productions.
